DynamicForm ComboBoxItem static appearance

[michaelaveva]

Hi,

Fields with a ComboBoxItem editor type in a DynamicForm no longer display correctly when read-only and their ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance is STATIC.
Other item types like TextItem and DateItem don't have this issue.

Using latest Chrome browser and SmartGWT version v14.1p_2026-06-10/Pro Deployment.
I also tested it using SmartGWT version v14.1p_2026-04-01/Pro Deployment, using that older build everything displays statically as expected.


In this example:
A -> is read-only and contains text but does not display statically
B -> is editable and displays as expected
C -> is read-only and contains no value, does not display statically
D -> is a TextItem instead of a ComboBoxItem, displays as expected

Associated test case code:

@Override
    public void onModuleLoad()
    {
        ComboBoxItem aItem = new ComboBoxItem("a", "A");
        aItem.setCanEdit(false);
        ComboBoxItem bItem = new ComboBoxItem("b", "B");
        bItem.setCanEdit(true);
        ComboBoxItem cItem = new ComboBoxItem("c", "C");
        cItem.setCanEdit(false);
        TextItem dItem = new TextItem("d", "D");
        dItem.setCanEdit(false);
        DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
        form.setItems(aItem, bItem, cItem, dItem);
        form.setCanEdit(true);
        form.setReadOnlyDisplay(ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance.STATIC);

        com.smartgwt.client.data.Record record = new com.smartgwt.client.data.Record();
        record.setAttribute("a", "A value");
        record.setAttribute("b", "B value");
        record.setAttribute("c", (String) null);
        record.setAttribute("d", "D value");
        form.editRecord(record);

        form.draw();
    }

There has indeed been a change in this area - which framework version and browser are you using?

In fact, that effect (of showing a shrunken box with no content) should already have been fixed, about a month ago.

Following up, it turns out that the fix wasn't ported back to 14.1 - we'll do it now, for today's builds dated June 11.
