How can I assign values to these variables with the VALIDATE function?
Also, if the Author field is emptied or values deleted, how can I delete the record "DefaultDimension"?
I think that you try to use dimensions wrong way:
- code for inserting Author as a dimension value missing.
- where your Author OnValidate trigger resides?
- your solution is not portable to higher NAV versions.
- never delete dimension values due to analysis by dimensions standard functionality.
- you can use Author as a dimension in the standard way (with your code to use as default dimension), but never delete it as a dimension value when you use it in posting.
- I recommend to use dimensions in standard way and/or use Author functionality away from dimensions.
