A strange Magritte issue - smallwiki

22 May 2007

Hello,

I have a model class called ALServiceContact that is using Magritte,  
like I am with my other model classes. This class has 6 descriptions  
(string, memo, 3 single options, and a date). Two of the  
MASingleDescription descriptions use a list of other model objects as  
their options. One points to a list of providers and one to a list of  
customers.

The Magritte form builds (asValidatedForm) and displays as I expect,  
but when I try to save it, Magritte is giving me validation messages  
for descriptions from a different class.

The class I am getting the validation messages from is called  
ALCustomer, and is only involved with ALServiceContact through:

ALServiceContact class>>descriptionClient
	^ (MASingleOptionDescription new)
		selectorAccessor: #client;
		label: 'Client';
		priority: 20;
		options: ALStorage rootOrg customers;
		reference: ALCustomer  description;
		comment: 'A Customer';
		yourself

on the ALCustomer class, I have required fields for four  
descriptions, and these are the messages I get:

Status: Invalid input given
Title: Input is required but no input given
Organization: Invalid input given
Email: Input is required but no input given

...when I try to save an ALServiceContact created with:

add
	|contact|
	contact := self call: (ALServiceContact new asComponent  
addValidatedForm; yourself).
	contact isNil
		ifFalse: [
			self contactManager addContact: contact.
			self report refresh]

Of course, ALServiceContact doesn't even have those descriptions.

Very Strange stuff!

Any thoughts?
