| TRUE/FALSE | 1 | Override the Bizview logic of retrieving parent values from any existing object tree. Bizview assumes that data is stored for the lowest level in an object tree and parent values are fetched from the object structures. | |
By default, Bizview assumes that values are saved for the lowest level of objects. For example, if an object tree exists for DIVISION-UNIT, then normally only the UNIT value should be saved from the form and the DIVISION is retrieved by evaluating the object tree to see which DIVISION the saved UNIT belongs to.
Bizview automatically evaluates the object trees when retrieving data back to a form (if #plandata is used), which sometimes results in problems getting values back to the form if the designer has built the form with both the DIVISION and UNIT value and these do not match the object tree values.
In some cases the designer wants to always retrieve the saved object values for both parent and child values within an object tree, in other words the designer do NOT want to use the object trees to get parent values. Then this parameter can be set to TRUE and Bizview will not fetch parent values from the object tree, but instead return the saved parent value.
