Data type created report definition with Column Name and * field
SA-62306
Summary
When creating any data type, a class, a report definition, and two data pages are created.
The report definition is created with column Name fields and a '*' field. This causes, a Medium Type guardrail warning to display.
The number of fields with '*' is equivalent to the number of keys of the table or class.
For example, on creating a data type with three key fields, the report definition is created with three * fields. This results in three medium guardrail warnings.
Error Messages
Guardrail warning: Cannot create field value for this field.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a data type with two key fields.
- Open the report definition using the Data Table Editor.
Root Cause
UI fields are generated in the pzSetUpRecordEditorRD data transform where the asterisk (*) is appended when the fields are marked as the Primary key. Therefore, Guardrail warnings increase when a report definition is generated.
Resolution
- Apply HFix-46203.
- Manually change existing report definitions that are already generated with guardrail warnings.
