Bug in Script Print / Import Match Fields

Featured Replies

Doing some disaster preparedness work, I saved a PDF copy of all my Scripts using the Script Editor's Print Button.

I was browsing through the printout, when I noticed a problem.

Several of my scripts has a Import step, and the Printout does NOT match the actual script step. For example:

The Actual Script Step:

Import Records [ Source: “file:XXX”; Target: “Events”; Method: Update matching; Add remaining; Character Set: “Mac Roman”; Field

Mapping:

Source field Serial import to Events::fkImportSerial

Source field WorkerID match with Events::WorkerID

Source field HireDate match with Events::Date

Source field kHired match with Events::EventKind

[ No dialog ]

What shows up in the Printed PDF:

Import Records [ Source: “file:XXX”; Target: “Events”; Method: Update matching; Add remaining; Character Set: “Mac Roman”; Field

Mapping:

Source field 21 import to Events::fkImportSerial

Source field 34 match with Events::WorkerID

Source field 35 match with Events::Date

Source field 60 match with Events::EventKind

Source field 79 import to Events::)____ Export Fields ]

[ No dialog ]

Notice the difference: The printout has an additional ghost import field (id 79) that is being imported to a field named "____ Export Fields" (which is, in fact, a dummy global field that I'm using as a field label).

I've double-checked, and my import script step does only have 3 match fields and one import field, not 3 match fields and 2 import fields.

I see this in a few (but not all) of my scripted imports. The database seems to work fine, and no bogus data gets imported, but this is worrying.
