Minor bug in dialog list display

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a dialog list that is set as follow:

  • Editable;

  • NOT allow multiple values;

  • Choices: “Enter Choices one per line”:

    Not Started | N

    In Progress | I

    To Verify | V

    Completed | F

    Pending | P

    Canceled | C

  • Allow keyword synonyms;

  • Default value = “N”

The problem apears when I click on the helper button and in the list of choices the default option apear as two new choices:

 Not Started

 In Progress

 To Verify

 Completed

 Pending

 Canceled

Not

Started

Any ideas?

Subject: Another workaround

Rather than recreating the field (which does work), just do the following:Edit the effected field and check the “Allow Multiple Values” box.

On the 3rd Field Tab (the one with the beanie), under the “Seperate values when user enters”, uncheck everything.

This will fix the bug and also automatically uncheck the multiple values setting.

Why? I don’t know, but it does.

I’ve also encountered this bug. Changing the type of field to Combobox and then back seems to reset the multivalue display settings also.

Seems like it’s using Space as input separator character. You can do this with Notes 6, but only with multivalued fields. I wonder whether the field was once multivalued and now is not, but the space is secretly still working as a delimiter.

Try checking multivalued, select comma or semicolon as your delimiter, then uncheck multivalued.

Or, delete and recreate the field making sure not to mess with the multivalue setting.

Please let us know how you solve the problem.
