There is a big change between 8.5 and ealier version when you display a dialogbox which includes a view : - in earlier version, the dialogbox updates the document passed in parameter
- in 8.5, then dialog box updates then document you have selected in the view
Steps to reproduce :
-
create a subform “SF-A”
-
add a field “tmp”
-
add a button containing : Field tmp := “OK”;
-
embed a view in
-
save the subform
from document add a button which open the subform as a dialogbox :
-
in release 7, when you click the button, the field tmp will be filled in with OK and when you save, the document is updated with a new field tmp (containing OK)
-
in release 8.5 (i didn’t test with 8.5.), nothing appears in field tmp and the parent not is not updated.
BUT THE DOCUMENT YOU HAVE SELECTED IN THE EMBEDDED VIEW IS UPDATED WITH THE FIELD tmp !!!
That’s really a big change !
Is it normal ? or a bug ?
