Rename an Object called "Main"

Post by UnionSystems »

Using the AwareIM configuration tool 8.1 build 2475 we accidentally renamed an Object "Main".

When we renamed the object to its original value say "SomeOtherName" the configuration tool changed all the Form name and Form section names from "Main" to "SomeOtherName". This erroneous referencing was caught by the BSV integrity checker but the only solution we found was to manually correct all those references. The reference errors were all in Grid widgets both "Operations with records" and "Panel Operations".

So I think there may be a bug when you rename an object in AwareIM if the new object name matches the name of forms or form sections. I think this has happened to me a few times before. But when "Main" is involved in the rename its effect is fairly widespread because default form name and section name for all objects is "Main".

I have just created an object called "Main" and renamed it - everything seems to be OK...
