Layout Folder Name Conflict

[Harry Catharell]

This may or may not be a known issue but thought that I would post it for information

We went through a complete setup process again to test and document what we were doing and came up with some missing field lists when identifying the PKs and creation and modification timestamp fields

details are:

• choose direction = hub to spoke

• choose primary key = developer managed

• field merging = merge changes together

• conflicts = most recent wins

when we tried to choose the PKs there were field lists missing from 3 of the 10 tables chosen to be synced although we had checked that the fields and the layouts had been defined correctly

The reason was down to a layout folder name being the same name as the layout [ e.g. folder = 'booking' and layout = 'booking']

MirrorSync read the folder name as a layout and returned no fields

We changed the folder names for the 3 to something unique and we then got the correct field list to make our choices from

Hope this helps but please feel free to identify a better way to report any possible bugs

Cheers

Harry

Hi Harry - yes, we know about this issue, and we submitted it as a bug report to FileMaker several months ago.
