Bookmarks not working properly

Ed1 — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 08:06:25 GMT

Hi,

I created a new QV-document. Saved bookmarks cannot be used because they give the wrong result back.

E.g. If you have a saved a bookmark where 4 countries are selected in a listbox, then maybe 2 of those contries will appear once the bookmark is used.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct the problem?

Thanks,

Edin

May be Bookmark effect due to other selections which ID may not associate to other 2 countries?

If a user starts with cleared selections, and then selects e.g. 4 selectable countries in a listbox, and saves the bookmark. The result/selection will not be the same when the same user applies the bookmark later. It will perhaps select 2 of those countries.

The problem seems to be specific for this particular app. The other apps have properly functioning bookmarks.

Is there any triggers for FieldEventTriggers in your application?

Yes, several triggers. Might that be the cause of the problem and is there a workaround?

We have Set Clear State but that option won't help to get rid to work remain filters. So, I would think little other information. But, Is that problem from Dev or Server?

I discovered what was creating the problem. I had a listbox (hidden) and a related button that was supposed keep 2 out of 3 field selections always selected. That logic didn't work once the bookmark was applied.

I made some changes and it works now.

Thank you for your help!
