[Vtigercrm-developers] Error w. picklists

[Uma S]

Hi,

Thanks! for notification and clear explanation about test-case scenario.

Special characters like comma(,) is not allowed for pick-list values either
during creation of pick-list or while editing through pick-list editor, It
throws warning as special characters not allowed.

During mapping of pick-list through pick-list dependency setup also this
works fine, will display all values of pick-list.

We have tested the above case scenario with latest vtiger 6.2.0 source.

Can you please provide clarification on, how you were able to achieve the
below mentioned point?

*But - if I add the picklist first, and then later under "picklisteditor"
add the values, then I CAN add a value like "Somewhere, sometown,
somecountry" , ie. make "Somewhere, sometown, somecountry" , "Otherewhere,
othertown, othercountry", etc.*
