DataSource XML fields parsed as Field instead of DataSourceField on startup

Hi,
We have recently upgraded the client libraries to 14.1p-2026-06-19 and we are noticing the following warning messages on startup.

Can you please verify and let us know your feedback.

Thanks

We'll need to see the DataSource XML here - it seems like to get these errors, you would need to define a Field.ds.xml and then use <Field> elements in your other .ds.xml files, whereas <field> is what's doc'd.

Hi,
These are the smartgwt provided ds.xml files shipped from smartgwtpro.jar file.
further debugging I noticed the following ds.xml files has the wrong field name tag.

1. com\smartclient\public\sc\system\schema\AddScreenTask.ds.xml
2. com\smartclient\public\sc\system\schema\ViewLoader.ds.xml
3. com\smartclient\public\sc\system\schema\ScreenLoader.ds.xml

All the above ds.xml files have the tag starts with upper case Field, here is the example from one of the ds.xml

<Field name="screenName" type="string" basic="true" canEdit="false"/>

Can you please verify and fix.

Thanks

We've made a fix to address this in 14.1.

Please retest with tomorrow's builds.
