Help - all data fields in all my forms are locked in design view

Working in LiveCycle Designer ES2 v.9 - I have 10 forms that I've designed for my client. I opened them this morning to edit the design and all the data fields are locked. In the Hierarchy tab, the names are greyed out. I haven't done anything to the forms since saving last night. Some of the forms are really complex and and no way do I want to recreate them. I tried saving with a different name but that doesn't work either. NB. The forms work OK when opened in Acrobat (for filling). It's just the design edits in LiveCycle that I can't do, now.

Thanks. I figured out that I had inadvertently clicked on (enabled) Lock Fields. It took awhile as when that is turned on, the menu item doesn't show that you've turned it on e.g. no check mark or default to "Unlock Fields". If it changed to "Unlock Fields", I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to figure out what happened:o).
Something the LiveCycle team may want to change in that menu.

Data fields selected in a form are not displaying

I have selected "Size" & "Outlook Data File" as 2 fields that I need to see on the front tab of all my contacts. In testing to see if it works I opened a new contact (blank). Upon it trying to open I get the same error
twice "The Property does not exist. The field you want to modify does not exist for this type of item." I don't want to modify these two fields, just display them. I chose the same field names in the forms developer/design
area as when I added the field as a display cols. in a simple list of contacts (e.g. phone book). So it works in Viewing a list but I can't see these 2 fields when I add them to a form. More precisely the labels show, "0" shows as the
size and blank in the other display field.

Hi Steve,
Situation: Through the yrs I've had multiple email domains. I've discovered that as I opened and edited contacts they did not always save to my main contact (.pst) I want to consolidate my contacts to my new one.
If I open the same email address from 3-5 different .pst & now MSX too, I want to know which file (domain) they are being displayed from so I don't necessarily have to ck every field to know if I can simply delete one or if I have to go field
by field to do a merge. Secondly, I've found that some contacts from older domains never got to my current .MSX so I'm trying to figure the best way to see these. (Doing an export, then import & then removing dups is not a feasible answer.
The exports truncate my notes to 250 chars so I loose too much of my history.) I added "InFolder" to the contacts form but several say "contacts" so that is not enough to differentiate them. I tried to go & change the name of the older contacts
folders but still have 3 contacts folders that I can't seem to change.
"A field appears in the Field Chooser but it doesn't mean we can use it on every type of Outlook item. We can only use fields appropriate for the form we are designing." I realize this but these 2 fields are available & display beautifully when
I select them in my "View" of a list of contacts so it's associated in the OutL database. Seems logical that it should be on a design form too.
Is there another suggestion for differentiating where the source of the contact comes from?
Not sure I follow what you mean by, "We can also post in Outlook for Developers forum to check the properties of Outlook contact form, and confirm which fields we can add to it:" ?? Will this serve as that posting or are you saying post a separate thread?

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

Data arrived in ODS new data - all data fields are cleared

Hello Experts
We are loading every day since 3 years data into a DSO There is a simple start routine.
Issue:
Suddenly 1x record out of 12'000 records loses the data fields or in other words the data fields are cleared. The key part of the record still extists. The table of new data shows the record with all cleared data fields. Thus before activation the data are lost already somwhere in updating.
We dont use expert routines, no end routines ect. It is a simple 1:1 transformation with a simple start routine.
We debugged the start routine and the record still exists correctly at the end of the start routine with all entries in the data fields.
So quite tricky and we hope of some good ideas , you may help us.
Thanks a lot for your input and help

Our system is SAP BW 7.01 on DB6

The data request has been split in 2 x data packages.
And the erroneous record was exactly the last data record in data package 1.
I have than increased the data request size from 10’000 Records to 50’000
records (default) and it worked than perfectly without clearing any data
columns
For me absolutely not understandable, why this can happen.
Do you have an idea.

F4 help for date field in ITS

hi all;
I was working on ESS Leave Request, i am using the standard program SAPMWS20000081H and the service template WS20000081.
Now in the EP view i am unable to get the F4 help for the date field 'Absence From' & 'Absence To'. i have checked the data element used it is 'DATS'.
How to get the F4 help in the view, please help me its of high priority.

Hi, I can tell you what we have done. I can see that the original template displays the "Absence from" field this way :
<tr> <td>`SAP_TemplateEditableField("FromDay", fieldLabel=ABSENCEFROM030150.label, fieldLabelWidth="170", name="ABSENCEFROM030150", value=ABSENCEFROM030150, size="10", maxlength="10", marginTop=9, inspectionText=ABSENCEFROMDAY, align="",
required="", width="", onchange="update_checkn(this.SAP_value, this)" )` </td>
</tr>
We modified the template to display it like this :
<tr><td> `SAP_Field("ABSENCEFROM030150","ABSENCEFROM030150", DynproLabelWidth="170")` </td></tr>
We did the same for ABSENCETO040150. So you can play around with the template to generate the F4 button. ( Note that we also added the ~webgui parameter in the service file and set it to 1, this in order to generate the calendar ). Good luck !

F4 Help on Date Field after ALV is generated

Hi all,
Now this might sound very simple question, but Im having some difficulty in this.
My idea is to have an F4 on a date field after the ALV Grid report is executed. From the forum search, Ive got such answers as
l_fieldcat-edit         = 'X'.
l_fieldcat-F4AVAILABL = 'X'.
Now the problem with this is that Im getting an error saying:
The data object "l_fieldcat does not have a component called "F4AVAILABL".
And then I tried this:
l_fieldcat-fieldname    = 'DDATE'.
l_fieldcat-ref_tabname = 'ZCST001'.
Now at the report output when I press F4 on the date field it gives me a dump saying:
Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID===============CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
So Im kinda stuck now. Appreciate your suggestions.
PS: Im on ECC6.
PPS:The intended F4 on field is a custom field in a custom table.

Help with Date Field properties

I have a problem setting properties for date field. I want date in mm/dd/yy format, that i am able to but I want something like this. When someone enters date as just numbers like 080708, it should automatically make it as 08/07/08.
I tried doing some setting but couldn't find any help appreciated.
thanks

You will need to adjust the validation patterns in the Value tab on the object palette. There are four patterns that you can play with (Display, Edit, Validation and Data). Each pattern will affect the field data at different times. To get access to the patterns click on the Validation Pattern...button. A new dialog will open up with the 4 patterns available to you. The display pattern is how the data will be shown on screen. The edit pattern is how the user will enter the data, the Validation pattern is how the field will be validated and the Data pattern is how the data will appear in the saved XML.
In your case you will want to set a disply pattern of DD/MM/YY and an edit pattern of DDMMYY. This will allow the user to enter 080708 or 08/07/08 and it will display 08/07/08 all of the time.
Hope that helps
