Oh and the form I am says overlaid if that helps or matters. I thought I could add to overlaid forms while in Best Practice mode but again all fields were grayed out to where I couldn't select them.

I know I have inquired about this previously but I want to follow up because I am still getting the same error. I have Dev 8.0. I am in "Base mode" because even in Best Mode not would not let me add a character field...it was grayed out. So I went back into Base mode as I see in the chart below to create this field. Once I got the field the way I wanted it I clicked save and it gave me the "out of reserved range id" error. Most of the fields on the form...origin form start with like 536######...for instance 536873894. Anyway, it would let me save it but I cancelled and changed the field ID to say 100000004 and it saved with no error. Am I wrong in doing that or what should I do. The previous time I received this error I looked at the help files and it talked about the reserved ranges and that I should use 100000000 and up until a certain number (don't have that in front of me right now.) The thing is I have several forms that my team lead is wanting me to change and I don't want to run into this every time I change or add a field. Let me know what you think.

The description you gave sounds as if you stepped out of 'Best Practice Mode' into 'Base Development Mode' and made the change. Just don't go there. If any object in your environment shows "Unmodified", then consider it a BMC OOB object. Create an overlay to make a change to said object. Below is a table of Customization Types you'll see in Developer Studio. --the text in the table below can be found in Developer Studio Help Customization Type Description Mode Custom Identifies custom objects Best Practice Customization Overlay Identifies overlay objects Best Practice Customization Overlaid Identifies overlaid origin objects Base development Unmodified Identifies origin objects that are not overlaid Best Practice Customization and Base Development My interpretation of Customization Type: Custom - Objects you or other developers in your environment have created in Best Practice Customization mode (as you should always do). Overlay - BMC OOB objects that were customized by you or other developers in your environment in Best Practice Customization mode. Overlaid - BMC OOB objects that were overlain. You will only see this customization type in Base Development Mode. If you see it, you're in the wrong mode. Unmodified - BMC OOB objects that haven't been updated in anyway by your or other developers in your environment. Two Resources: - Developer Studio Help - lots of articles on overlays - BMC Webinar from last week - "Overlays and Customizations" Hope this helps.

Anything, original say in Base Mode should be just be overlaid in Best practice mode and not converted to custom correct?

Also, let me know if that is the right thing to do by bringing a form that states unmodified (in Base and Best Practice Modes) and then convert it to custom in Best Practice Mode or is it best to just overlay it in Best Practice mode?

Then I went in and made some fields required which worked fine but then I also made some fields hidden and this did not work. I am not sure if the cache needs to be flushed for this to work or not but that has not been done. Is that needed? I don't have access to the confi tool since our Remedy Server is maintained by our IT group. I did log out and then log back into Remedy and those areas that I made hidden are still there. What do you think? Is it always best to flush cache after editing a form or not? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org<http://www.arslist.org> "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years" _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ ________________________________ This message, and any attachments, is for the intended recipient(s) only, may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or proprietary and subject to important terms and conditions available at http://www.bankofamerica.com/emaildisclaimer.
