Thread: Fields not saving

Fields not saving Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 27 Apr 09 12:51 PM

I created two new fields through the Archtect. I tied these two fields and two corresponding picklist to controls on the Account form. The account form from my understanding should be databound. However, when I make a change to these fields they do not trigger the save icon to be enabled. This results in the values not being saved when I go from one record to the next. Am I missing an important step?

What Property (of the picklist control) did you bind to the Database?
What is the value of the TextType property (of the picklist control) ?

Do you mean the Account Detail form, or the Insert Account/Contact form?

Did you create the new fields on the Account table, or on an extension table?

Are you sure that you bound the controls correctly to the underlying db fields?

Guys thanks for your interest in my question. I appreciate it.
Chavez:
I bound to the Text property. (ACCOUNT:DEM_LOCATION)
The value of the TextType is (ttItem). Not really sure what the difference here is. I just went with the default.

Phil:
I placed my new control on the Account Detail form.
I created a new field on the Account Table itself. String 32
I believe I have bound everything correctly, but I could be wrong.

Maybe a long shot, but you could try to open the manage field level security, and verify the new fields are correctly set. I have had problems with this in the past, see here: http://customerfx.com/pages/integrationblog/2009/03/20/saleslogix-7-5-field-security-issues-with-bundled-changes.aspx Quick thing to try. I beleive you will need to close out of your client (not just do a full refresh) to see field level security changes take place.

Try adding a simple text box and binding that to one of the new fields - maybe there is something weird going on with your picklists that we should rule out.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I found my problem with another script changing my values.
