Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Help needed - validation errors

    I'm getting this error popup when I click on a row in a list: "Cannot save because there are validation errors".

    All I'm doing is clicking on the row, I'm not trying to save it. I have some fields in the record with validation rules - simple rules like minimum length and not blank. But I can create a new record and save it without any problems. The problem happens when I then try to click on it. No errors are showing in the browser console. It happens both in the browser and on Android with phonegap build.validation errors.PNG

    Help needed urgently. I have an angry customer! Its build 6012 of AA.

    Re: Help needed - validation errors

    forgot to include the code in the click event....here it is, nothing here likely to cause this problem from what I can see...….

    {dialog.Object}.setDisabled('BUTTON_72', true);
    {dialog.Object}.setDisabled('BUTTON_78', false);

    var lObj = {dialog.Object}.getControl('SITE_LIST');
    lObj.allowNullSelection = true;
    setTimeout(function() {lObj.deselectAll(); }, 400);
    {dialog.object}._listRemoveAllRows('LOCATION_LIST');
    this.allowNullSelection = false;

      OK, found the offending code. It was in the onListDraw event:

      {dialog.Object}.setValue('date_assigned',get_Date(0));

      I'm sure this was working at some stage. Does anyone know if get_Date is valid in AA? If so, what is the correct syntax?

      PS> still don't know why this is causing an error message about validation errors????

        OK, further info on the problem....seems the list doesn't like doing a set value on one of the fields of the list's detail view from a list event. This code was previously working so can only assume its a problem with the 6012 build.

        I replaced the setvalue with a reference to data[i].date_assigned. That seems to work ok.

          The plot thickens.....
          The above did not fully fix the problem. It came back after I did another rebuild. I'm beginning to suspect this is another bug in build 6012.
          What I did discover is that if I turn off the property "Auto commit detail view on row select" in the list detail view properties, the message is replaced with "You must first save or cancel your changes to the list's detail view".

          So it seems AA thinks I've made changes to the lists detail view even though I have not edited it or added any new record, or programmatically changed any of the fields in the list. In fact it is happening when I start up the app and then click on a row in the list without doing anything else.

          I can work around it by adding the following to the click event for the button that displays the panel containing the list:
          var listObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('JOB_LIST');
          listObj.resetForm({prompt: false});

          It only happens once when the app is first initialised. It sounds like a bug to me since this didn't happen until I upgraded to build 6012.

            I'd report it with a test case.
