Editable text field becomes readonly after moving to productionYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Probably something simple I am missing here but since I am fairly new to SLX development, I thought I would throw this out...

I added an editable text field to the Opportunity Detail System Form that populates a custom field I added to the opportunity table. Everything worked great in my development environment but when I moved the package to production, I can type in the field but none of my users can type in the field. I checked the plugin in the production Architect and the field is not ReadOnly.

What am I missing?

Found it… I had to go to Administrator-->Manage-->Field Security Profiles

The Security Profile for a new field shouldn't be set to read-only automatically. You may find that after a few days, your field switches to read-only again. If this happens, create a new field (e.g. DUMMY) in the same table as the other custom field. There is a known SLX bug in which every few custom fields triggers this issue.

Ah... Thanks for the warning. I will continue to monitor. Are you saying that I would then have to remap the data to go to the new "dummy" field to avoid the Security Profile issue?

Don't remap. Just set the security profile to read/write for the original field and add another field that is tied to nothing.

Ok, thanks. That's very strange.

I agree, it is strange. This has happened on two of our SLX implementations. Sage support has recognized this as an issue.
