Non-Existent Field Appearing in Smart Client?

Hi Folks - I suspect this is to some degree connected with conflicts I had in the past (and some duplicate elements) and I thought resolved!

I have a field that displays the contents of a global, and I thought it was deleted some time ago. It does not show up in developer smart client, but does in Web Client from Developer and Smart client running from the server (ie not developer).

I’ve synced and committed the solution twice now, and though in other respects it looks exactly the same as the developer version now - there is this one field. Checking Navigator I can find nothing regarding this field, but I do have 3 items in that form with this type of UUID: sv_3d11082b_db8b_4fbc_806f_184175229314.obj and no other describing data.

Obviously I cant identify what these are, and I’m loath to delete them in case they are some other aspect of the form that I don’t want to loose. And, since this only shows up once the solution has been committed - I’ll have no way back other than re-import a saved solution.

Q. Can I discover what this UUID relates to?
Q. How else might I get rid of this field?

Open the form in form editor and have a look at the Outline pane, it list all the elements on the form and if you click one it will select it in the form, it should be easy to find your “invisible” field and delete it.

Nope, it doesn’t appear there Nicola - all the entries in the outline pane are correct - and of course the errant field is not visible in design view either.

I tried doing a search using the UUID that I found but search came up blank, not sure exactly what I should be searching however so I may have missed the correct search setting to find it.

Not sure how or why - but after another round of sync and commit this field seems to have stopped displaying.

Like it when a problem is resolved but hate it when I don’t know why it was so!

Till the next time :? :wink:

Just pretend it never happened ;)
