Continuum API not working correctly with GP 2013 on GetDataValue call

Posted on by Community Member

I have been using the Continuum API with various versions of GP (2010, 2013, and 2015) to get data values from fields. I have been getting the values with the GetDataValue method and up till now it's been working great. Now there is a customer who wants to get the '(L) MasterNumberDisplay' of window 'SOP_Entry' of form 'SOP_Entry'  field but the only thing that is being returned is <<< Cannot evaluate expression >>> . Data is being retrieved from other fields on the form just fine and this is the only one that the API isn't working with. 

If anybody knows why this is happening or how to fix it I would greatly appreciate the insight.

    Do I only need to re-add the field from the toolbox or do I need to create it again new in the toolbox also?

    Ok, to get for a field on a window, that data needs to be stored somewhere in a table at the system or company database level. What happens if you re-add the field to the window? If your Continuum code was working, adding the field should allow it to work again.

    It is highly likely that it was added with Modifier. Is there a way to get data from fields that have been added with Modifier? I am also open to using sanScript as a solution if that will produce better results, but I don't know how to get a value from a field using sanScript.

    Alas, that local field does not exist on the standard SOP_Entry window. Chances are this was probably added with Modifier at some point?
