Composing document and setting field value

HCL Domino Domino Forum

On the action button below script is written to execute when form is compose and set Group field to “GI” value. I am getting error message “notes error: you must be in edit mode to change value of a field”. The form opens in edit mode automatically. Why am I getting this error? I have same code in other db which works fine.

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument

Set uidoc = workspace.ComposeDocument( "", "","SGEAAEntry" )

Call uidoc.fieldsettext("Group","GI")

Call uidoc.refresh

Please advise

Subject: maybe this is your problem (from HELP)

If the ComposeDocument method is used in a view action, the form formula of the view overrides the form specified in the method. To avoid this problem, add the following line to the form formula:@If(@IsNewDoc; @Return(Form); “”);
