Custom fields with the same name in Project Online

Today I discovered something interesting when creating custom fields in Project Online.
I usually create a certain set of custom fields that are useful to have on both the project and the task level. An example of these is Reportable, which I use to determine which tasks to roll up into reports and also which projects overall to report on.
So I created a project level custom field called Reportable. No problem.
I then created a custom field on the task level called Reportable. And the computer said no!
I then learned that although you could do this in Project Server 2013, you can't in Project Online. You can't have duplicate custom field names, even if they are of different types.
This has led me to use a naming standard, such as Reportable Task and Reportable Project. But I really don't like that as codes are for computers, not us humans. So I hope this changes in the future, but for now you just need to think about how you approach
the fields.
Good luck!

Hi Ryan,
I would follow Ben on this..
Just made a test on a Project 2013 instance on-premise and I cannot create a task ECF and a project ECF with the same name. The same test on a Online instance returns the same result: the ECF names must be unique whatever the entity is.
Waiting for Ben's confirmation.
Hope this helps,

Please use meaningfull subject titles

Hi Ripel,
When you are assinging a file if it has field names in first row then select "Field names at Start of file", if not names then uncheck the box at "File Structure".
If fields are using, then check the tabulator in file and Uncheck the "Field order matches Source structure Definition."

Hiding Fields with the same name

I have multiple fields across a form with the same name
TxtName#1
TxtName#2
TxtName#3..... TxtName#24
They are all share the same name because they should all have the same data.
I want to be able to hide some of these fields, based on the number entered in another field TxtQty.
for example if TxtQty=2 then
TxtName#3-TxtName#24 will be hidden and only TxtName#1 and TxtName#2 will be visible.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks!

The easiest way is to rename TxtName #1 and #2 to "TxtName2", and use the following custom Validate script for each:
// Copy this field's value to the TxtName fields
getField("TxtName").value = event.value;
You can then hide all of the TxtName fields with:
getField("TxtName").display = display.hidden;

How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(

Question on multiple form elements with the same name !

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which more than one text field with the same name exists on a HTML page. We are using JSF framework (Oracle JDeveloper IDE and OC4J ) . I tried using a String array in my backing bean to handle these text boxes. When I hit the Submit, the action (method) is not invoked. But when I try with unique names everything works fine. Am I going wrong somewhere ?
Thanks in Advance.

You cannot have exactly the same name on objects.
You will have to make an array of them to be able to
o work with them properly--it will keep the names
unique.I understand! But JSF creates its own names which are unique. The following JSF code
        <htm:tr>
            <htm:td>
                <h:inputText value="#{Test.description}" id="description1"/>
            </htm:td>
        </htm:tr>
        <htm:tr>
            <htm:td>
                <h:inputText value="#{Test.description}" id="description2"/>
            </htm:td>
    </htm:tr>generates the following HTML code with unique names.
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input id="Test:description1" type="text" name="Test:description1" />
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input id="Test:description2" type="text" name="Test:description2" />
            </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>Though I have a String Array in the backing bean, this doesn't work (The form does not submit to the method in the Backing Bean).
Similar situation in Struts works absolutely fine.
Any help would be appreciated !!!

Use two VIs with the same name, different functionality on a single Project

Hi, I'm working with vision builder al labview, I need to integrate the vision builder migration Vis into my main program, (Is not an option), but I have multiple Vis autogenerated with the same name, how can i integrate them in the same project without dependency problems
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Unless you really need tight integration between the Vision code and the rest of your LabVIEW application, or would rather not have to pay for a Vision Builder AI runtime license on the targets on which you want to deploy your final application, I would recommend you look into using the Vision Builder AI LabVIEW API instead of migrating the inspection to LabVIEW.
The API allows to control Vision Builder AI by launching a Vision Builder AI engine, running the inspection and retrieving resulting images and results.
The advantage of the API is that it allows for easier modification and debugging of the Vision Inspection that you designed in Vision Builder, if you need to make changes later. (i.e. all you need to do is open the inspection in Vision Builder AI, modify parameters, add steps etc).
You won't have to change your LabVIEW application, unless you want to output additional results.
When you build and deploy your application, you will need to install Vision Builder AI on the target machine and get a runtime license for it.
Migrating the inspection to LabVIEW is a one way deal. If you need to make changes to the inspection, you will have to migrate the inspection again, or modify the code outside of the Vision Builder AI environment.
As you might have noticed, the code generated is quite complex, and it is recommended to go this route only if you need really tight integration/synchronization between the vision code and the rest or your LabVIEW code, or if you would rather pay for a cheaper Vision runtime license rather than a VBAI runtime license for the deployment machine (in case of deploying multiple systems where cost is a big consideration).
Vision Builder AI API examples are located in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Vision Builder AI\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples
Hope this helps clarify the use cases and help you make the right decision for your design.
Best regards,
Christophe

