Sounds similar to what our developers experienced with 16R5 (moving from 15.4):
Today we upgraded to 16 R5. We have a feature in our standard transaction enquiry, that allows a user to switch to a custom enquiry. Once in the custom enquiry mode, the user has the ability to add fields from the related table and modify the order in which they appear. As an example in V16 R5, as soon as you go to set up in the custom enquiry and click okay, it deletes a field from the enquiry and each time you go to the custom enquiry it does the same thing, until you have no fields left. Whilst we can more than likely do a programmatically work around, this would suddenly require us to maintain 2 sets of source codes, one for V15 and one for V16R5. This is something we are not prepared to do, so we have now ceased all development in V16 and reverting back to V15. We are not prepared to do any more development in R releases. So we are back on version 15 for the moment.
