I am creating an application from scratch. At a point I noticed I could not copy text form certain documents in the new design. I found a $KeepPrivate field had been inserted into some of the documents. Even Manager access could not copy the field to clipboard. After deleting the field Managers can now copy text. However, Editors and below can not. Very wierd… I feel I have finally reached the Holy Grail of programing. The ultimate program that programs itself. It is already morphed beyond me control.Anybody else been there?
Subject: $KeepPrivate field - Haunting me…
LOL about the Holy Grail remark - I felt the same way the other day when I first encountered this. I’ve got a lot of Notes admin experience but have only recently begun to dabble in the Notes dev world, writing some very remedial apps. I started writing one a few days ago and noticed that new docs I created with new form(s) (which I’d created from scratch) had this exact problem and I’d never heard of a $KeepPrivate field before. Did some research in the forum and finally cheated and put a $KeepPrivate field in my form(s) with a default value of “0”. It may not be cool to do that for some reason that’s beyond my grasp, but it works, so what the heck. But I share your frustration at wondering why it just automagically appeared…
