Value is not loaded in some dynamic select fields

SA-8644

Summary

Error Messages



Not Applicable.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a layout with two rows.
  2. In first row, configure a cascading dynamic select control.
  3. In the second row, configure only one dynamic select control.

Root Cause



The problem is due to the way the dynamic selects are configured.
The dynamic select control configured in second row, does not have any child dynamic select to load.
However, it has a 'TargetID' specified and it points to the child dynamic select present in the first row.



This causes the child dynamic select to be loaded twice, when work object is opened in Edit mode. During first load, it gets the correct value.
However, the subsequent load causes it to load with different value.



Resolution



The issue is resolved after removing the 'TargetID' field that is specified in the dynamic select of second row.
