Form Formulas - Shared Private 1st use view

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am using Form Formulas to display documents with different forms depending on the status of the document.

Standard views - work fine.

Shared Private on 1st use view - works for a while but if document is saved using a form NOT in the form formula it dispays using this form.

Is this expected behavior for Shared Private view or bug?

Thanks in advance.

what’s your form formula?

Subject: Form Formulas - Shared Private 1st use view -code

@If(docPublishStatus = 1;@Return(“frmPC”);FORM=“frmDownN” ;@Return(“frmDownN”); FORM=“frmCopyP” ;@Return(“frmCopyP”); docPublishStatus = 3;“frmPS”;“frmPS”)

Once the document is saved with the manager’s form “frmPM” - this is what is displayed to users. “frmPM” is NOT included in Form Formula.

Works reliably on standard views.

Any input appreciated.

Alright. I was hoping there’d be something wrong with your form formula, but there isn’t. I can think of no explanation for why a form formula would nehave differently in shared vs provate on 1st use views in the same db.

To at least contribute something, can I edit your form formula into a slightly simplified syntax?

@if(docPublishStatus = 1; “frmPC”; Form = “frmDownN” : “frmCopyP”; Form; “frmPS”)
