Description trowelandmattock 2020-04-18 15:38:04 UTC
In a form with sub-forms (and sub-sub-forms) cascading through one table (ie to select sub-sets of that table)& where hierarchy relationships have been edited by cut/paste of sub-form/sub-sub-form >>
>>> the master-slave link names of a sub-form is unchanged in properties, but do not seem to be applied until the those link fields are manually edited (ie with the same data) again. ....


This is a problem because it is not transparent and no obvious to troubleshoot.
(e.g. "why after making some relationship edits my form/sub-forms do some sub-form master-slave links not work, even though I HAVE NOT CHANGED DATA IN THE MASTER_LINK PROPERTY ??")

It would be better (for example) that the master-slave link was voided/made empty, rather retaining apparent data that is not actually being applied ... that way a user would know to remake that slave-master link.

@trowelandmattock :

Sorry, but without a detailed step-by-step reproducible example using a sample DB, and instructions on how to reproduce, we don't know how you've set up the forms that are giving you trouble.

I dont seem to have this issue anymore - i cant reproduce :/. I think maybe it was after a new install of upgraded LO, using a preexisting complicated form with some macros + some ignorance from me.

This bug can probably be removed - sorry :)
