Adding new list failure

Monpero · November 2023

Hi guys,

I have a system generated numbered list concatenated with an attribute. It is marked as a PROD list.

I created a form in the NUX to enable the user to add into the list but I keep getting failure

What could be the issue and is there a workaround to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi @innocent,

Is the list marked as able to be modified by the assigned user role? If not, they won't be able to modify it.

Check out the Users' menu, Role —> List tab. If the list is not checked to be editable by the role, they'll get a failure. There may be other reasons why this is occurring, but that would be the first place to look.

Good luck!

Hi @Stacey_Gibbens thanks for the response, the user role has not been assigned yet. I myself being a workspace admin, I'm getting the error. I don't understand the reason and I've checked in Anapedia on creating a list using a form but can't find any solution to it.

Out of curiosity, do you have the 'Full Access' role on top of WSA?

Otherwise, there's currently a bug with forms where if you re-enter the same code for a numbered list, it triggers a roll-back and fails the create. This doesn't appear to be an issue on non-numbered lists where you just rely on the 'Name'.

When using forms to add to a list (where the code can be entered), users can accidently re-enter an existing code which triggers a model roll back, as it's considered a duplicate.

There's also no notification the model is rolling back so it looks like the app is spinning its wheels. This leads to confusion and potentially the user trying again (to no avail and another roll back).

Ideally, there should be some form of exception handling to prevent this scenario, including,
- notification that the code is already in use, and
- the option to accept that the data (inclusive of parent-child relationship) will be updated, or
- the option to cancel the process from running all together.

Can you confirm whether in your test, you've already got an item with the same code? Would explain the failure if you do.

Hi @luke_e thanks for the response I have 'Full Access' role on top of WSA. The codes is continuous numeric so I start entering codes after the last numeric code e.g the last code is 1077 so when I enter 1078 it fails even tried a different larger number as 2000.

I think there is a bug in Anaplan.

Thanks for the help.
