Smartlist Designer - cannot "discard changes"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Lyn Barr

Am I dreaming, or did I just have to delete my beautiful new "Payables Apply Info" list because I was unable to exit without saving changes?!  Ack, seriously?

I had a nice, new list I was using during a training session, and I was demonstrating how to add additional tables, remove fields, add other fields, create relationships, etc.  When I was done, my intention was merely to close without saving, but it was at that point that I realized this wasn't an option!

My only choices were to save the changes I had made, or to delete the list.

Is this a bug?  (I would call it a bug!)  Or was that all a bad dream, and I overlooked something obvious?  :-)

PS, I'm on GP2013 R2.

    By the way, I really like your blog - your HITB Essentials Series really helped me out a few months ago.  Thanks for all your great posts!

    I must admit as well that I have always encountered such weird things during the training sessions, most of the times the system act abnormally

    It is the panic attack ;)

    You're 100% correct, Mahmoud, thank you!  I think I must have panicked during the training session.   At the time, I was focused only on the "Ok" and the "Delete" buttons in the icon bar.  

    Silly me, it didn't even occur to me to simply close the window.  Once I did that, I was, as expected, prompted with the typical Save-Discard-Cancel options.

    Thanks again!

    I have never seen such an option to delete the existing smart list created through smart list designer, that actually applies to both GP 2013 SP2 and R2.

    I have just tested on both versions and it works as expected. Once you get done with the modification on a certain smart list, the system will pop up a message to either save or discard. See below;

    Can you recall the steps you have followed to get a message of either saving or deleting the smart list ? It could be a specific pattern which leads to such result.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
