Variables Lost When Dataset Name Changed

The information in this article applies to product: e-Work 5.x 6.x

Issue

• When the name of a dataset is changed, the form fields using the dataset lose their associated variables.

  For example, a text field and a datetime field are populated by Dataset1. The variable for the text field is column1 and the variable for the datetime field is column 2. Now the name of the dataset is changed to Dataset2. The 2 form fields will reflect the change and will show the dataset as Dataset2. However, the variable fields will be blank.

Resolution

• This is a known issue.

  If a dataset field is renamed, each form field using the dataset must have its associated variable manually added back.
