Cant Tab past Hidden Field in Multi Column Popup Form

Post by gernotlg »

Setup :
  • Form has more than one column.
  • 1 or more fields are hidden via Presentation Rules in any column
  • Form may or may not have Tab Order defined for the fields.. Makes no difference (actually creates another problem if defined)
  • Form is Displayed from a Button either on Panel Operations (Add), or Operations With Records (Edit) from a Query as POPUP
NOTE: The problem does NOT occur when the form is displayed in the Same Panel, Only when displayed as POPUP.

The Problem:
  • When the user presses TAB to go to the next field, the Focus does not change when the next field has been hidden by Presentation Rules in the form setup.
  • When the user presses SHIFT+TAB to go to the previous field, the Focus does not change if the previous field has been hidden by Presentation Rules in the form setup.
This occurs only on forms with more than one column when displayed as Popup.

Sample BSV Attached.
