** Branching off on this topic slightly…   Does anyone know why merely selecting a different view in the Admin tool often “changes” something on the form such that when you close it again, ensuring you’ve actually made 0 changes, it prompts you if you want to save?   I find that quite annoying.   Ben   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 10:05 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: TIP for Remedy developers: Keeping fields 'locked' on your form..   Ric,   Kaiser and Ron have described it correctly.. If you are in the USA call me and I'll be happy to explain what to do just in case you are not clear.   I was considering submitting a request to Remedy to do this, but now am wondering whether I should when I know a workaround for this.. But yes having a lock feature would be perhaps more useful than the workaround I have suggested as you would not really need to worry about 'forgeting' to hold down that shift key...   Joe D'Souza Remedy Developer / Consultant, BearingPoint, Virginia.   ----- Original Message ---- From: Ron Tavares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 10:00:05 AM Subject: Re: TIP for Remedy developers: Keeping fields 'locked' on your form.. ** Actually, I found that you don't have to click on anything.  Just hold down the shift key, then you can double click on fields for properties without worrying about moving anything.  On 8/15/06, Richard Crosby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** I'm not sure I comprehend the steps. If you click once on field, hold shift down, then click on the same field again then essentially you have de-selected it. Thus not being able to really do anything with the field. Am I misinterpreting your instructions?   Also, I rely on good old Edit>Restore for recovery when I accidentally move one, or a grouping of, fields.   Richard   PS- Anyone ever bother with submitting an enhancement request for a form/field lock? __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___   __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___
