portal field and value list

[judyray]

My portal has several fields on it.

Several of these are filled in by choosing from a value list.

The value list makes it own data from the field itself by way of allowing other as data is entered.

The value lists come from fields in tables other than the one the portal is viewing.

All of these work except one. As I use the value list, it will accept the data. But then when I try to add another item to the list, it wants to change the value that is already there. I can't get more entries, and it will change the entry to be the latest one entered, in all the records.

At first I thought it might have to do with the position in the portal, so I moved another field there, and that one works fine. I have checked over and over, and see no difference between the one that works and the one that does not. I checked the definition in the table itself, the formatting of the field, etc.

What could be different about this particular field?

Could the field be defined as having global storage?

Does the field behave correctly without a value list attached?

Such behavior could relate to the tough tough matters to grasp:
