problems with updated references

Post by pkesch »

Dear all,

I am running into problems with changes in configuration. Here a description of the problem:

I had 2 BOs:

companies and contacts

now I linked those two together. I created aa attribute "employees" in companies and linked it to contacts.
In the BO contacts I had one attribute called title1 with a choice list (holding Mr., Mrs, Herr, Frau....)
In the presentation of employees I had the title1 attribute activated and everything worked well.

Now, for better optical presentation and handling I created a new BO called titles1 and created a new Attribute in contacts which I linked to titles1.names (which is the only attribute in titles1).

In order to have this now displayed in the BO companies.employees I created a shortcut in employees with reference to titles.name1.

Usually this works fine when I do so from the early beginning. But now, after changing the attributes I can not select the reference to titles.name1 in the presentation as the attribute is not shown (I guess due to the change the list is not updated!)

When I delete the reference of employees in companies and create it new (same procedure with reference and shortcut) all works fine.

However, I do not want to do this as I will loose all my productive data which is linked due to this reference (and I have to recreate my queries ...)

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have version 2.3 build 966 running

Best regards,
Peter

Did you mean the shortcut was created in the contacts BO?

Peter,

I was able to duplicate your steps & everything seemed to work OK. It's hard to say what the difference is without seeing your BSV. PM me if you'd like me to take a look at your BSV.

Hi Tom,

after installing the latest build (977) all works fine....

I have no clue what happened before... I had to do several of those changes and none worked.

Now all is ok.

Best regards and thanks a lot!
Peter
