Invalid Property Value Error

The Invalid Property Value error is issued in the following situations:

Message

<property> must be set in <element>

Cause

There's a mandatory property in <element> that you haven't set. For example, the Destination property in a Link widget.

Recommendation

Set a value in the mandatory property.

Message

'Default Value' must be set to a <literal> literal

Cause

The Default Value property must be a literal. You can't set the property with an expression as, for example: 1 + 1.

Recommendation

Edit the Default Value property of the element and set a literal value.

In all the elements (except Session Variables and Site Properties), you can use one of the following built-in functions as default value: NullDate(), NullIdentifier, NullObject(), NullTextIdentifier(), CurrDate(), CurrTime(), CurrDateTime(), and NewLine().

Message

'<property>' cannot be set to the content of a widget

Cause

You have a Record widget that is populated with the content of another widget or the widget itself. For example a Show Record widget whose Source Record is TableRecords1.List.Current.

Recommendation

Edit the Source Record or Source Record List (depending on the widget), and use a variable that's not a runtime property of any of the widgets available on the screen. You must use local variables, queries, or lists evaluated in the Screen Preparation.