Using variable with the same name as field name?

I have a complex proc where I have variables with the same name as field name used on a query. something like this:
SELECT a.id_table WHERE a.id_table = id_table
where the last id_table is a parameter sent to the proc:
declare procedure myproc(id_table int)
Is there any way or notation to declare the variable inside the query as a variable or I have to use a different name?

Well, variables are not the only thing you have to change if you want to switch to Oracle.
Although I don't think it is good practice (to use variable name same as column name), here is one example how you can achieve it using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and bind variable
SQL> select deptno, count(1)
2 from scott.emp
3 group by deptno;
    DEPTNO   COUNT(1)
        30          6
        20          5
10 3
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2 deptno varchar2(10);
3 i number;
4 begin
5 deptno:=10;
6 execute immediate
7 'select count(1) from scott.emp where deptno=:deptno' into i using deptno;
8 dbms_output.put_line('OUT ---> '||i);
9 end;
10 /
OUT ---> 3

-=-=-=-=-=-For better or worse the JAX-RPC spec requires this behavior. From
section 5.4.1:
"There is no standard mapping for the case when a JavaBean property
has the same name as a public field. A Java to XML mapping
implementation is required to flag this case as an error."
Since you are not the first person to run into this restriction I'm
beginning to think we need an option to bypass it.

How can i distinguish two controls with the same name?

I'm recording automated tests with VS 2012 Coded Ui Test for testing a web application.
In that web application it is possible to enter data in something looking like a list.
There is - per example - an Edit control sitting on a ColumnHeader with the name/text "Description".
Below that header is another Edit control for data input - containing the text "Description" too and which lies on a Cell control.
When i playback my recording, Coded UI Test looks for a control with the name "Description" and gets the one, it finds at first.
In that case the Edit on the ColumnHeader, which causes an exception, when the Text will be setted with the data input from the recording.
Unfortunately the controls have no ID.
Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick Pirzer,
>>Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Based on the blog "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", we know that to really find a control, it would be related to the unique properties as the search properties,
so if two controls have the same property, please use other unique property as the search property would be better.

Jack

2 Apps with the same name?

Hi everybody!
I finished my work on two ipad-magazines a few days ago (english/german version).
The plan is, to transfer the whole .app package to our customer, who will publish the apps in the Apple App Store himself.
Now, there has been a lot of discussions about the name of the Apps. Our customer wants both apps to have the exact same name. There`s not even a single charakter different.
Now, I seriously doubt, that such thing ist possible. I've never seen two Apps with the same name...?
Could you please confirm that? This customer is driving me crazy...
Thank you very much!

Silly idea, IMO.
I just finished a project for March of Dimes with an English and Spanish version.
English has an English name and Spanish has a Spanish name.

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

Are drives with the same name differentiated?

I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and three external drives on which data is stored (a main drive, A-Data, and two backups). A friend may decide to help me with a project and to do so will have to have the same setup. Naming the drives on the second system is of some concern to me, so I did some research.
The fellow at http://www.cnet.com/au/news/drives-in-os-x-appearing-with-1-appended-to-their-na mes/ states:
If by chance you mount two drives of the same name, because the system can't create two mount points with the same name it appends sequential numbers to new mount points as they are created, and therefore you will see the numbered drive names in the Finder.
Unless I misunderstand what he is talking about, I found that I can have two drives with the same name. I can have two drives named A-Data on my desktop. And therein lies my problem (maybe). The project involves Premiere and several of it's sister programs, all of which require external files (video, audio, stills) to be linked, not stored within the working file.
QUES 1
Are disks with the same name distinguishable by OSX or software?
QUES 2
Assume that
I am working on a project which is saved on A-Data (and all the project links are to files on that particular A-Data)
I then connect another disk with the same name (and with the same folder structure), and backup my files to it.
I then eject the first A-Data and open the project on the second A-Data.
Will the software say that it can't find the linked files (because they are on the ejected disk), or will the project open as normal?

