DialogField bound with parm method of RefRecId type, but a Int64 control is build.

Hi Experts,

I am facing a strange issue with DialogField.

The following method is in contract class

public DWFS_FilmFabricCountryOrigRecId parmFabricCountryOrig(DWFS_FilmFabricCountryOrigRecId _fabricCountryOrig = fabricCountryOrig)
{
fabricCountryOrig = _fabricCountryOrig;

return fabricCountryOrig;
}

The EDT DWFS_FilmFabricCountryOrigRecId is extends RefRecId, and the Reference Table is set. I am sure that the settings are correct because when I drag this EDT to table, relation will be added automatically.

However, when a DialogField is bound with this method in UIBuilder class, a FormInt64Control is generated instead of a FormReferenceControl.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks.

I have not investigated this and I have not faced this before so I don't have an answer to your question about why the system is not adding the ref. group control automatically. However, I have some suggestions as a work around. Perhaps you can override a method your UIBuilder class to manually add this field or create a custom form as your dialog.

I got a bit curious and had a play. If the reference group is generated with you add the field to a table, then it should work.

Is this what you are seeing?

Is the dialog also broken? I.e. can you see the reference group.

My best guess is that it's either a cache issue, or a full compilation of the model is needed.

These are my example classes:

[
DataContract,
SysOperationContractProcessing(classStr(TestServiceUIBuilder))
]
internal final class TestServiceContract
{
InventPackagingUnitRefRecId packUnitRefRecId;

[DataMember]
public InventPackagingUnitRefRecId parmPackUnit(InventPackagingUnitRefRecId _packUnitRefRecId = packUnitRefRecId)
{
packUnitRefRecId = _packUnitRefRecId;
return packUnitRefRecId;
}
}

internal final class TestServiceUIBuilder extends SysOperationAutomaticUIBuilder
{
private DialogField packUnitField;

public void postBuild()
{
super();

// Get reference to packUnitField dialog field
packUnitField = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(), methodStr(TestServiceContract, parmPackUnit));

FormBuildReferenceGroupControl ctrl = packUnitField.control();
}
}
