Re: Commit Changes on Dialog Parent

[Casey Civ Andreas]

**

Where do you have the commit changes running?  In another AL before you close the dialog window, or the AL that captures the event?  Dialog boxes are modal, so if you're sending an event from within the dialog box the AL that captures that event isn't actually running until after the dialog box closes.  Also keep in mind that a commit changes from a dialog box only sends the data to the parent, it does not push anything to the database.  I beat my head against a wall for 3 days trying to figure this out.  Check out the Basic Guide Appx B pg 632 for an example of EVENTs and Dialog boxes.  Hope this helps.

 

Just out of curiosity why not use the "On Close" functionality and then a either a push fields or a commit changes after the dialog closes?

That may be the route I end up taking but I was looking for someone with experience of why the commit that I have in place isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing

** Dear L. J. Head,
                        A simple workaround for this situation would be to set a temp field with a value "Yes" on Commit Action on the Dialog form. Then write another AL on the same action that you performed to invoke the Dialog form at a later execution order and check if the temp field is set to "Yes". If it is then save the record. Hope this helps.

Here is the situation.  Form A opens Dialog of Form B.  On button press on Dialog B I want to set a field on Form A and Save the record of form A.

 

I have the button press on Dialog B performing an Event

I have an AL retrieving that event and doing a setfield for me...this all works.  When I run logging I see the 'Commit Changes' action fire...but it doesn't commit changes...anyone else experience this and know of a work around?
