Created a Card Page When I Should Have Created a List Page

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by john.ellis 3,530

Hi:

I'm testing AL code in a sandbox environment.  I made a simple, yet frustrating, mistake.

For the "PageType" code, I should have typed "= List;".  Instead, I typed "=Card;".

I had already published the code, before I realized the mistake.

Afterward, I changed the code to be "PageType = List;".

Unfortunately in Business Central, the page is still a card and not a list.

How do I delete the card page and republish this code, so that a list page is created?

Thanks!

John

    John - Have you tried publishing with "schemaUpdateMode": "ForceSync" .  Only works on Sandbox currently v18

    Hi Samantha73:

    Actually, in the last few moments, I found a way to delete the page.  You simply delete your code in Visual Studio Code and run "AL: Publish without debugging".

    That got me back to square one.  Good.

    But, after going through that experiment, AL still wants to create the List Page as a Card!

    I tried everything.  I even gave the code a new ID number and name.  But, still, when I pull up the page, it's a Card Page instead of a List Page.

    Ugh!!!!  I don't get it.

    Below is my code, in case you have any ideas.  Anything would be appreciated.

    Thanks, for the quick response!

    page 50140 "Date Formula"

    {

       PageType = List;

       ApplicationArea = All;

       UsageCategory = Administration;

       SourceTable = "Date Formula";

       layout

       {

           area(Content)

           {

               group(GroupName)

               {

                   field("Primary Key"; "Primary Key") { ApplicationArea = All; }

                   field("Reference for Date Calculation"; "Reference for Date Calculation") { ApplicationArea = All; }

                   field("Date Formula to Test"; "Date Formula to Test") { ApplicationArea = All; }

                   field("Date Result"; "Date Result") { ApplicationArea = All; }

               }

           }

       }

    }

    Might be a refresh issue or caption ..

    couple of things you can try:

    1.restart everything - not sure on prem or SaaS. publish to new sandbox

    2. Add obvious caption like Caption = 'TEST1 John';

    Hi, It looks like you only revised the page type, but did not add a repeater group.

    A simple Example of a list page:

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.
