Hi John, That doesn't sound like a defect - regardless of what you see on the property page, the actual semantic data (allowed values, in this case) doesn't get updated until there's some sort of update action taken, like a page save.
In any case, that's not the ideal way to do it - you should instead define an SMW "concept" that holds that query, and then use either "values from concept" or "autocomplete on concept" in the form input (probably the former). -Yaron On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 12:50 PM, John Arrowwood <j...@irie-inc.com> wrote: > I have a sequence of pages that all have a common base page, "Structured > Documents".
