Field value disappears on computewithform

hithere is a ‘simple’ text field which becomes a problem: On Computewithform by Agent or Action the value in this textfield disappears.

Also strange is that item properties of this text-field show Datetimevalue NOT nothing in Debugger. Seems it comes from bad Design?

Any Help will be much appreciated

(History: The values were imported from Oracle to a Notesdatabase. Next Step: I copied the values into existing documents of another Notesdatabase (replaceitemvalue and save). The field in this database was once removed and created again)

Suspect formula on form is clearing this field. Check input translation (if editable) or Value formula (if computed). Not all @Functions work in ComputeWithForm – check documentation.

Your point about the debugger is not clear. Saying a value is “not nothing” doesn’t mean much since you didn’t say when it had a value or what the value was at that time.

[The field is nested in a computed subform(other fields in subform are working correct).]

I searched all fields in form for setfield-formulas for input translation and validation, all events like querysave/recalc etc. and i searched the field by name in the design overview database dsgnsyn.nsf and nothing found what could explain this behaviour.

There was an input translation formula i wasn’t able to delete so i created the field again:

@Left(Fieldname; 20)

You are right: Comparing more than two document items (text) in Debugger i see some have datetimevalues and others not

We introduced a form with same name for replication activities without subform. Inside there was a wrong input validation formula for the field. Thanks a lot Andre for Your Help
