IJ45535: SIGOPTION'S CONDITION IS NOT INITIALLY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The Condition set via a Sigoption is not initially taken into
  account in the subtabs on the Plans tab in Work Order Tracking.
  For example, set a Condition to have the Plans/Services subtab
  in WO to be read-only for a specific Security Group. But when
  you first access this Services subtab, the read-only Condition
  is not working straight away and you can actually modify values
  and save them before the read-only Condition takes effect.
   
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 
  * Log in as User maxadmin.
  * Go to Conditional Expression Manager.
  * Create a new record: Condition = WO-ACT, Description = [WO
  Class = ACTIVITY], Type = Expression, Expression (on Object
  WORKORDER) = [ :woclass = 'ACTIVITY], Always Evaluate? =
  checked
  * Save the record.
  * Go to Application Designer and select WOTRACK.
  * Do Add/Modify Signature Options
  * Create new option SIGOPTION-1 SigOption-1 with Visible? =
  checked and OK.
  * Go to Security Groups and select MAXADMIN.
  * Go to Applications tab and select WOTRACK.
  * In Options table, search for SigOption-1 and grant access to
  it and save.
  * Go to Application Designer and select WOTRACK.
  * Select the Plans tab and then Services sub-tab
  * Right-click on Services (entire tab should be highlighted in
  green) and select Properties
  * For Control ID : plans_plans_services_services_table, go to
  Advanced tab
  * Set Signature Option = SIGOPTION-1 and Sig Option Data Source
  ID = MAINRECORD
  * Select Configure Conditional Properties 
  * Select MAXADMIN Group, then select Condition WO-ACT
  * On Condition is true tab, enter Property = inputmode and
  Value = readonly
  * Do not enter anything in Condition is false tab.
  * Click OK, close dialog and save.
  * Log back into Maximo as same User maxadmin.
  * Go to Work Order Tracking and open a record which has Class =
  ACTIVITY, Status = WAPPR and a value in Plans/Services
  * Go to Plans/Services subtab: it has one row.
  * Do not expand the row but change the Quantity value directly
  on the row.
  * Save the record.
  * The change was saved even though the fields are supposed to be
  read-only.
  * Try to change the value of Quantity or Unit Cost fields: this
  time, the fields are read-only as expected.
  * Reopen the Work Order Tracking application from the Go To menu
  and repeat the test with the same record.
  * Once again, a value can be changed on the minimized row.
   
  RESULTS: 
  The Condition (read-only in this example) is not applied right
  away when you first access the Services subtab. It only works
  after a small UI change:  for example if you expand the row or
  move to another subtab and then back to the original subtab
  where the Condition was set.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The Condition should be applied straight away as soon as you
  access the subtab.
