"Validate from list" property does not work [message #152617]

Hi All

I am using Forms 6
I created an LOV, which retrieves the data using a record group.

I attached a text item that gets the value from the LOV and set the "Validate from list" to Y.

When I enter a wrong value and get to another field in the screen the LOV opens automatically -so far so good.

BUT when I press the Save button on the toolbar in my application the invalid data is inserted into the DB and the LOV does not opened as it should.

What can be the problem?

Thanks

I have some more information:
The 'Save' button also calls to

validate(record_scope);

. If I remark this call then the LOV is working correctly.

Does 'validate' function and 'validate from list' property have some collision?
how can I overcome the problem?

Thanks

I have more information.

I created the field from beginning and the problem with the validate is not relevant any more.

I have another field that is Synchronized with my text item. when I remove this synchronization the LOV is OK. but when I put it back the the LOV is not working as it should...

Please HELP

Select the name of your form in the items list, open the property list and tell use the 'validation scope' of your form.

Hi David,

As for you question:
The 'Validation Unit' property of my form = Item.
what does it means?

BUT I think I have the solution:
My save procedure is as follow:

PROCEDURE TEL_SAVE IS
  IT_NAME VARCHAR2(40);
BEGIN
  IT_NAME := :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM;
  validate(record_scope);
  if NOT(form_success)  then
    go_item(IT_NAME);
  else 
    DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM');
  END IF;
END;

If I only leave the DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM'); in my procedure, then the LOV is working fine. I saw that the 'COMMIT_FORM' do the validation on the record scope automatically, so I am not losing validation. Am I right?

I do not understand why it is happening when you I call to the validate procedure specifically, but now it is finely working...
