SalesLogix released hotfix 1 for SalesLogix 7.5.2. One of the published resolutions of the hot fix was a modification to the dependency lookup
to fix defect 1-72412 “Editing ACI values on the ticket causes the ACI view to freeze”. This fix entailed a new version of the SalesLogix web control assembly. I had been hoping that Sage would also sneak in a serious design flaw with the dependency lookup that prevents you from seeing what the user has set the value to. For instance on a ticket If a ticket has an Area=A Category=B and Issue=C and the user changes this so the Area=A the Category=Y and the Issue=Z, you would expect the exposed OnChange event of the dependency lookup to return that the new values are A, Y, and Z respectively. However the on change event apparently runs too soon and still returns A, B, and C. This is really lame and makes the dependency lookups unusable for logic evaluation purposes .
I guess I will keep my fingers crossed for Hot Fix 2.
