Missing Update button on table extended from task

[Ian Elrick1]

Hi

I have created a table extended from task. 

When I view the   form for my new table as system administrator, I see the "Update" button as I would expect. 

When I view as another user however, (they have create,write,delete and read access to the table), I am not getting the update button. 

Can anyone confirm why this would be? I have tried adding admin etc to my user but it does not make a difference. 

Thanks in advance

Have you tried looking at the conditions on the UI action you see as administrator? It could be a button for a specific user (such as admin). Also, when you add the admin role to your account, you have logged out and back in to make sure the roles update?

If there is a UI action for "Update" on the child table with the same action name as the parent table, it will override the parent table UI Action.

Hi 

Yes I did thanks. There is more info however.

It is not just the standard "Update" UI Action that has the issue. I have added a UI action of my own and that is not viewable by the user in question as well. 

What I have noticed is that tasks in other tables work ok however. The task with the issue is created from a workflow "Run Script" i.e. view javascript. This follows an approval stage that the problem user has provided approval for. This needs to be done by script as the number of tasks to be created is dynamic depending on various factors.

The user in the "created by" field is the user who cannot see the update button. 

The tasks that function with the update button showing have all been created by workflow  and all have sys admin as their creator.

My only guess would be that some condition on the UI Action is preventing the created_by user from accessing the button. What is the condition on the UI Action?

Hi

Is exactly the same as in your bitmap i.e 

current.isValidRecord() && current.canWrite() && gs.getProperty('glide.ui.update_is_submit') != 'true'

The settings I managed to capture on opening the form are as follows:

The user that I have the issue with:

errordebug:Mike MoveLead
isvalid=true
canwrite=true
glide.ui.update_is_submit=false

The user that works:

errordebug:System Administrator
isvalid=true
canwrite=true
glide.ui.update_is_submit=false

So I do not think it is the condition. Plus this is happening as well with a generic UI Action as well.
