IO17519: FORM EDITOR MODE ISSUE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After customizing a field on the form via the Form editor to
  specify a
  mode of  visibility for a Field AND then removing the mode type
  the
  field is no longer visible in any mode.
  The expected result is that it should be reset to the default
  visibility
  for all modes.
  
  STEPS TO DUPLICATE:
  
  1.  Create a custom connector
  2.  Open with Form Editor
  3.  Add a Field,  Set Mode Selection to AddOnly
  4.  and add to General form
  5.  Save and close
  6.  Add to an AL in various modes to test visibility.
  7.  Go back to the form editor and remove AddOnly
  8.  Save and Close
  9.  Go back to an AL and test, the field is no longer visible in
  any
  mode.
  
  The manual fix is to open the .connector and remove the line:
  
      <parameter name="modes"/>
  
  from the definition:
  
  <FormItem name="filepath">
              <parameter name="description">Enter path</parameter>
              <parameter name="label">Path</parameter>
              <parameter name="modes"/>
          </FormItem>
  
  Desired Behavior:  Form Mode is managed correctly after changes
  in
  visibility from the Form Editor.
  
  Environment: TDI 7.0. fp 6  (and later)
  
  Note this fix needs to be applied to 7.0 and later.
