  • 1.  Editing Static Variable -- Unexpected Result

    Posted Aug 09, 2018 05:03 PM

    Running version 11.2.7.HF1.  User is manually editing a static variable with multiple lines via GUI.

     

    In row 1 there is a Key = 'FakeFile' and Value 1 = 'MSCI_NOWAYJOSE' .

    in row 2 there is a key  = 'RealFile and Value 1 = RealData'

     

    In the first row delete the text 'FakeFile and then tab and delete the text MSCI_NOWAYJOSE  AND KEEP THE CURSOR in the 'Value 1' field  then hit save

     

    Once this row (Key = FakeFile and Value 1 = MSCI_NOWAYJOSE) is deleted the row directly below row 1 loses the value stored in column Value 1 which should still be RealData

     

    I've never seen this happen before.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi TimothyYanosko604352 ,

     

    I just reproduced your behavior on my test system. I will be making a case for this behavior.

    Hi TimothyYanosko604352 ,

     

    As a workaround click the 'Tab' key on the keyboard to jump to the next column and then save the variable. This prevents deleting the other value too.

     

    Cheers,
