optionDataSource issues

[jpappalardo]

Im using SmartClient Version: v8.2p_2012-04-06/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2012-04-06)

I have defined a field as so


Here is the entity its referring to as I use schemaBean to generate the ds


For some reason when I select values, some of them put the name in the list while others put the code in the list. I have attached an image to demonstrate.

Have I done something wrong, or have I found a bug?

One thing that would cause this is if the FormItem.fetchMissingValues behavior is getting bad responses from your server. This will cause DSRequest to load just a single display value for a single code value - if you see requests like this in the RPC tab of the Developer Console and the display value is missing from the response, that would cause this.

A 'shotgun' approach would be to turn off data paging for this list, which is probably fine for a list of countries. You can do this via setting dataFetchMode:"basic" via pickListProperties.
