Hi all,
Our team is in the process of converting from legacy/old dashboards, to NUX and one feature that holds a lot of promise are the NUX forms (for the purposes of adding to lists). The old dashboard style made it a bit clunky for creating new list items with controls and prerequisite inputs, but the forms are definitely a step in the right direction.
However, what I've noticed from testing is that there's no control to prevent a duplicate code from being entered and triggering a model rollback.
In my scenario, the form would be used for creating a project (via a numbered list) using a unique project code, as well as a name, default subset, parent and a few other fields which for the most part works quite well.
Where this falls over is that if a user accidently/intentionally enters the same project code (which is used as the numbered list code), the model rolls back because it detects a duplicate. There's also no notification the model is rolling back so it looks like the app is spinning its wheels.
In the old UX, we had a module which had some controls (like a FINDITEM() to detect if the code already existed), but there doesn't appear to be anything in place to prevent this kind of scenario.
We could create another field for the code input and just let Anaplan rely on it's own numbered list designation, but this feels like a bit of a hack given the true unique ID in our case is the project code.
Ideally, the form should detect the duplicate, block the import and give an error/warning indicating there's already an existing record (or allow it to override the original input/parent-child relationship if deemed appropriate by the page builder/WSA).
Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and was able to get around the rollbacks?
