Exactly the same when we talk about countries, regions, cities....
IF your view shows a determined country, you have in the filter for Regions all regions in all countries. Once you selected the region, then you have all cities in all regions.
Must be a dynamic filtering, making only possible to select the filter for the available data shown in the current view.
I agree with above, and would just like to add an argument to the decission making. We are 7 weeks into our use of BC with +30 users and even though we have been thorough with user rights management too many users can still change a customer or an item and does so by accident every day...
Especially customer name and item name seems to disappear because the user often places the cursor in this field so a simple backspace, delete or as the text in the field is already highlighted any normal key and the original text is exchanged for a letter or nothing...
Undo very often fixes the situation but why have the drama if already existing functionality just have to be either defined in rights, setup or even as a part of "Personalize". EVEN BETTER why not just save my choice so if i press the pencil in the top to toggle between read and edit, then let me start in same mode as I left that view or table in last time I was there.
Basically just give me a choice - no matter how or where.
I think a real improvement must be implemented related to this. When we have BigText and BLOB data types, we should have an out of the box solution to store data in this type of fields, like a TextArea, Multiline (more than 3 lines), WYSIWYG control, etc.
The extended text functionality just doesnt cover this need. We have a limit per line, so you will never be able to store a proper product description for example, like you see in most of online shops.
Right now I'm wrinting this post in a WYSIWYG control. I miss one of this in the OutOfTheBox business central, so I can easily make a customization , and save BigText/BLOB data in any table. I would love to have a text editor like this in a Standard Dialog.
I'm having a hard time, trying to explain to my customers that Business Central hasn't got a proper "Web Description" field in the Item Card.
