I have a simple combo box with a list of entries. To add a new entry, I thought you just added an item to the lists.

 

List (shortened because it’s my full customer list):

[PXDBString(50)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Customer")]
[PXStringList(
new string[] { "", "MCU"}, 
new string[] { "", "MULTIPLE CUST."})]

 

I update it to:

[PXDBString(50)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Customer")]
[PXStringList(
new string[] { "", "MCU", ”NXT”}, 
new string[] { "", "MULTIPLE CUST.", ”NEXT CUSTOMER”})]

 

I publish and nothing changes. To make this a bit weirder, I can also adjust the user-visible text in the list, publish, and nothing will change like shown below.

Example:

[PXDBString(50)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Customer")]
[PXStringList(
new string[] { "", "MCU"}, 
new string[] { "", "Some New Crazy Text"})]

 

Is this a 24 R1 bug, is there a new method for updating combo boxes in 24 R1, or am I just missing something here?

It was indeed an issue with a customization. We had to have our VAR review the packages and push updates on them so we could make the changes we needed.

@Michaelh Is this a custom screen or custom field on an existing screen? anything controlled by workflow, maybe?

you tried Cache attached?

This is a customization Project.

The field is on the Sales Order Header SO301000

There is a workflow that makes it ONLY appear on Sales Orders of type TR (using the HIDDEN condition)

ALL FIELDS ARE ACTIVE in the workflow. If I publish with the new field value, it does not appear in the drop-down list in the Workflow editor. Same with changing the user-visible description, no changes shown in the Workflow descriptions.

What is Cache Attached? I ran Publish and Publish with Cleanup.

I have seen combo box values controlled by workflow engine sometimes

In this case every combo option is selected and when I update the field, the workflow engine does not see the new combo option in the list either.

Sadly no, the project is massive and has everything from custom fields, to workflow automations embedded in it. I’m going to send this to a VAR to get a 2nd set of eyes. I will report back how we resolve it though. I’m probably missing a checkbox somewhere. I swear it’s ALWAYS a rogue checkbox in this system lol.

Thank you for the sanity check everyone!
