S-Control in a solution

Hello,
 
We are trying to create a custom S-control on a solution record that will fill in certain fields when selected. I created the following S-control but for some reason it does not work. No errors are given it simply displays the "Solution updating" message and nothing else happens. If I comment out the line in blue below the code will function and return to the original solution record but of course this does not update the solution.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

From visual inspection only, I think the problem might be that instead of:

myCase.set("Solution_SolutionNote","Test Solution Template");

You should use:

myCase.set("SolutionNote","Test Solution Template");

However, in general it's good practice to put this kind of stuff inside throw try/catch blocks so you can see what kind of errors you get.

Good luck, Steve Bower
