glide list select multiple not working - lets me select entries but doesn't save them

Alex Macdonel · ‎04-24-2019

In a scoped app I created a glide list field of members of a group, the list works as expected except when I use the 'select multiple' option, I see the valid names and after selecting and saving some of them, the changes are not saved...

Any idea what could be happening?

It was a mis-configuration on my end... I made the glide_list a dependent field with a reference definition - this is a no no. You can only make dependent fields from choice type fields.

The 'dependent' checkbox was disabled and all works as expected.

Never heard of it before.

But check if there are any scripts running on the catalog item?

Please mark my response as correct and helpful if it helped solved your question.

Not a catalog item but no, no scripts are running on the variable that could mess things up. It's an extension of the task table on a brand new field, there shouldn't be anything running on it.

I'd check to see if the same field is listed on the form twice, like, in a different section or something. If it is, it won't know which to save and could be saving the blank one vs the one with values!

Not a duplicate field, good tip though... I can see how having duplicate fields can cause trouble.
