Editing Active Forms in Visual Studio

[ens_]

Dear Community,

In an attempt to run an addon after modifying Business Partner Master Data, i receive the following error.

I edited the form using B1 Studio and when i run it locally from Visual Studio it works fine. (Additional Tabs appear, Code is working as intended and Form behaves as it should be)

Is there a special thing i need to do to get it working?

So, After resolving all the above issues, i noticed that when i edit actively the form in B1 Studio, everything is unlinked and you have to manually fix all panes and their respective content.

here you can see that all tabs have the same alias. Do i need to link each data source to their respective item? if yes, where can i find that information?

Hi Varnavas,

Just as a side note, for new questions go ahead and create a new thread. This way you can give a title that better describes the issue for other users to find it as well.

Now regarding the question, SYS_72 is a system datasource (from SAP) and it's used to make sure the tabs are grouped together.

I don't use B1 Studio to change system forms. Can you describe what you are trying to do?

What I am trying to do, is create new tabs on that form and add extra action objects (buttons, combo boxes etc) on the Business Partner Master Data form.

Hi Varnavas,

I'd usually recommend designing the form, then export the form to xml and copy your changes into an update xml. Then use that to load your changes during the FORM_LOAD event.

Here is a template to update the form items:

<Application>

  <forms>

    <action type="update">

      <form uid="">

        <items>

          <action type="update">

            <item uid="">

            </item>

          </action>

        </items>

      </form>

    </action>

  </forms>

</Application>
