Single line showing as multi line

[Dan Brown2]

Hello,

I have got a String field Medium (100) that has been on a form for while, for some reason it is now showing as a mutli line box.   As far as I am aware nothing has been changed on this field.   I can't find a way to change it back.

In the history of the field, there are 2 Audit Type updates.

Has anyone ever seen this type of behaviour/problem?

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Have you tried removing it from the form and placing it again? Are other String(100) fields doing the same thing or just that one? On an outside chance, it MAY be a dictionary attribute that I'm unfamiliar with. Check those too.

Also, check for any client scripts that may be doing DOM manipulation.

Hi Chuck, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I tried removing the field and then adding it back to the form, no luck. It is the only String (100) doing this.   There are not client scripts referencing this field.

I have never seen anything like this and I am a bit confused/concerned.

The audit history just has 2 entries under audit, that haven't edited any value:

Anything of interest in the Versions related list for that field's dictionary entry? I wonder if you can revert to an older version to see what happens.

If you make changes to the form, you may want to flush the cache (cache.do) as for design is cached for performance. Normally when you change the form design it does this automatically. It may not after tweaking the dictionary entry. Not sure, but always safe (not recommend for production environment.)

Again thanks Chuck.

Just been in the versions tab.   When I compare the old to the current version. The only change is the choice field changing from 0 to an empty value.

I will try and revert this back.   Strange what has caused this???
