Duplicate field in General Journal page (Business Central spring 19)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Creating new record (Web client) in Journal page duplicate fields appeared ("Document No.", "Posting Date").

Duplicate field show different value between same field. For example in first "Document No." there are for every record same value. In the second "Document No." field there are different value (this is correct). Same for "Posting date" field.

Deleting the user personalization problem disappears. But after a while it comes back.

Someone can help me?

    This issue has been reported as by Design through the 14.x application.

    When personalizing the General Journal page, in this version, the values in the header Group can be hidden.

    Unfortunately, as the page has been implemented within 14.x, some of these have the same Name as the fields in the repeater. See below an example.

    When hiding the filding in the header group, these fields become available for personalization and have the same header name as the ones in the repeater. 

    Users might accidentally try to select the unbounded header fields (global variables) and place them in the repeater with unpredictable results. 

    This is the root cause of this issue. 

    To resolve it, within this version, you might think of prevent the user to fall back into simple page by

    a. Be sure that you do not have any personalization stored for the user for this page

    b. Change the OnInit trigger to always use the classic page (and not the simplified one) even with the web client

    Worth notice that with version 17.x, this feature has been refactored to cope with show more/less field in the repeater, including the header values already.

    I think so. Since it introduces several changes in the client with CU 17

    Check this out support.microsoft.com/.../cumulative-update-17-for-microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-april

    I have restricted the 2 relevant ones

    ID Title

    365427 Column headers are not aligned correctly when you enable personalization and hide columns in the Web client in a browser that is not maximized.

    370998 When you change the selected row in a list, the page might scroll unexpectedly.

    Hi Duilio,

    I've installed CU15.

    Do you know if this problem is solved in the very latest versions?

    You should deploy latest CU 17 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102135

    Most probably you have a quite oudated platform
