Listbox values being deleted in form when listbox properties not set to "value list"
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:42:48 UTC
When you have a list box in a form and you enter the list entries manually while the list entry type is set to SQL (without any SQL sequence typed in) you lose the manually entered list entries after leaving the form edit mode and reopening the form edit mode. This behaviour doesn't happen when you set the option "Value list" instead of "SQL". Although this behaviour is contrary to the behaviour of combo boxes (there you don't have the "value list" option and you can leave the SQL option without anything happening as long as you don't type in a SQL procedure) this wouldn't be such a big issue, but what irritates is that beside the loss of the manually entered list box entries after leaving the form edit mode the second time, you don't see the database column entries of this list box field anymore when browsing between the datasets (I use HSQLDB attached to the form via SQL in the form options). This seems to me to be a bug. Best regards Helge Kraak
sad but true - but rather an enhancement, so send further to requirements@openoffice.org
