asadim2 Date field on deleted lookup shows as today (bug?)
Issue: If a parent object is deleted, the Date fields on the now-orphan children show as today in VF when binded using outputFields. If using outputText the proper value (empty) is shown.
Scenario:
2 objects: Car__c is the parent for Part__c
Excerpt from controller (partly pseudo):
Excerpt from VF page (a table with a list of part Names + their corresponding Car info):
The resulting table looks like this:
Scenario:
2 objects: Car__c is the parent for Part__c
Excerpt from controller (partly pseudo):
public Schema.FieldSetMember[] carFields { get; set; }
public Part__c[] parts { get; set; }
public Controller()
{
carFields = list of fields from Fieldset containing Model__c, CreatedDate, Intro_Date__c
parts = [select Name, Car__r.Model__c, Car__r.CreatedDate, Car__r.Intro_Date__c from Part__c];
}
Excerpt from VF page (a table with a list of part Names + their corresponding Car info):
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!parts}" var="part">
<!-- Part Name -->
<apex:column value="{!part.Name}">
<!-- Car Fields -->
<apex:repeat value="{!carFields}" var="f">
<apex:column>
<apex:outputField value="{!part.Car__r[f]}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:repeat>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
The resulting table looks like this:
Name____Model__Created Date__Intro Date ======================================= Gear____Benz___4/9/2013______1/4/2013 Knob____BMW____6/8/2012______6/7/2012 Screw__________5/5/2014______5/5/2014 < CHILD DELETED > Pedal__________5/5/2014______5/5/2014 < CHILD DELETED > Bushing_Audi___3/5/2011______________This seems like a bug to me. Anything I'm missing?
I don't know if this is a bug, but to avoid this kink of issue, I think you should not render the outputFields when there are no parent records, by doing something like:
<apex:outputField value="{!part.Car__r[f]}" rendered="{! !ISBLANK(part.Car__c)}"/> (and by the way, add the field "Car__c" in the soql query in the controller).
