Changing a form's action buttons using R5 designer when the form will be used on R4 clients can cause big problems.





When a form that was originally created on R4 is changed in R5 the actions are changed in the $Actions field for R4 and the $V5Actions field for R5.

Unfortunately for every change after that the R5 client only changes the $V5Actions field.

This means that the R4 and R5 buttons will then have different actions. This could be quite useful but could be achieved in an easier way.

Sometimes the action buttons can actually appear twice on the form, or will not appear at all on the

R4 client, as they were only saved in the $V5Actions field.

 

Solution1: Delete the $V5Actions field from the design Element, after every save by the R5 client.

Solution2: Only use the R4 client to change actions.
