Field Background Colour not saved..

Classic Servoy
1

Today I stumbled several times over the fact that the background colour of a text field was not saved correctly.

  1. I changed the background colour from “XYZ” to LAF default
  2. The designer displays it fine
  3. Quit and relaunched the app
  4. Colour was reverted to “XYZ”

Do you use a style on that form?

If so, the style will be applied, after a restart!

Yes.. sorry did not know that..

This seems to be very unintuitive and has caused me some grief and extra work. If I apply a style to a form, and then have a need to adjust the style for an existing element in the form (say one particular field), that change should stick.

Can the current behavior be changed to the following?

  1. If a new style is applied to an existing form, all existing elements acquire the new style.

  2. Any new element placed on a form acquires the current style for the form.

  3. Any existing element on a form that has its style modified retains the modification unless a new style (or a refresh of the old style) is subsequently “reapplied” to the entire form.
