Info not showing?

[TinkBD]

I am working on a book inventory app

I have the following situation:

Software Objects: Author, Book Info, Book Series

Relationships:

Author to book = One to many

Book to Series = One to One

In the Book Info SO, the Author info appears as gobbledie gook OR blank, if I hit clear, unless I hit the arrow and get the dropdown choices.

In the Book Info SO, the Series name appears just fine...

What I want is to display the Author name in the Author Info, instead of the TSB info.

I tried making creating a Book to Author (one to One) relationship, but TSB won';t recognize it since I already have the Author to book = One to many.

In the grand scheme of things, I deemed the Author to book = One to many more important so I kept it.

Here is a screenshot. Any help welcome! I am talking to a potential JV about this this afternoon...

Thank,
Tink

Yep, that is a bug. I need to set a default property or let you set a default property so it would show up in that instance.

Let the JV know I will be fixing it.

Wouldn't you have a lot of books in one series? So it would be one series to many books?

BTW, the software looks awesome Tink. I am really proud of you.

Ok... do you have a timeline for the fix?

Meanwhile, I went in with a 20 oz hammer and a wonderbar and minimized the problem... :rolleyes:

Ok Tink. :)

Now you can control which editor shows up by clicking the Default property on the property editor window. Then it will show up when it is associated.

So you got Author object association on the Book object window. You can click the default property on Author name and it will show up on the Book object window instead of the gobbly gook or whatever you called it. hehe
