Well is there any help actually available for it? If so, what are the help IDs? I believe this is intentional. We are reducing the amount of help for things that are generally obvious. CC'ing John, who owns this area, just to make sure. Expect a response in about a week when he gets back from vacation. Yes, for all Java objects, Ant scripts, etc, the help has been removed. I believe web apps objects still have help. Ok, why we don't remove Help button from wizard then ? Didn't know it was possible for the New wizard. But if some file templates have help and others don't, it's a matter of which is worse - the Help button being disabled much of the time, or the Help button appearing and disappearing depending on which template is selected. Question for HIEs, I guess. ccing HIEs I think it's fine to have Help button disbaled (if no help exists) or enabled (if help exists) , more better than hide/show Help button. So close this one as fixed please ;) If there is a help associated at least with one wizard step then show the Help button even in wizard steps without an associated help to avoid jumping of buttons when moving between wizard steps. Resolving as INVALID, then, since the Help button works as it is supposed to. John is right ... verified |
