Dynamic Application Guide issue

Go to Dynamic Application editor and there in Alerts page and then open Guide, search for tab_idx

the example code looks like this: o_999 != 5 and tab_idx in [’.1’,’.3’,’.4’,’.6’]

and explanation in the same page looks like this: Surround each index with single-quotation marks ( ‘ )

The error is not that easily visible but the single-quotation mark is ('). And even if you have done some python already before doing your copy-paste from guide to alert property window and you are like normal human and tend to believe documentation you end up having lots of system errors. The error itself is a not that self-explanatory because it blames us about using non-ascii characters in code.

This issue was found on 12.1.2 and is tested to be on 12.3.4 also.

  • Hi Bryan_Anderton​ 

    well, then another small rant for this issue. About how to access that help. Currently in many places, examples are dashboard widget editing and dynamic application editing, if you want to have the help for that area you actually have to first either close the editing, or navigate to earlier page, and choose help from there and then start editing that widget again. Not that user friendly, at least when comparing to good old Guide.
