Hi,

I got this BP warning:
BPWarningDisplayMethodUpdateUnpredictable: The display method 'test' in form '$testForm' may not update as expected

i'm getting the BP warning on the 2 display methods test() and test1()

[Form]
public class TestForm extends FormRun
{
    ClassTestContract   classTest;
    

    /// <summary>
    /// init
    /// </summary>
    public void init()
    {
        classAContract classA;

        super();

        classA = element.args().parmobject() as classAContract;

        classTest = classA.parmClassTestContract();
    }

    public display boolean test()
    {
      return classTest.parmX().parmY()? true : false;
    }

    public display boolean test1()
    {
        return classTest.parmZ().parmY();
    }

}

How to fix it?

BPWarningDisplayMethodUpdateUnpredictable: The display method in Form may not update as expected

The warning tells you that you may expect display values being updated when parmX(), parmY() or parmZ() starts returning a different value, but it won't happen, because you haven't implemented such a logic. The values will be obtained just once. The system can't say whether it's the behaviour you want or not.

Hi Andre,

do you mean to set the value of the unbound control in the init method of the form??

and normally if there is a display method, then it should be put in the form datasource instead of form?

Hi,

You get this warning in case the display methods are created on the form instead of a form data source. In case the information is retrieved only once when opening the form, you can better use unbound controls and fill the values by setting a value for these controls.
