Description Zuzana Krejčová 2012-02-21 15:34:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
The wizard allows you to add whatever you like into input for 'value list' and 'default value', even though the Fact's field is an enumeration. This way you can overwrite the values of the enumeration and cause yourself some interesting problems.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
BRMS 5.3.0 ER4


Steps to Reproduce:
Using 
  model with a fact Person with fields age, name, sex
  enumeration 'Person.sex':['f=female', 'm=male']

1. Create a new Guided Decision Table via the wizard.
2. Add a Fact Pattern - Person, and Constraint - sex. (Fill in bindings, operator.)
3. Add to the Constraint:
  A) value "a,b,c" into the value list,
  B) value "aaa" as a default value,
  C) value "male" as a default value.
4. Finish the wizard and add a row.

  
Actual results:
A) Rows expand to show rules with values a, b and c as sex. The new row has options a, b and c. Even though the enumeration defines f, m (female, male).
B+C) The row is empty, no default value shown, even though there is one defined and visible in both the source and the column configuration.


Expected results:
This should not be even possible:
A) The input field for value list should be disabled or not shown at all.
B+C) There should be a list to choose from. It would contain the labels female, male and resolve that to f, m in the source
Comment 1 manstis 2012-02-28 16:51:10 UTC 
It is not specific to the Wizard, but has been a long standing limitation for "Default Value" and "Option value list" in the web-guided Decision Table as a whole. I have linked a JIRA that is related to this BZ.

The "(optional) value list" field is also a bit useless with this operator.

I assume you mean the operator "this" as opposed to forgetting to say what "this operator" is? ;)

Zuzka Krejčová <zkrejcov> made a comment on jira GUVNOR-1709

No, sorry for the confusion, I meant the operator "is contained in the a (comma separated) list" as specified in the title of this JIRA issue.

Thanks, Michael! Making sure the bug doesn't show up in a list of fixes for 5.3.

Do we really have it in ER6? I got the impression it was decided not to include this fix in 5.3. Has that changed?
Comment 10 manstis 2012-04-23 09:30:18 UTC 
You are correct. It is not in 5.3.
Comment 11 manstis 2012-05-02 12:29:35 UTC 
This has been fixed in community release 5.4.
Comment 12 Ryan Zhang 2012-05-11 10:54:37 UTC 
Yep, it's my mistake by batch status updates. Sorry!
