Hello,
Eager to use user interface defaults, but not everything seems to work as expected (desired ). Did the following testing on apex.oracle.com (19.2) & locally on 19.1:
Setup: Create Attribute User Interface Default definitions (but I believe that Table defaults have the same problems) for LABEL, FORMAT (both form and report), HELP TEXT
Tests:
1) Create Form page, IR report and IG report from the - with Create an Application functionality + Add page
Result: No User Interface Defaults Applied; No option to specify to use interface defaults
No surprises really here as there is no option to specify.
2) Creating A Page within an existing application - Form, IR, IG (Note: Used User Interface Defaults radio button set to yes)
Results:
a) Form: works perfect - label, format and help text applied
b) Interactive Report: works partially - label and format is correct, but help text is not transferred at all
c) Interactive Grid: does not work (tried from table, sql - defaults are not applied)
Can somebody confirm my findings? We are creating IR and IG reports interchangeably (IR we need so that we can link to the report + link with filter, otherwise would be doing IG only). Questioning the time spent creating User Interface Defaults if they are applied inconsistently + we really need the help text to be standardized and applied to report variables as well - user interface defaults seemed a perfect solution.
Any input appreciated. Thank you.
