Environment Pulldown Options: 'Edit' icon
We use a Environment variable of type 'Pulldown List' for our WAS cluster names (over 80 clusters and growing).
When managing the individual name/value pairs in the "Pulldown Options" tab, the mouse-over 'Edit' icon for "Options" (New Option Above, New Option Below, Move to Top, Move To..., etc) does not pop-up after the 50th entry in the list. This makes it difficult to maintain the list in order; I have to add a new item to the top of the list (where the pop-up is operable), and then count what slot it needs to be moved to, then use the "Move To..." to move it there. And once it gets placed anywhere past the 50th entry, it cannot be managed anymore via the browser, so misplaced entries are there to stay. I have tried: maximizing the browser frame for the Pulldown Options, resizing the browser window, IE and Firefox, but the behavior is consistent. Is there any way to make the mouse-over pop-up operable for every item in the Pulldown Options list, regardless of number of items in the list? Can the options be managed via API code? I would do so as last resort. BuildForge 7.1.1.4 Thanks, |

you should open a PMR on this. I can see why a limit might have been placed on that as a preventative measure, but your use case is valid and for you this is clearly a defect.
The PHP ui does almost everything through the API, so you should be able to modify these entries through the API. Check the API docs for the EnvironmentEntry object. |

This previous topic has some code using the Perl services layer that could be the start of a script for you. Brent Ulbricht Developer/Lead - RTC Build |

I will pursue the PMR and in the meantime will look to manage via the API. Regards, |
