Posted on by TU1506 147
Hello Team,
While entering information in Dimension TAB in all forms like (General Journal etc) in Tier1 environments getting error "Unable to cast object of type 'Dynamics.AX.Application.FormBuildIntControl' to type 'Dynamics.AX.Application.FormBuildStringControl'.". This error is coming from Standard Code from init() method of DimensionLookup Form code. There is no customization done.
Facing this issue only in Tier1 environments, Tier 2 & production working fine.
Attached screen shots for the error & error code.
 
Pl. advice !!!

    Hi TU1506,
     
    Start by checking if your Tier-1 environment is on the same version as the Tier-2 and production environment.

    It seems that dimAttrViewContract() returns an ID of an integer field, but a string field is expected. The value should indeed be a string.
     
    My next step would be finding which table and field it's about; it'll likely lead you to the cause. I suspect a wrongly implemented custom dimension (despite you saying that there are no customization).
