Hello,
since a recent update (I missed about 2 months worth of updates and did them all at once, so I can’t say which it was) we have a very frequent problem with links that lead to form applications opening in another window.
The configuration:
- Grid Application has button with link to a form to create a new entry
- Link is configured to close on insert
When running this grid, I take these steps to produce the error:
- Click on button
–> Form appears correctly in a new window - Fill in Form and click “Insert”
–> Most of the time: The window containing the form goes blank, but remains open. The grid is not updated, however the entry was made (it will show up after refreshing the grid).
–> Sometimes: The form remains but is reset, waiting for another entry. The grid is not updated, however the entry was made (it will show up after refreshing the grid).
–> Rarely: The window closes and the grid is updated to represent the change made.
Changing the settings in the links and rebuilding the application(s) does not affect this behavior.
The exact same happens with linked fields.
Conditions this bug was observed under:
- Editing Browser: Firefox Developer Edition 47.0a2
- Hosting System: Ubuntu x64 (Latest LTS release)
- WebServer: Apache (Unknown release)
- PHP: 5.6 (Unknown subversion)
- SC: 8.1 (Latest Update as of post)
Cheers
Edit:
Starting the following week, this phenomenon was no longer reproducible. Either it was a post-update effect or due to heavy system load at the time (which there was). I’ll get back with more information if it recurs.
