Guest Paul Alexander Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm trying to add some form data in to a Task field in the BPM designer, but the information isn't being updated. In the BPM, I'm trying to add the details of one of the answers which will be picked up in the Pro Cap so I use the 'select tool' and choose the Pro Cap that I'm using and click 'Inject' button, but the info isn't updating on the BPM form. I can manually add the details of the info I need, so I can get around it, but it's a lot easier to just point and click! Any ideas please?

Victor Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Paul Alexander I don't experience the issue, it injects ok when I try it (Details - field 36)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Alexander Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Victor Hmmm...ok thanks. I'll try the old 'switch it off and on again' trick and see what happens. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Alexander Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Victor This still isn't working after a reboot, AND I'm also getting this: I've added a field to a form in the Pro Capt which is a drop down list of Gas Suppliers, and I want to add another text field which should only pop up if the option of 'Other' is selected from the drop down list. BUT...when I go in to the conditions to set this, the field 'Gas Supplier' isn't available. This is a big form....is there a limit on the number of fields a Pro Cap can have? Thanks!

The BP task is in the "SERVICE REQUEST - HSEQ - Add New Meter to Project" BPM. It doesn't seem to be just that one field which won't 'inject'....it's all the fields.

I have added a new field, called "Field X". This will show up if I set up override flags for any other field like Field 13, Gas Supplier, Supplier ID , etc. However it will not show up if I set up override flags for Field X as it can't be used on itself... makes sense? Also the "Gas Supplier" field does show up on the newly created "Field X" ... Unless I totally misunderstood the issue... 1 hour ago, Paul Alexander said: he BP task is in the "SERVICE REQUEST - HSEQ - Add New Meter to Project" BPM.

I got a copy of the process definition file and I'll ask dev team to have a look at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Alexander Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Victor What you're saying makes perfect sense....but what is happening to me doesn't make any sense at all! I've just done the same as you (added a field) and gone in to set the override flags, and it the Gas Supplier option does NOT show: You've proved that it SHOULD work for me...but it just isn't and I can't think of a reason why......

Well... I had another look now and I found out why... ... So. The "Gas Supplier" field has the ID as "field_12" ... if you add a new field, for some reason the default ID for the new field is... well... "field_12" ... and voila... you will not see the "Gas Supplier" in the list because the ID for "Gas Supplier" is the same as the one of the new field... However, when adding a new field, the PCF engine should use a "non-used" ID but for some reason it uses "12" which is already in use.... anyway, quick workaround, rename the ID of the new field (to like 13 or 14 or else) and then you will see the "Gas Supplier" in the list...

Guest Paul Alexander Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Victor - thank you (again!) Can you help me remember what the hell I was trying to get this to do when I first tried please? I've completely forgotten what I was doing now... On a serious note though, could this be reported please to see WHY the default field names are wrong? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Paul Alexander if it was the BP, I think you were trying to set up the task details information with data from ProCp answers... the issue was/is when using"Inject" from the variable picker it did not work... this is being fixed (if not already). The issue is around focus and the way this is cached... anyway, until the fix is deployed in live instances, there is a workaround which requires the first action, the first click, to be in the field (e.g. task details) to set the focus, then to click on the variable picker icon... if you click on the variable picker icon fist without clicking in the field then the issue occurs... (this is no longer valid as the issue was fixed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 44 minutes ago, Paul Alexander said: On a serious note though, could this be reported please to see WHY the default field names are wrong? @Paul Alexander - ok, I had a more thorough look into this and from what I can see the logic is as follows: when adding a new field, teh default ID will be in teh format of field_<ID>, where <ID> is a numeric value. This numeric value is calculated by looking at existing fields which have this format from latest to first in the list (or bottom up). If a field with this format is found, then it will add 1 to this and you will have your new ID. I'll explain with an example. When you added a new field, the PCF looked at previously added fields (from bottom up) having the field_id format and the first one encountered was field_11 and then the new field ID became field_12. However you already had a filed_12 but this one was moved higher up in the list so the PCF was unaware of it when it first encountered field_11.... perhaps the logic can be revisited so all fields in the list are parsed/evaluated when calculating the ID for a newly added field to avoid such scenarios...

TrevorKillick Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @Paul Alexander I have deployed a fix for the field IDs being incorrectly incremented internally once confirmed all is ok it will be pushed to live early tomorrow, apologies for the inconvenience caused.
