    not really well composed but legal AdvancedCriteria gives strange behaviour in 12.1

    SmartClient Version: v12.1p_2022-11-16/Enterprise Development Only (built 2022-11-16)

    Chrome on MacOS Ventura

    Hello, I just noticed that an AdvancedCriteria, which was not really well composed (it was constructed dynamically in javascript), gives a different behaviour in recent 12.1 builds vs 13.0.

    I don't know if it's a symptom of an actual problem, as the fix in the application is trivial, but I want to report it nevertheless.

    Please modify the comboComboBoxStyled sample like this:

    Code:
    isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID: "testForm",
    width: 500,
    items: [
        {
            name: "itemName", title: "Item Name", editorType: "ComboBoxItem", valueField: "itemID",
            addUnknownValues: false,
            optionDataSource: "supplyItem",
            width: 250,
            pickListCellHeight: 50,
            pickListProperties: {
                canHover: true,
                showHover: true,
                cellHoverHTML: function (record) {
                    return record.units;
                },
                formatCellValue: function (value, record, field, viewer) {
                    var descStr = record.units;
                    var styleStr = "font-family:arial;font-size:11px;white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;";
                    var retStr = "<table>" +
                        "<tr><td ><span style='" + styleStr + "width:170px;float:left'>" + record.itemName + "<span></td>" +
                        "<td align='right'><span style='" + styleStr + "width:50px;float:right;font-weight:bold'>" + record.unitCost + "<span></td></tr>" +
                        "<tr><td colSpan=2><span style='" + styleStr + "width:220px;float:left'>" + descStr + "</span></td></tr></table>";
                    return retStr;
                }
            },
            getPickListFilterCriteria: function () {
                return {
                    _constructor: "AdvancedCriteria",
                    operator: "or",
                    criteria: [
                        {
                            operator: "and",
                            criteria: [
                                {
                                    fieldName: "units",
                                    operator: "equals",
                                    value: "Roll"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                };
            }
        }]
});
    using v12.1p_2022-11-16 the DSRequest that I see in the RPC tab, when I open the picklist, is:

    Code:
    {
    dataSource:"supplyItem",
    operationType:"fetch",
    componentId:"isc_PickListMenu_0",
    data:{
        operator:"and",
        criteria:[
            {
                fieldName:"units",
                operator:"equals",
                value:"Roll"
            }
        ]
    },
    startRow:0,
    endRow:75,
    textMatchStyle:"startsWith",
....
    and this is what I see in the tomcat logs:

    Code:

    the criteria lacks the _constructor attribute, so it isn't treated as an AdvancedCriteria (and so it's ignored).

    Instead using
    SmartClient Version: v13.0p_2022-11-16/Enterprise Development Only (built 2022-11-16)
    the DSRequest in the RPC tab is the same, but the tomcat logs are different:

    so it's indeed treated as and advanced criteria, as the logs say "not explicitly marked as AdvancedCriteria but treating as Advanced based on format". It was also the case with older 12.1 builds.

    The intended behavior is the one you're showing for 13.0 - the server is supposed to heuristically figure out that the criteria must be AdvancedCriteria, even if it's not explicitly marked.

    However, can you clarify what you're saying about 12.1 - it seems like you're saying that older 12.1 builds also treated the criteria as advanced, but newer 12.1 builds do not?

    Also, is it exactly the same DataSource? Because the heuristics take into account the fields of the DS, for example, if you actually declare a field called "operator" then something that looks a bit like AdvancedCriteria might actually be valid as simple criteria, for that particular DataSource.

      Yes, same dataSource (supplyItem in the showcase comboListComboBox sample), and yes, build v12.1p_2022-11-16 do not treat the criteria as advanced, this is the tomcat log (from the showcase):

      the behaviour is not exactly the same as the 13.0, the DSRequest in the RPC tab is different:

      Code:
      {
    dataSource:"supplyItem",
    operationType:"fetch",
    componentId:"isc_PickListMenu_0",
    data:{
        operator:"or",
        criteria:[
            {
                operator:"and",
                criteria:[
                    {
                        fieldName:"units",
                        operator:"equals",
                        value:"Roll"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    startRow:0,
    endRow:75,
    textMatchStyle:"startsWith",
      as you can see, the criteria retains the outer "or" (which actually is useless), and in the tomcat logs the criteria has the attribute _constructor and the resulting query has the same where condition as the 13.0 build.

        Ah, OK, so to sum up:

        1. the 12.1 server does not do heuristic AdvancedCriteria detection, and you've seen no change here

        2. the 12.1 client side changed somewhere in the last 8 months, such that in this circumstance, it sends simplified criteria. However that simplified criteria drops the explicit AdvancedCriteria marker.

        #2 was probably the inadvertent result of a bugfix, we'll check it out, thanks for the report.

          This is fixed and is available for download in nightly builds since Nov 26.
