Hidden layer and bizarre field behaviour

Hello

I have a form on which I have multiple layers. In one of the layers, there is a dialoglist field with choices calculated in a formula which looks up into a notes view in the same database. It is not marked for multiple values, but the user may enter values that are not in the list. There is no input translation formula or validation formula, no querysave or postsave on the form.

So what’s the problem? if the layer anchor is not hidden, there is no problem, but if it is hidden, every time the document is saved, the contents of the dialoglist field are duplicated, so for example if the field contained “value one” it would contain “value one value one” upon saving. If saved again it would contain “value one value one value one value one” and so on until the contents are too big for the field.

As I say, it only does this is the layer anchor is hidden, if not, the field behaves normally

I can’t see anything in the forum, but has anyone else seen this?

Subject: *That does sound odd. I haven’t encountered it, but I haven’t used that scenario either. What version of Notes?
