Reference Fields that have false dependency results in bug with reference field


308 Views Last updated : Apr 7, 2024 public Copy Permalink
KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Symptoms

No results are shown when you click on the search icon for reference field on a table. The dictionary record for the reference field is "dependent" on a nonexistent field.

Release

All Release

Cause

Reference fields which have dependency on nonexistent values will result in a blank list. 

Resolution

  1. Go to the dictionary entry list for the reference field which is affected
  2. Configure list layout and add in the fields "dependent" & "dependent on field", save
  3. Notice that there is a value in the dependent field and delete the value (If this dictionary entry is in fact dependent on another field, make sure you have the correct field value).
  4. Test that the reference fields qualifiers now work.
