Have a funny thing going on here. I've created 4 datatypes based on the default dropdown datatype in 4.7.1. I want to use this as a prevalue source in Contour.
When I save my form the pre-values for one of my Prevalue Sources are all removed. It's always the same one, the one with times (08:00 to 20:00).
We'll check the issue, I might have a workaround if you are only interested in listing the prevalues and not editing them from the contour form designer. A read only variant of the prevalue source, let me know if that can fix it for you and I'll dig it up
That's what I'm doing just now. I've made a new datatype in the developers section and I'm using it as a pre-value source in Contour, unless you mean something different?
There's definitely a bug in there somewhere but instead of using the pre-value source, I think I'll take my pre-values from the content tree. Thinking about this further I think that'll actually be better for what I need.
Yup it's a bug wich will be fixed in the next maintenance release, yup by using the content tree your content editor will be able to update the values in a central place
Contour save removes datatype prevalues
Hello,
Have a funny thing going on here. I've created 4 datatypes based on the default dropdown datatype in 4.7.1. I want to use this as a prevalue source in Contour.
When I save my form the pre-values for one of my Prevalue Sources are all removed. It's always the same one, the one with times (08:00 to 20:00).
Here is a video to prove I'm not mad :)

I've tried setting the datatype to nvarchar and ntext but the same thing happens.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Greg.

Hi Tim,
I need to be able to edit the values somewhere in the backoffice, not necessarily through Contour. Will your workaround allow me to do this?
Cheers,
Greg.
Sure, you will still be able to edit them in the datatypes part of the developers section

Hey, does anyone have a clue what's going on here or can you think of a workaround that means I won't be duplicating dropdownlist across many forms?
Cheers,
Greg.
Ok, here is a custom prevalue source type: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14228187/Contour.PrevalueSource.DataTypeReadOnly.dll.zip
Simply extract and then place it in your bin folder, you should now be able to create a new prevalue source using that type.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your help.
