Hello everyone, 

I am trying to go to the lines of fixed assets journal and started receiving this error, even though this form doesn't have any form parts.
Any advice, please?//

    Error: Part Reference's menu item must point to a Form.
    Hi, we encountered this issue as well and I wanted to share some more information. 
    It happens for us on version 10.0.38 in a sandbox environment. We have multiple sandbox environments, but this issue is only happening in one of them for now. 
    There is a stack trace in the logs which suggests the issue is coming from an attempt to initialize the preview forms that pop up when you hover your mouse over the 2 Financial Tags fields. 
     
    Method registerFinTagPreview in class FinTagReferenceGroupController, the first line that calls referenceGroupControl.previewPartRef(menuItemDisplayStr(FinTagPreviewPart))
    private void registerFinTagPreview()
{
    referenceGroupControl.previewPartRef(menuItemDisplayStr(FinTagPreviewPart));
    FormStringControl stringControl = this.getReferenceGroupStringControl();

    if (stringControl && this.companyReferenceField)
    {
        stringControl.userDataItem(this.companyReferenceField);
    }
}
    Here is the full stack trace

    Error: Part Reference's menu item must point to a Form.
    Dear Waed, 

    I tried all the mentioned, still not working. This error is appearing when trying to open the lines of any type of general ledger journals.

    Dear Layan, when trying to debug, I get a strange behavior, the lines open normally, but when the debugger is off, the lines form won't open showing the mentioned error, can you advise?
     
    Best regards!

    Did you try the below? 
     
    1- Try to restart IIS.
    2- Try to restart you Dev Box. And As Ander mentioned try to debug the code, just open the form code and on the init method , put a break point and start the debugging.
    3- If you click on the Journal number on any line does the same error appear?
     
     
    Thanks

    Hi Community member,
     
    Are you sure you removed all customizations? Is there any customization for the "lines" menu item? Or the form assigned to the menu item?
    Also are you sure you did full build and not just building the project or your model?
     
    Yes please debug and see at what line the code fails, if there is a main method, put the break point there, if there is an init method also put the code there.
     
    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan

    Hi Andre, I am sorry I am a new dev, I am not sure where exactly should I put a breakpoint to use the debugger, can you please advise?

    Have you tried using the debugger to find out where and when it is raising the error? You can then learn what could be the culprit.

    Hi Waed,
     
    Thanks for the reply, but I tried to full build, full db sync and clearing all caches, still never works though.

    Since you delete your extensions of the form, then try to do full be for the model that you tried to do extension on it and try to clear cache.
     
    Path: setting -> user options -> Usage data -> All usage data 
     
    Thanks,

    I did do some customization in an extension class to customize some behaviour in the init method, but I even deleted that form extension class and made a full build, it is still appearing. It is really weird because I don't even have a menu item extension to this form, and it doesn't contain any form parts.
