Hi,

Is this a fm 7.2 bug ?
The situation: a row in a table has an attribute. To change the value, you double click the attribute, click "set value" and close the dialog box. In FM 7.0, the value was indeed set. In 7.2 however, nothing changes. You have to double click the attribute a second time, click "set value" and then the value changes indeed.

This problem does not occur with attributes that belong to elements that are not part of tables.

Any advice ?

Sam

Sam,

I've been using 7.2 for some time and I have never encountered this issue. Is it all attributes on table rows? Or just certain attributes, certain elements, etc.?

Are you sure the attribute isn't set, and that it isn't just a display refresh problem?

I happens with all types of attributes on table rows. At one point I changed an attribute definition by removing a default value, and it worked. But when I showed it with big enthousiasm to my colleague, it did not work anymore. Great. I start to doubt myself, since something either works, or does not work in software.

Anyway I installed FM7.2 on another machine. And there it works just fine.
Our workflow heavily depends on customized ini files, and the plugins. But I didn't change these yet. No I am going to try to change these step by step and check everytime whether it still works. However, I find it hard to believe it will solve the problem since the changes only involve changes of paths to templates and things like that. How could that possibly affect how the FM UI reacts ?

To be continued - I've got a deadline coming up, so it will be a little while before I return to this post.
