TS 6.7.1: Dropdowns not showing up dynamically on a DCT

We are in the process of upgrading from TS 6.1 to TS 6.7. Some of our templates use interrelated drop down selections which are made visible through javascript dynamically.
This functionality is working fine in TS 6.1. When we ported these templates to 6.7, we observed that the dropdown lists that are made visible on certain user actions are not getting displayed. The action (OnChange event in most cases) makes a callserver call to get the data to populate the controls to be displayed. Ve verified that the callserver calls go through fine and appropriate data is fetched to the client browser and the controll is populating. The setvisible method however fails. The DCTs are spread over 2 pages, if you move to the next page and then come back, the controlls being made visible are now visible

I wonder if anyone else has seen this behavior. And I appreciate any inputs in this regard.

Thanks much in advance,

Hmmm, I am doing this on 6.5 without any trouble. I have upgraded to 6.7 on a test box but do not have the callservers working yet (no time to make some system required changes).

On 6.7.1 I am using formapi to dynamically generate other menus without any issues. I will start working with my callservers & see if I can reproduce.

You may want to trim your code down to a simple example and post it to see if others see the same issue.

Also, what OS ?

FYI, I set my callserver code on DOS TS 6.7.1 and the call server is working properly. My code had a DB2 call so I had to hack it not to call DB2, just fill in some answer, which worked fine.

Can you expand a bit on the description / context (including TS versions) of this bug?

If you click the "Collapse All Items" link, then click "Expand All Items" link at the top of the DCT do the fields act as expected?

Some backgound into the issue we are experiencing...

We are seeing some confusing behavior with the FormAPI OnReplicantAdded event and the setVisible method. The basic scenario is that we have a radio button item that hides and unhides another item. This code works fine with the onItemChange change event, but when used with OnReplicantAdded the value never becomes unhidden when a new replicant is added.

However, when "Collapse All Items" is clicked then "Expand All Items" is clicked, the hidden item that didn't show up before, shows up when expected. We are currently using this as a workaround. This is bug 69641.

We have come across the above behavior as well. However, in the original scenario it doesn't help. We still need to navigate to the 2nd page and come back. By the way, the same behavior is reported with SetReadOnly as well.
