Document locking and soft deletion

I have some troubles using both Document locking and soft deletion.

Of course a non-manager user gets the msg “Document locking is enabled, you must lock the document before deleting”. This is ok for me, the user just has to manually lock the doc before.

The problem is : locking is never released !

In the Trash view, the doc is still locked, and no one except the locker can restore the doc. Even the db manager cannot perform restoration.

And too bad, I could not unlock the doc by any way, “unlocking” is an action that Notes refuses to deleted docs.

Even worse, if the document is restored by the owner of the lock, the lock is still not released.

Too bad, isn’t it ?

Subject: Which Template?

Does the database inherit design from standard Lotus Notes Template? Which one? Do you see any action menu do you see “Unlock Document” option?

Subject: template

I get this on a home made database, from my own template. I tried to rebuild from scratch the trash view with Designer basic 802 or Designer standard 851.

There is no built-in “unlock” function available. If I try to unlock with a @formula, the msg is “cannot unlock a deleted doc”.

I could only act on this by using a lotusscript, but the result is a bit tricky.
