Extended Text (279 & 280) with Rapid Start - Problem with Text Number

(0) Share

Posted on by mckee

Hello

We try to import new "Extended Text" entries with Rapid Start.

For testing, we de-selected all optional fields for the Excel Export, so we only work with the primary keys.

Import Extended Text Header (Table 279).
Import Extended Text Line (Table 280).

Problem: Step 2 fails, because in Step 1 Navision ignores the "Text Number" Value which is needed to connect the header entry with the line entry. All values are imported as we set them in the Excel except the "Text Number".

It seems NAV creates a new text number automatically. For this, it takes the [last number for the same combination of primary keys] +1.

This would make it very hard for mass updates in these tables, as one would have to import headers first and then read the complete table and find the headers with no corresponding line just to get the needed "Text Number".

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm not sure if the following will solve your problem, but I think you can try.

1. Set the Parent Table ID for Extended Text Line.

2. Set Text No. to 1.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.

Thank you, it already helps to nail it down a bit.

When I try to import it like you demonstrated, it generates an error that the line can't be generated, because it doesn't find a matching header entry.

So it's either a setting withing Rapidstart or a configuration setting in Easy Security.

I will investigate further with the ICT Departement.

mckee,

Have you tried you Config Package import using a Cronus play database? The reason I ask is using CRONUS is base NAV and therefore no customization or nothing restricting, except a permission, maybe. Try doing it here. You should not have an issue as I tried in NAV without error.

If you get no error, then I would check Easy Security to see if something is restricting you.

Thanks,

Steve
