I had code for creating a dialog with dialog field of type 'str' in a custom class in AX2012. It worked fine in AX 2012, after upgrading the code to update3(AX 7) the same code gave an exception at DialogField's init method . No enum value in 'Types' matching 'str' is found.

The code used was dialogField1 = dialog.addField(identifierStr(str), "@AVA108");

As mentioned above it worked fine in AX 2012 so i have created a job using DialogField's init method from which this exception was thrown, it gave String as output in AX2012.

Types baseType;

identifierName typeName;

typeName = identifierStr(str);

baseType = str2enum(baseType, typeName);

info(enum2Value(baseType));

I have resolved this by using an extended type instead of primitive type. But i would like to know why this exception has been thrown.

Thanks in advance.

You don't use the addField() according to its contract. It expects a name of an EDT or an enum, not a primitive type. Use an EDT appropriate for the dialog field, such as addField(extendedTypeStr(ItemId), "@AVA108").

Hi Martin,

Yes. I have used an EDT in current version. I just wanted to know if it excepts name of an EDT it should have thrown exception in AX 2012 as well.
