Text field only shows first character

[willieb]

Hi,

Can someone please assist with the following.  I have a wizard generated update and a text field is displaying only the first character saved on the record.  I tried by re-creating another update window.  I deleted the field and manually created another.  I also changed the text field to a string.  All just gave me the first char of what is currently saved in the field.

I did get this once a while back ... cannot remember what I did to get this fixed.

Thanks

Try closing the app and delete the app.state.xml file. That usually fixes this situation when it happens to me.

Thank you Peter, it's once again displaying all the data!

Glad it worked!

Maybe Bruce can tell us what's going on when that happens. There doesn't seem to be any pattern and I have absolutely no idea about what causes it. Except that something maybe gets saved wrongly.

That is a good idea, like I said earlier I did get the same issue previously just could not remember what I did to fix it.

Just a note to Bruce for when he starts digging into this bug ... I created a very small (2 tables) app from scratch using the wizard this morning and the bug was there from the start.

Hi Bruce,

See attached:

...state.xml_Bug - the file I deleted to see all chars.
...state.xml_Working - file currently working - well, just delete the current state file to create a new working file.

With app and dct.

Thank You
