Task reporting

Post by lorymax »

1 - a custom field with dropdown list, initially it is empty. If I insert a value it is no longer possible to delete it, but only replace it with another one. In other custom fields, pressing CANC returns the field empty. It would be nice to be able to do this for the dropdown list as well.

2 - in EPIM 11.5 I would like an option to deactivate the "Quick add new tasks line" which in my case is useless and annoying.

Thank you.

1. What's CANC? Where do you press it?

Got it, thanks. As a workaround solution you can create a new value, say EMPTY and use it before an option to clear the field is available.

yes I already did it by creating an entry with a dash.
But it would still be good to have the possibility to completely clear the field.

Thank you.

the possibility of adding an empty field to the drop-down list could also be fine, but this too is not possible at the moment.
Indeed, it is really possible to add an empty field in "edit field" but by confirming with OK it disappears.

Thank you.

Very good! I see that in EPIM 11.5 BETA2 you solved problem n°1.

Number 2 is much less important.

Thank you.

In EPIM 11.6 Beta2 there is again the problem that I reported in point 1 at the beginning of this thread.

It is not possible to empty a custom field. It can only be done from the list view, but not in the task window
