Question
Mass Update Picklist Blanks out all other picklist fields - 9.5.4
+20
+7Pat,
Sorry for the obvious question, but are any of those picklists dependent (on each other or a different picklist not on the page)? Are the fields that are blanked out after you mass update picklists or multi-picklists (or a combination of both)?
+20Actually. The picklist I’m updating is the Record Type Lookup that’s being rendered as a picklist. I see how that can be a problem here.
Strange though. 2 of the 3 other picklists in the table do blank out, which kinda makes sense. But the third, CurrencyISOCode gets blanked out as well.
+7Ohh, I think I see the issue. To summarize, you changed the record type and it cleared out all the other picklist fields, whether they were dependent on the record type or not?
+20All picklists are dependant of record types. It just shouldn’t clear it if the previous value selected in the picklist is allowed for the records type.
+7Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Are you still having this issue? I’m testing on 9.5.7 and it doesn’t look like it’s clearing values out unnecessarily
+7Pat,
I’m afraid I’ve really let this one drag out, which is my bad. I’ll try to get to the bottom and come to a conclusion this time! Are you still seeing this issue? I’m unfortunately still unable to reproduce on 10.0.2 or 9.5.9. I do have multiple record types, and when I change the record type I can see that where a dependent picklist is a value that is an option for both the old and new record type it does not change (if the value isn’t an option for both it goes to None).
+7Okay, I’ve finally been able to reproduce the problem and can see what you’re seeing. We’ll let you know when this issue is fixed in a future release!
Thanks!
