Thread: Set Default for Owner owner lookup on Insert Defect

Set Default for Owner owner lookup on Insert Defect Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I am trying to set the owner lookup to a specific team on the insert defect screen. I am able to set a custom owner lookup (a field called reported_by) with this code (lookup shows up on form prepopulated as desired):
newDefect.Reported_by="N6UJ9....";
I can't find Owner listed anywhere in the entity properties. So I made the defects.seccodeid visible as this is where profiler seems to be inserting that field to and am trying to use the following code to populate the existing Owner lookup:
newDefect.Seccodeid="F6UJ9...."; //valid team id
The owner lookup still shows up as owned by 'Everyone' and throws this error on save when I try to set it through code: Invalid index 12 of this OleDbParameterCollection with Count&H12.
To populate the owner lookup I also tried similar things as:
newDefect.Owner="F6UJ9....";
newDefect.Owner.Id="F6UJ9....";
newDefect.Owner=Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById ("F6UJ9....");
newDefect.Owner.Id=Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetB yId("F6UJ9....");
newDefect.SeccodeId=Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.Get ById("F6UJ9....");
Any thoughts?

You should see Owner under the Child Properties for the defect... the way to set it would be something like (add angle brackets as needed):
newDefect.Owner = EntityFactory.GetById IOwner ("F6UJ9...")

Don't set the Seccodeid directly because this will confuse NHibernate (this is when you might get errors such as "Invalid index in OleDbParameterCollection" - basically it tries to add the field twice)
At least this is the way it worked with other entities - I have not worked with the Defect entity yet. In my case I have it running as a "Post" step of the OnCreate event (this is on the Opportunity entity though so might be a bit different). Another thought is make sure there isnt a stock SLX business rule that runs after yours and resets it. The default "OnCreate" rule on the Defect entity will set the Owner to Everyone. Also, if you are setting it in an event handler on the form, it is possible that the databinding is overwriting your value. If you do it as an event handler on the entity itself you should not have this problem. Unfortunately these can be very hard to track down!
