Bug In Fact Tab Override for Witnesses??

Post by edmacke »

I'm try to override Facts Tab sentences for Residence and something doesn't seem right with the witness functionality.

Notice how my Residence Fact Definition has "{other=resident}>" specified in both the Sentence Template and Facts Tab Template, but it's only populated for the Sentence Template (and ignored for Facts Tab Template)?

By contrast, specifying "{other=principal,resident}" for the Resident Role's Witness Sentence Template and Witness Facts Tab Template works in both cases (see next post)

Yes, that looks like a bug to me, and should be reported to Calico Pie.

In the meantime the workaround is to substitute:
< with {%FACT._SHAR[1]>%}><, {%FACT._SHAR[2]>%}><, {%FACT._SHAR[3]>%}><, {%FACT._SHAR[4]>%}> and so on...

Thanks, Mike!

Can you remind me again how to report a bug?

Is there any way to just re-post this forum post as a bug report?

It's always helpful to Calico if you can send a small project (with no media) which shows the problem (just the 5 or 6 people in the fact) along with the fact set you are using.

In general I agree but in this case the FH Sample Project has plenty of examples of Residence Fact Witnesses and this thread clearly shows the settings for the Standard Fact Set and the symptoms in the screenshots.
