Hi guys,
I'm seeing some really strange behaviour, and I'd like to ask if anyone else
has seen this.
Please bear with me while I describe the forms and fields involved...
I have tried Dev Studio 7.5 patch 2, 3, and 6.
The form AST:Application (and many others) has a table field -
OSRelationship_tbl.
This table has a column - colOSRelationship_RelationshipName, field ID
301208100
The table definition uses a sample form - AST:SearchFromBase_Relationship
On the sample form, the field 'RelationshipName', referred to by the column
above, has a field ID of 260000000
On the form AST:Application, there is also a field with an ID of 260000000 -
Acquired Method (label is "Ownership Type"). This field is a selection
field.
NOW, here's the interesting part...
I create an Active Link to check the value of
'colOSRelationship_RelationshipName' and perform some action. The 'Run If
Qualification' is:
('colOSRelationship_InstanceID' != $NULL$) AND
('colOSRelationship_RelationshipName' = "BLAH")
When I try to save the AL, I get this error:
ERROR (1588): Value specified for selection not one of defined values for
this field; (BLAH)., 1588, <AL Name>
If I replace the text "BLAH" in my AL with an integer - 0, 1, 2, etc. (using
the expression editor) the integer is replaced with the corresponding text
value from the selection field 'Acquired Method'. Remember that 'Acquired
Method' was the field on the local form with the same field ID as the field
on the remote form referred to by the column field I'm checking.
So, it seems that when I try to access the column value, Dev Studio locates
the field ID on the remote form, and then tries to validate my text against
the local field, and since the local field is a selection field, it fails.
Sorry for the life story above, and thanks for reading this far. If anyone
has seen this, or can reproduce this, or even better fix this, I would love
to hear from you.
Regards,
Matt Willis
