V7: % distribution on a column causing alignment issue

himanshu

Hi Support team,

While using % distribution on a column within a form, the additional icons for 'Attribute description' i.e., '?' and 'Generate Add New button' i.e., '+' gets pushed to the next row. For example, within a column if i split the available space between label and field as 40:60 and if i also mention attribute description for an attribute, then '?' icon is pushed to the next row instead of staying right of the field.

We are not able to progress on a specific client requirement where label/field/attribute description have to be set up in a single row using % distribution on all forms.

I have also seen this and I even saw at times that the questionmark icon disapperead (i.e. it wasn´t shown on the next row at all). I think maybe this with the icons disappearing was when using the "Column width less" option.

The problem with the % distribution should be fixed in build 2162

Thanks team for your quick resolution. We appreciate it. The issue is fixed and working as expected. Now the pop up '?' icon is appearing right next to the field.

We have further found 2 additional issues with %.

#1) Same scenario that we mentioned in defect – This time attribute description is set to be displayed right to the input control and not as a pop up. Result is, attribute description is moving down to the next line even if there is a single character like ‘m’ mentioned in there.
#2) In version 6, there was Anchor option in % but not in version 7. Without anchor option, the attribute label belonging to second column gets displayed right next to attribute field belonging to first column. We have to add a new column to create gap between them.

Attaching screenshot for both issues.

#2) In version 6, there was Anchor option in % but not in version 7.

It IS available by the way. It is called "Entire column width less.."

Thanks team for your response. Please let us know about Issue #1 mentioned in my earlier post where attribute description is set to be displayed to the right of input control and it is moving to the next line/row.

This will remain a limitation. Please do not use "description on the right" together with the percentage layout.
