Re: Set Fields action oddness

[Brien Dieterle]

** The only thing that I can think of is permissions on the fields.  If you didn't have permissions to write to a field, but you just had set the fields (which would fail on commit), would that data be readable by an AL?  I'm thinking yes, so nevermind.  Maybe another thing:  Is the form in Search mode or New/Modify (with a current request loaded).  My guess is if it is in Search mode those fields don't act quite right?  Other than that I've got nothing and you've got a very strange problem.

I have a button, and when I click it, it’s supposed to open a CRQ whose ID was just set into the ‘Originating CRQ’ field, which I can see has happened. I added a message action to the button AL to see why the CRQ wasn’t opening, and the message tells me that ‘Originating CRQ’ is empty.   Thanks, Ron Legters ITIL Tools & Process Admin   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Brien Dieterle Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:41 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Set Fields action oddness   ** So you have two ALs-- one triggered by a menu choice and another via a button?  The menu AL sets some fields.  The button AL cannot see these field values?  You are adding the message action within the Button AL right, and not the same AL that is doing the set fields?  I ask because I don't think you can access the TR values of one action by another action within a single AL.

I’ve got a set fields action firing from a menu choice. It sets several fields on the current form from another form. The fields display just fine, they look like they’ve been set, but when I try and fire workflow using the new values, they behave as if they’re empty.   Specifically, the ‘set fields’ puts a CRQ number in a field I’ve called ‘Originating CRQ’, and there’s a button to then display that CRQ. To troubleshoot, I added a message action, and the message says there’s no value in ‘Originating CRQ’ (It says ‘Originating CRQ = ‘)   What perfectly obvious thing am I missing here?   ARS 7.0.1 ITSM 7.2 Windows Server 2003 SQL 2005   Thank you, Ron Legters ITIL Tools & Process Administrator UNIVAR Business Information Services 17425 NE Union Hill Road Redmond, WA 98052  USA +1 425 889 3952  Work ron.legt...@univar.com _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_
