There is a tool available on www.rrr.se that allows you to export your forms and run this tool...it changes the expand flag to hidden on the core fields affected by the upgrade, then you just re-import the def file.

November 2008 15:56 An: [email protected] Betreff: Core Fields Expand Box Someone asked this way back in 2007, but no one replied. In typical hamfisted fashion, BMC has shoved out a modification that impacts every regular form - that is, the core character fields have increased from 30 to 254. This means, of course, that if you left the Expand Box option to Default in the field properties, every one of the fields (Submitter, Last Modified By, and Assigned To) has an Expand Box showing. In most cases, this has caused the GUI on our forms to look ridiculous. Does anyone know of a quick way to change the Expand Box option to Hide? I was hoping for a cool SQL statement like UPDATE field_dispprop SET <something> to <something> WHERE fieldid=4 The above would update all Assigned To fields. Of course, the option for the expand box is in the proplong or propshort columns so it looks like crap and is essentially unmodifiable. Anyone know of an API call for this?
