Poor performance changing from read to edit mode

Hello,

I have a form with about 20 fields. The labels for the fields must depend on the language of the user, so I used computed text to get the label in the right language from a profile.

When I open a document in read mode or in edit mode, the performance is as expected. But when I change from read to edit mode, it takes 2 - 3 seconds.

Then I replaced the computed texts with computed for display fields and the performance is good (like in a from with hardcoded labels).

I would prefer computed text because of the field list. The form is in a database with many forms. Also in the forum for R6 and 7 I have found some posts in which the good performance of computed text is mentioned.

Thanks

Subject: computed text

I checked with development, and they said the difference may occur because a display field computes once, while computed text computes ‘always’. Thus, changing the state of the document from read to edit causes another re-compute.

Subject: I agree, but …

opening the document is much faster, than changing from read to edit mode, though the form has about 30 - 40 field, which are computed. So opening the document should be slower, than changing from read to edit mode.

Is there anything speedy about Notes 8.5???
