This is something I've never experienced before - but then I've just moved to Lion.

I have a text field that I'm trying to assign the 'radio button' option for control types. It is grayed-out and unassignable.

I'm trying to assign a 'custom value' value list to the field and it and about 1/2 the other value lists in the solution are grayed out and unassignable.

What's going on? Why are some Value Lists unassignable for use and why am I not able to use the 'radio button' control option? This is really frustrating.

(i"m using FM11 advanced/Mac OSX Lion. Previous development on earlier versions of Mac OSx did not exhibit this behavior)

The file is locked.

The file is locked.

Or read only. Right click (or command-click) the file, select Get Info, and make sure the current user has read and write privileges.

This is a mature solution. I've recently made numerous scripting changes since moving to Lion,I can add and change data. I can select any of the 'control types' for a field except 'radio button' (it's grayed out) and I can assign about 1/2 of the 100 value lists I have defined in the file (the others are grayed out including a new one I just created). Only when I went to add another field to a layout and attempted to assign 'radio button' control to it did I discover the problem. The problem exists on all layouts in this solution

That doesn't sound like it's locked! And it does not show 'locked' on 'get info'. I have read/write privileges on the file.

The issue apparently exists in all my solutions - not just this one. Yet those fields assigned radio buttons and value lists before I moved to Lion still work.

Any other thoughts?

Have you installed the latest FM update yet - the last one addressed some Lion issues.

I'm on 11.0v4. I think that's the latest.

I reinstalled FM and reinstalled all the updates and all is well.

Kind of scary. FM didn't recognize it was broken. I wonder what else wasn't working that I hadn't discovered.
