This is quite strange. You are sure that nowhere in the getClients() method of
the Hours bizobj or in the afterInit() method of the dropdown list the fields
from the Clients table ("clientname" and "pkid") have changed places by
mistake? Because that would give exactly the error you described, I think.

You can set
self.NonUpdateFields = ["clientname"]
in BizHours.initProperties(), then it works. That was the answer I got to the
same question (http://leafe.com/archives/showFullThd/395297#0).
Something else: the "summary" page of the Hours form only shows the newly
entered records and doesn't show the client name. Adding
def onPageEnter(self, evt):
self.Form.requery()
for this page helps.
And now of course we'd like to know what controls should go to the bottom slot
of the summary page and what they should do.
