I don't know if these are bugs or me.

Trying to create a new grid with the same column set as another grid.

Issue #1 - Copy Existing Grid

1) New grid>Grid Name = T-B

2) Options>Copy of an existing grid

3) Create a duplicate of the following grid: T-A

Error message: Invalid name. Select an existing grid from the dropdown list.

The grid WAS selected from the dropdown list. Solution: change grid name from T-A to TA.

Apparently, using a dash in the grid name caused the problem. A dash is not listed as an invalid character for grid names here: https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=node/269

Issue #2 - Grid Save As

1) Grid T-A with source #TagA

2) Save as>Grid T-B

3) Change source of new grid T-B to #TagB

New grid will not accept new source. It continues to display the tagged items from the first grid. Note that the same thing occurs if I create a new grid using the first method above.

Refreshed the grid, re-started InfoQube, and repeated the above procedure several times, all with the same result.

Hi Wayne,

Issue 1: Fixed in v114h

Issue 2: Works here: Enter new grid source and hit Enter

If I create a new grid from scratch, everything works as it should, including changing the source to a tag.

For the grids created as above, I've been unable to get them to work. Will let you know if I figure something out.

You mean that you can't change the grid source at all ???

Correct. The Manage Grids screen shows the new tag source, but the new grid continues to display the items from the original grid (tag source). Doesn't matter what field I change the source to, it continues to display the items from the original grid. If I refresh the grid, the tags column in the grid flickers, but nothing changes.

I just used the "save as" method with a different grid as the starting point, and it worked correctly.

I'm thinking now that it's related to the dashed name issue, as that was the type of grid I started with. Removing the dash in the name didn't fix the problem but maybe once the problem is initiated it's not fixed by a name change.

I'll start again and avoid any use of dashed names.

Wayne, this is impossible. Please show me what you do

Finally, figured it out and as usual it was an "of course" moment.

Hoist was in effect. If you change the grid source in any circumstances, the grid will continue showing the old hoisted items. As soon as hoist is turned off, the new source items show up

It's a non-issue now that I understand what happened. On the face of it, I would think implementing a new source would unload the current items (hoisted or not) and load the new ones.

Hi Wayne,

I get it. The grid UI is locked for the Source when Hoist is On, but it can still be changed using the Manage Grid dialog

Yes, I changed it with the Manage Grids dialogue.

New source won't go into effect until hoist is turned off. Manage Grids shows the new source at the same time as the Grid continues showing items from the old source.

That's what stumped me. Didn't realize another setting could block the implementation of a new grid source.
