MBPM 9.1 - columns in business objects have been re-ordered to alphabetical Urggghhhhh!

It appears that when you view form business objects in v9.1 they are now ordered alphabetically whereas previously they were ordered in column order.

 

So now when coding which column you want (User.Input[x]) you now have to keep switching back to te BO definition or have some other reference to the ordering.  Previously you could see the code window and the real column ordering of business objects.

 

It seems to me that this has introduced a whole new layer of inefficiency and coding will likely be more error prone.:smileysad:

    Paul. in which situation this appear? If you write select * from? Or always, even you write columns in select statement explicity? ProcesContext.UserInput shoud be made based on name column instead of number. Could we have such enhencement?

    Paul is referring to the field order in the Data Access panel. I agree, it was a really painful thing. Not easy to see how it became broken after all this time, but it is fixed again, at least in 9.1.2.1.

    Not tried this in the latest version but if it is fixed that's great news.
