MLS Bug or Acting as intended?
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:33 pm
We created three custom fields in system options, one for speakers 12-17, one for speakers 18+ and one for Sacrament Prayers. Each is set to be a date that we can fill in for when a person speaks or prays in Sacrament Meeting.
We'd like to create one report that then lists that information. Here's what I did:
Create a Custom Report
Choose Critera -- Custom Field - Speaker 12-17. I then click on more and choose Custom Field - Speaker 18+. I change the Attribute to read OR Speaker 18+. I then click on more and choose Custom Field - Sacrament Prayer. Again I changed it so it reads OR Sacrament Prayer.
This is what I see:
ATTRIBUTE COMPARE VALUE VALUE
Speaker 12-17 HAS A VALUE NULL
or Speaker 18+ HAS A VALUE NULL
or Sacrament Prayer HAS A VALUE NULL
Essentially what I think I am going to get is anyone who has said the prayer OR who has spoken. When I click Save, I get only Speaker 12-17. Odd, right? So I go back in to the Criteria Screen and this is what it looks like:
ATTRIBUTE COMPARE VALUE VALUE
Speaker 12-17 HAS A VALUE NULL
or Speaker 12-17 HAS A VALUE NULL
or Speaker 12-17 HAS A VALUE NULL
As you can see my three attributes I am testing on get replaced by the first attribute listed. This happens over and over. I can't get my three testing criteria to stay! Is this normal behavior?
