I have a simple form formula in a view that specifies an alternate form to use for web users to read documents but it isn’t working on the web when in read mode i.e. ?OpenDocument.
The formula is: “ShowContent”
If I change the mode to ?EditDocument the form formula works correctly.
I’m pretty sure this is not a permissions issue.
It looks like a bug to me.
Any ideas?
Subject: View Form Formula over rides the Action Button @Command of the rendered document
The orginal form used to make documents is named “Actual Form Name”
The ‘Actual Form Name’ form has an action button in the action bar with this command: @Command([Compose];“Any other FormName”)
The view named “Show Alt Form” has a selection formula of : Select Form=“Actual Form Name”
The action button works properly when a document is opened from the Show Alt Form view, meaning a new document using the “Any other FromName” form is rendered.
– Now…
Now put a Form Formula in the view to have the documents open with a different form that has the exact same Action Button in the Action bar.
Click the action. Instead of a new document being opened using the “Any other FormName” form, the @Command([Compose]) uses the form named in the View’s Form Formula.
