Hi All,

I've added some very basic local configuration to the collection-object/cataloging procedure to add a few fields.

And If I go directly to the cataloging page, I see my changes working es expected, shown at the bottom here:
[cid:0f85e2cf-0530-4dfd-b311-ab6702b4b6ba]

But what totally confused me is that the Create New Records form has changed, losing the section specifically for Cataloging Records, and instead adding cataloging to the list of Procedural records, as well as swapping columns. Compare the updated form [cid:7a7627bd-6705-46f0-83ec-1b4f326bd73c] ?

with  the standard (4.1) form:
[cid:097ad377-7e67-4c58-a71a-a0fb94f383d3]

Anyone seen behavior like this before? I've isolated it to being related to making changes in the Application layer (i.e. if I only make those changes, the problem appears), but I'm wondering if it a function of the way the UI handles configuration? Any pointers on debugging the UI would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chad

Hi Ray,

OK, that makes sense. I hadn't really grokked the difference between record objects and procedural objects.

Thanks again.

Hi Chad,
In mmi-collectionobject.xml you have:

This overlays base-collectionobject.xml, which has:

So in the merged record, you end up with type="record,procedure" added to the <record>. You don't wan't that, because it tells the app layer that collectionobjects are procedures. So it moves into the Procedural Records section in the UI, and the Cataloging Records section disappears, because now there are no cataloging records. I'm guessing other things will go wrong as well.

The HTML for the Create New page is goofy, so when the Cataloging Records column disappears, things reflow in an unexpected way. I've also seen weird things happen when the heights of the columns change as you add and remove record types.
