Unknown Identifier Error when Window name changed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

I renamed a window in Dexterity that is referenced by other forms that are associated with the main window. I then changed the name in these sub windows to reference the new name. However every time I compile the sub window I get the error Unknown Identifier, followed by the name of the window.

I used the Names selector too, to make sure I got the right spelling. The name shows up there, but it still won't compile even copying it from there.

What am I missing? Is there a solution other than replacing the original name of the window or creating a new sub form with the changed window reference?

    Hi Erick

    Is this a window that you created?  If so, you just need to make sure that all references to window names you have changed in the scripts are updated to the new name.

    FYI: You cannot change the names for core Dynamics windows.
