JR44740: TABLE VISIBILTY REVERTED BACK TO READONLY

Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There might be a need to be able to dynamically change the
  visibility of an entire column in a table.
  If performing this by binding the table column to a visibility
  variable, and setting this varibale during execution to EDITABLE
  (and this has been tried using EDITABLE or Editable as the
  string value) the table column will revert to being readonly.
  

Local fix

• V800:
  a) Copy CoachView Table from Coaches toolkit into the user's
  process ap
  (don't rename the copy), add the following if-statement at the
  beginning
  of doStartEdit() in the copy's inline javascript:
   doStartEdit: function(inCell, inRowIndex) {
    if (! this.tableView.isClickToEdit()) {
     return;
    }
    (... original content of doStartEdit...)
   },
  b) Modify the user Coach/CoachViews to use the copy created in
  (a)
  instead of the one in Coaches toolkit.
  c) Check/Select the Table's config option Disable-Click-To-Edit.
  
  --------------------------------------------
  
  
  V801:
  The work around would be:
  The if-statement in (a) above is:
   doStartEdit: function(inCell, inRowIndex) {
    if (! this.tableView.isClickToEdit(inCell.layoutIndex)) {
     return;
    }
    (... original content of doStartEdit...)
   },
  
  
  --------------------------------------------
  Note: without the workaround, Disable-Click-to-Edit only works
  properly
  when the cells' visibilities do not change at runtime.
