Hello,
I’ve got an old Domino database where I have a dialog list field showing the assigned names of people who need to work on a task. These values get assigned by a webquerysave agent and the names vary depending on what type of task is assigned.
When I view the form on the web in read mode, all the names show up as they should. However, when I put the form into edit mode, only 4 of the 6 names will show up as highlighted in the dialog list.
It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with Domino so I’m probably missing something simple, but I cannot figure out why in edit mode the field is showing 4 people but in read mode it’s showing 6 people.
I’ve looked at the field in question in Designer and I don’t see anything that I think would make it behave this way. It seems like in edit mode it’s defaulting to the same 4 people and I need some direction on what to look for to get this resolved.
If there are 6 people assigned to the task in this field, I need the form to show those 6 people both in edit mode and read mode. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

Do all of the people show up in the selection list at all? If the names have been previously saved but no longer appear in the selection options, the selection list formula will need to be adjusted to include all of the current values as well as the default list.

Have a look at the field’s Input Translation or Input Validation formulas. There might also be a form-level event handler that adjusts the value of the field, or even a translation formula in a completely unrelated field that sets the value of this field.
Another thing (and you weren’t clear on whether there is a time lag between setting the value in the web client and your opening of the document in the Notes client) - maybe the Administration process is removing names from that field? Are the name being removed those of people who are no longer employed?
Lastly, what you can try to do is generate a design Synopsis and search that for references to your field name to see where the field might be getting changed.
