Posted on by Community Member

Hello all, I am a newbie to Microsoft AX development. My scenario is that I have a form with multiple fields. There is a specific field "Vehicle Data" , when I modified or enter some data here the data I entered on all the previous fields seems to be disappeared except for 2 or 3 fields. My field is bind to my datasource and there is nothing written in the modified method of the field. I am unable to find any property that could be set  to resolve the issue . Any help or guidance plz

    Please share more details such as screenshots of your form design, form data sources, the settings of this field, as well as table browser contents for this table.

    Also please describe which fields get cleared, and share the settings (especially data source, data field) of these fields as well.

    Thanks for Reply. Its just a simple String Edit type field bind to a datasource. When I try to modify this field it disappears data on some of the fields like The other field is a integer field which reserves its values. Date and real data type fields do not reserves the values. The properties seems to be same for all.

    Please share the properties.

    Also please check following methods in the underlying table: modifiedField, insert and update. Is there any specific logic?

    This thing is also happening when form is closed via "Close" button at bottom . Do I have to override the close button?

    there is a method in table, which sets the value. thanks for that. But close button on the bottom does not save anything. hence it refreshes some of the data

    The standard behavior of the system is that closing a form also saves the data.

    I think its saving on the close button but its doing on init() of form which is making the data disappear but im unable to find

    The init method of the form is called only when the form is opened. If it's called at some other point, you have some kind of bad customization. And that can definetely cause some strange behavior.

    May be the data is saved on close and doing something (although only at the form opening) which cause the data to be deleted