Avoid having the same names if at all possible, especially if you use apps that 'link' to the media via the file path.
The file path is set by the order in which the disks mount, which can change across reboots.
To see what is going on by using Disk Utility…
Select the first volume, look at the mount point (a blue link at the bottom of the Window) …
/Volumes/A-Data
Now connect the second volume & select it, look at the mount point…
/Volumes/A-Data 1
Now reboot, power off the first disk, leave the second one on & power disk one back on when the OS has competed booting. They will show the same paths, but each disk is now the 'other' disk - this makes a big mess for Apps like Premiere.
The only way to make this work is to clone every file to be identical on both disks, and never use Premiere (or any app that links to media) when both disks are connected. Otherwise you risk linking to media files on 'A-Data' and 'A-Data 1'.
Premiere must have tools for sharing projects - look at them before using disk names in this way.
You could however clone 'disk 1' to 'disk 2' & then rename it on the second Mac (to make them identical to fix the paths for Premiere), just avoid bringing them to one Mac with the same disk names. It does make more headaches in future though, because your friend will add new media that you need to migrate back to your disk.

Can I create a lot of instance with the same name?

I have, for a project in my studies, to create a map for an adventure game. I must create monsters on this map. For this I use a class that I called Creature. In my class Map i have to initialise the monsters but I
choose their quantity with Math.random() so I don't know how much the map will contain. If in a loop I do: Creature monster = new Creature(); will I have different instances with the same name(I doubt)? Will I have one monster re-created in each iteration of the loop? How can I do to have different monsters in different places (my map is a matrix 2x2)?

You would have many Creature references made, but only one variable to hold them, and it would go out of scope outside your loop. You could create a Creature array or use a List (both defined outside your loop) - as
// array
int numCreatures = randomGeneratedCreatureQuantity();
Creature[] monsters = new Creature[numCreatures];
for (int j = 0; j < numCreatures; j++) {
monsters[j] = new Creature();
// Or a list
int numCreatures = randomGeneratedCreatureQuantity();
ArrayList monsters = new ArrayList();
for (int j = 0; j < numCreatures; j++) {
monsters.add(new Creature());
}Good luck

Fixed Asset there are 2 activities with the same name.

Hi,
I have a question about 2 transaction in ORFA transaction.
There are 2 activities with the same name, I don't know If I chose the first or the second activity for customizing Revaluation Areas.

Hi,
This are two different options for revaluation.
Based on your country requirement this could be either.
Do you have a conutry specific documentation available that could answer this or did you check SAP OSS for further information?

How to differentiate between Radio Buttons with the same name?

My form has two fields, to which I gave the same name ("Radio Button 1.0") in order to achieve mutual exclusivity.
Now, I would like to use JavaScript to retrieve the value of one the two fields:
var checkMark = this.getField("Radio Button1.0");
if (checkMark.value == "Yes") {
Questions:
What is the proper way to inspect the value of a Radio Button? I have tried this:
if (checkMark.value == "No") [...]
but it doesn't seem to work.
How can I tell apart 2 radio buttons with the same name?
TIA,
-RFH

When Radio Buttons and Check Boxes are unchecked their value is "Off", so if you have "Yes", "No" buttons you will also encounter an 'Off" value. Now if you want to look at a given button, you will have to use the "isBoxChecked(nWidget)" method.
nWidget:
The 0-based index of an individual radiobutton or checkbox widget for this field. The index is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order).
Every entry in the Fields panel has a suffix giving this index, for example MyField #0.
Returns
true if the specified widget is currently checked, false otherwise.
Example
var f = this.getField("ChkBox");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
app.alert("The Box is Checked");
else
app.alert("The Box is not Checked");
