Data Browser domain lists are empty if property name includes one of the three Danish/Norwegian letters ÆØÅ

Offline wirring over 8 years ago

After a support request from one of our users, we have realized that the data browser acts strangely with domain list in properties with names include æø and å , It simply shows an empty domian list,

There is no problem in the Edit function, here the domain lists works perfectly.

We have tested both version SS3 and SS4 and the problem exists on both version, however we are no sure that this problem have existed in all previous versions.

We are fully aware of the possibility of using Display Name with correct Danish spelling and let the Name have a spelling striped for Danish letters. But there is both a life before Bentley Map, when Features and Properties are collected in the field by our Trimble equipment, and there is a life after Bentley Map, where data has to be delivered to the costumer.
Then there are all the project all ready measured and on there way through the system, so it is not an easy task just to change the names of all the properties containing ÆØÅ ( all three are vowels and third of all vowels in Danish!!)
But we try to avoid using those letters in new project all so because we have realized that we cannot use properties including those three letters in criterias.

Hello Erik,

Thank you for your email. I realize now I have misread your post. Sorry about that.

I am now able to reproduce the issue with accented character (read non-English character) in the property name. I was able to reproduce the issue with Nordic and Latin specific characters. I reported it to internal instance as a defect.

As workaround, to avoid the issue, I will suggest to use Display Name option for each properties name with accented characters. For instance, property name could be set to "brond" and display name to "brønd".

Thanks you for reporting this behavior.

I hope that helps.

Hi Sebastien

I have send you a mail with a design file and the matching GSA metadata xml file and a longer explanation . Your schema 'danville.xml' seems not to address our problem.

Erik,

I do not reproduce the issue on my side. Is the combo box have some specific options enabled as Required or Initial value or Blank entry? Could you sent me a sample schema of case you reported here ? I am curious and that will be helpful to me, maybe, to target the behavior you reported here.

Thank you very much.
