SysListsFlag

StatusRead/ Write
DefaultZero
Notes

Controls the re-setting of drop-down lists when Equinox loads a form. Acceptable values are:

  • 0 Lists are reset using values (if any) from field definitions
  • 1 Lists retain any modifications done using method language

This workarea is set to zero when Equinox starts and all drop-down lists are reset using any values present in field definitions. These lists can then be modified at run-time using the method language, but will be reset using field definition values (if any) each time a form is loaded. To prevent the re-setting of drop-down lists at form load, set the workarea to one.

Note that if Equinox re-loads/ changes dictionaries, this workarea will be set to zero and all drop-down lists will be reset. Selecting the Refresh Dictionary option (File menu) will cause this to happen.
