A bug in Advanced Search ?

Question

Hi,
In my requirement, I have an EO-based view object which is the view instance of an advanced table, and I provide two submitButtons, 'save button' and 'reset button' on the table which is used to do commit and rollback respectively for the data update.
When user click on 'reset button', getOADBTransaction().rollback() statement in the AM will be executed , then a strange thing happens, the "Add Another" poplist in the advanced search panel will become blank.
Hence I'm wondering transaction.rollback() will cause clearing the VO in the 'Add Another' poplist?
Do I have another way to roll back the change and meanwhile the poplist would not be cleared?
Please help.
Regards,
MZ

Navid,
JHeadstart checks whether the attribute definition is queryable before adding it to the list of advanced search attributes. A transient VO attribute can still be set to queryable, for a transient EO attribute this is not possible. We will remove this check on queryability in the upcoming patch release, since you have a valid use case. For now, you can subclass JhsSearchBean and override method createArgumentListForAdvancedSearch and comment out the check for "def.isQueryable()".
