Long description field behavior MAS 8.11 and 9.x

  • 1.  Long description field behavior MAS 8.11 and 9.x

    Posted Mon July 08, 2024 06:44 PM

    I'm on MAS9 (Manage  9.0.43). There are couple of weird behavior with longdescription field. I have a single table and displaying values from it in multiple sections based on type column. For e.g I have 20 asset records with 4 types(FLEET, IT, PRODUCTION, FACILITIES) and the tab has 4 sections that displays from this mbo with a where clause of type=FLEET, Type=IT etc for each sections.
    Problem: There is a description field and a corresponding long description associated. <tablecol dataattribute="DESCRIPTION" id="12345" lookup="longdesc" />
    1. If I set the table control with inputmode=readonly, the long description attribute is not displayed at all.
    2. For now, i have set the table as read only through security group > global restriction. However, if i click on a long description of a record in section(e.g IT) and close(click OK or Cancel on long description window), the row gets randomly replaced by another Asset type record.
    This looks like a bug. Did anyone encounter this before , at least issue #1, if not #2

    For issue #2 here is the table tag
    <table id="123"  relationship="parentchild" whereclause="type='IT'">
    If i change table as below, i.e display data from mbo directly, without using relationship, this issue#2 does not exist. Is there a way to pass siteid of current mbo to whereclause? The relationship just joins the parent table child through siteid. whereclause="type='IT' and siteid=:siteid" did not work
    <table id="123"  mboname="childmbo" whereclause="type='IT'">
