Problems locking field after reload

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello All,

I have just upgraded from v8.5 to v11 and since then have been having problems with locked fields. Previously the document was saved to the server with a locked field and the field remained locked through reloads. I understand that in the latest versions Publisher opens the document without loading the data and begins the refresh from an empty document, which is why the lock is being lost I suspect.

I though that the solution would be triggers. I have added 2 triggers to the post reload action. The first selects the required value and the second locks the field. However, it seems that these arent actually doing anything post reload. Should I be trying something different?

Thanks in advance.

Ah..I see from page 890 of the reference manual that PostReload doesnt work in QV Server. Should the Open variant work, does anyone know?

Hi, you can use onOpen, or depending on your application, you can use a onActivate (sheet) trigger
