Option - Select Members On Code

Nicolas CHIGROS

IDEA

Currently in Board the following object use internal member UIDs to memorized the member to use :

• Screen selection
• selection step procedure
• References in Layouts

My idea is to have the options to memorized the code of the member instead.

Ideally it should be an option enable by entities and a default set by database.

Otherwise by database for backward compatibility.

Why:

If you ever have cleared an entity and reload it because bad value where loaded you should know why 🤣

PS: An options seems to have a similar name in the configuration file server_config_v2.xml (onpremise) but I never tested it :

+ 1 on this idea, I seem to remember it was discussed a long time ago.

I agree everybody having to clear entities really knows the value of that option. I know that every structuring selection should be governed by flexible objectifs (like a selection based on cube where you can refresh / update selections) but it is simply not doable for each and every selection everywhere.

It's also a topic when moving procedures from development to production databases : if you had some testing data in dev, your selection will need to be updated manually in production after transport, which is creating usually a lot of trouble in production.
