<SOLVED 0.9.25 pre-rel17 > More questions on auto-assignment rules

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/01 23:02
Hi Pierre,
 
Some possible clarifications (to be added to the manual) :
 
1- it seems that the order of the auto-assignment rules have an effect -- i.e. They are executed in the order they appear and so this can have an influence on the "result". But this is not necessarily an evidence. And maybe is my assumption wrong.
 
2- Sometimes, even if the value in afield is not really modified (i.e.  a VB script replaces the field value by itself) and has the auto-assignment "M:" switch, it will trigger its auto assignment equations.
etc.?
 
 
Thanks !

<SOLVED> Properties pane syncing problem <now in mantis>

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/01 22:58
There's a syncing problem between grid and properties pane. I still don't know how to reproduce it, but there is definitely a problem.
 
So if anybody else is able to find the steps, please post them -- syncing problems are important as it's possible to erase/modify data without realizing... Which I've just done.
 
(I'll create a Mantis issue when we know how to reproduce it)

As recommended in the Forum's main page : let's dicuss changes, suggestions and bugs here first !

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/01 20:05
Otherwise Mantis becomes overloaded with maybe nice suggestions but also non-issues -- sometimes related to incomprehensions and absence of certain manual sections (i.e. : things that are fixable by the community...)
 
Pierre : Could we have a sticky for this ? Thanks.

<Solved> Event deletion in the calendar doesn't work as expected <now in mantis>

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/01 15:34
Unclear interface maybe ?
 
When an item is replicated (ctrl-drag-drop), erase item will only work for the first item deleted (of the replicated series).
After that, it doesn't work, and only one option out of the deletion dialog works (See screencast)
 
 
A question also comes to mind : how is it possible to delete an item and still have it appear as an event in the calendar ?
 
 
Comments anyone ?

Sticky post explaining how the bug forum section should be used in conjunction with mantis ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/01/30 16:01
Something like :
 
- discuss bugs, suggestions here
 
- if a bug/suggestion/crash report is either verified or serious enough one should enter it in Mantis IF it hasn't been reported yet (a search of some key terms, and using the advanced filter should allow the reporter to have a clear idea of the portrait)
 
I know there are some directions on the main forum age about that. But a sticky post with some more specific guidelines should be at the top of this forum.

Questions on functions for auto assign rules

Submitted by ajr on 2010/01/29 23:27
 I have a number field (TradeLongCount) that is either a 1 or a zero.  It takes a Boolean field's value and multiplies it by -1.  The goal is that as I click the yes/no box, an icon will be added and then removed from the item field.  Here's what I've tried in the Auto Assign Rules of the TradeLongCount field:
 
A:Item=AddKeyword(Item,"<img>arrow_up</img>")|E:Item=RemoveKeyword(Item,"<img>arrow_up</img>")
 
This has no effect on the item field.
 
Then I tried:
 
M:Item=if TradeLongCount=1 then AddKeyword(Item,"<img>arrow_up</img>") elseif TradeLongCount=0 then RemoveKeyword(Item,"<img>arrow_up</img>")
 
This will completely empty the existing text in the Item field at the first click, not adding the icon.

IQBase crashes when opened. Options?

Submitted by ajr on 2010/01/29 20:07
 I've got an IQBase that crashes immediately upon opening.  The last work done on it was to use the AddKeyword and RemoveKeyword functions to push some icon images.  If I remember right, I was trying to create a rule that would check the value of a second field when it crashed.
 
I've downloaded PreRel 16 and it works fine with a different IQBase.  What can I do with the one that keeps crashing?
