Lookup field - drop down does not work- Radio buttons yes

[Nicolas]

Dear all,

As I am practising, I took the invoicing example so I have a base and I have a strange performance on the server.
When I link two tables and want a drop down field box to select from names from another table it shows a the text Searching... and a small circle spinning but nothing comes out...
when configuring the output as a radio button.... it shows data to select..... no change on the select... just how to show the results....
If there are 2/3 records on the parent table... no problem, but if this is a list of representatives to clientes.... or invoices and customers.... not too practic....

what can be causing this? the server? any hint???

Thank you

Nicolas

Hmm .. You could try debugging this issue .. Please see the screenshot below:

The inspector would report any connection errors. If you see an error, please describe it here to see what went wrong.

Maybe you could have a look yourself?

This model is not a real working one, just learning, but the base is what counts.

It requires login. You could send me a user/pass via PM.

Hello

I was trying to figure out what select was related to the lookup field and I tried to view the file invoices_autofill.php, in which it starts the look up and I found this strange long select....

sql("SELECT `clients`.`ClientID` as 'ClientID', `clients`.`NFiscal` as 'NFiscal', `clients`.`NCom` as 'NCom', `clients`.`contacto` as 'contacto', `clients`.`CIF` as 'CIF', `clients`.`direccion` as 'direccion', `clients`.`codpost` as 'codpost', `clients`.`ciudad` as 'ciudad', `clients`.`provincia` as 'provincia', `clients`.`pais` as 'pais', `clients`.`telefono` as 'telefono', `clients`.`email` as 'email', `clients`.`website` as 'website', `clients`.`comments` as 'comments', IF( CHAR_LENGTH(`Comercial1`.`ComID`) || CHAR_LENGTH(`Comercial1`.`nombre`), CONCAT_WS('', `Comercial1`.`ComID`, '-', `Comercial1`.`nombre`), '') as 'ComID', IF( CHAR_LENGTH(`Comercial1`.`nombre`), CONCAT_WS('', `Comercial1`.`nombre`), '') as 'resp_nombre', IF( CHAR_LENGTH(`Comercial1`.`apellido`), CONCAT_WS('', `Comercial1`.`apellido`), '') as 'resp_apellido' FROM `clients` LEFT JOIN `Comercial` as Comercial1 ON `Comercial1`.`ComID`=`clients`.`ComID` WHERE `clients`.`ClientID`='$id' limit 1", $eo);

while on appgini app generator on the origin field it is set as Default (show all records on parent table)

Where does all this long select comes from????
I have version 5.42 revision 764

Thank you

autofill file is used for populating auto-fill lookup fields. The query above retrieves all fields from the parent record and then responds to the request with the values needed to populate the auto-fill lookup. The reason for retrieving all fields is for efficiency as the same file is used for all autofill fields, and writing a separate query for each field would cause unnecessary code complexity.
