Property PermanentAssist Bug?

einsTeIn.NET

Hi guys,

is there a bug at the Property PermanentAssist? Its default value is <Yes>, but when I set one of the Properties Lookup, DrillDown, AssistEdit or DropDown or put some code into one of the corresponding triggers the field control is still displayed like a normal control. And when take a look at the DropDown List of the Property itself you will see that No is the first Option and Yes is the second. Only when you explicit set it to Yes the control is displayed in the right way.

This belongs to 2009 SP1 and 2009 R2.


Btw, why can't I search for the word PermanentAssist in the search of the forum?

This is normal behaviour. "<Yes>" is NOT the same as "Yes"! The "<xxxx>" value means the inherited value. And that value can be "No". (try with No in Editable in the table and "<Yes>" in editable on the form. The field will NOT be editable.

What do you mean? I tried it and it works. But I only found your topic. Probably no one ever asked about it.

I thought the brackets mean "default value". I know about the behaviour of the Editable property. Imho that is correct because the table property is of a higher level. But PermanentAssist isn't a property of the table field. Where do you think it inherits its value from?

When I tried to search for the word "PermanentAssist" I got an error message and the word was ignored. Anyway, now it works.

From some of the other properties.
