Hi ,
I have a job which opens up a dialog to collect user values for 3 fields.
I am facing 2 issues with it
1>As soon as the user enter value for field 1 & press enter it closes the dialog.
How to ensure that pressing enter does not close the dialog & how to ensure that user has entered value for all 3 fields.
2>After entering all 3 values and pressing ok the dialog box closes.
How to ensure that dialog clear up teh values & remain open for user to enter next set of records.
Hi Mav,
Before the select forupdate statement, you can check if all dialog values have been provided. If not, you can raise an error and stop processing. As mentioned above, using other options, you can achieve dialog form validation before the user clicks on OK.
Also note that if you have sub-projects, then this job can cause data issues as it is not updating sub-projects or checking for consistency.
Hi ,
Sure here is the code for my dialog.

Hi Mav,
Can you share how you created the job with the dialog? You can add a validation after the dialog closes in the job. If you need more control, you have to create a class for this where you can better control the dialog behavior; eventually with a form as dialog.
