When in dataprovider I set in the dialog the column properties to autoenter value “modification username” and I press OK, in the main table the field properties contein “modification userid” instead…
Only at me? Very strange…
Is the field an integer or text?
text field
Which version are you using?
In 3.x modification username has been changed into
modification user uid.
user uid is more flexible since this allows you to use it as a left key in a relation to your own tables/ external security systems.
You can set the user uid (in the repository) with:
security.setUserUID(userUID, new_userUID)
Theoretically you could set the user uid with the username,
but I suppose it’s better to set it with the pk of eg. a contacts table.
yes I use the version 3.1.3
I understand perfectly the user of the UID but I don’t understand the truncation of the userName autoenter property.
However I think it can create ambiguos situation, if you decide to adopt this policy maybe is better remove this property from the combo…
if the type of the field is TEXT yes, in the combo appear also modification username. Then I post the screenshow if you want…
ok , got it. Just tested and didn’t notice anything strange.
btw:
what do you mean with main table?
in the main table the field properties contein “modification userid” instead…
I noticed a discrepancy between the auto-enter value for modifier and modifier_displayname and the properties displayed in the Properties column in the fieldlist.
See attachment.
A bug?
