Hi,

I’m using Bonita bpm 6.2.2 on windows 7 OS, running on Firefox browser

I’ m having the fallowing error: “Error while getting the form page list”.

Changing the text field to a drop down list on a form.

When I change a text field type to the select type and set the output operation to take the value of select field then run the form I keep on getting the above error.

Any advice on what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

America

What did the "Validation Status" of the form says?

Hi Declan,

I have tried removing (via the erase button) the return values for my select widget and then selecting them again from the dropdown list as you suggested but still getting the error.

Thanks

Hi America,

can you post the log file here as a comment to this thread. I'm also trying to think of the best way to get a look at the process - do you have a dropbox (or somewhere) you can share the bar file?

thx,

Hi Declan,

Thank you so much for your help.

I get this error after running the process and landing on the firefox web browser. it only says "Error while getting the form page list" on the browser. Im not sure how to get any more log for this.

Here is the dropbox link with my process for now its just a small start as im new to bonita and will need to expand soon for my Univesity project.

Hope this is what you meant when you said bar file as my file is .bos

Thanks

This one is the BEST answer!

Hi America,

so i took a look at the bos file you left on dropbox - thanks for that - and the problem appears to be the empty list (specifically called "empty_list" in the available values box on the data tab of the details panel.

1. click on the select box called Milestone

2. click on the data tab in the details panel

3 click on the pencil to the right of the Available Values field

4. with the expression type as Script, enter ["one", "two"] into the large text area.

the problem is that the studio populates the value "empty_list" into the available values, but when you try to run the process, it doesn't resolve to anything, so it throws an error. you need to specify what those values are.

Hi America,

sometimes the error messages are not very clear. This one is sometimes the result of a badly formed return value in the data tab. 6.2.2 uses refactoring to cascate updates to related objects, but sometimes data types are not updated.

Try removing (via the erase button) the return values for your select widget and then selecting them again from the dropdown list.
