Bug? Form Layout: Linked From Form Field and Tab Order

[scneophyte]

Steps to Repeat:

1. Setup tab order for several fields on a form
2. Include a “Link from Form” field in the middle of the form
3. Test the tab order

Expected behavior: Link from Form field is included in the tab order
Actual behavior: Link from Form fields are excluded from the tab order
TP5 version: 5.1.4.1660

Hi Scneophyte,

That’s right. A Link From Form field is not an input field, so it doesn’t get a tab order. Basically anything that’s comprised of an NSTextField or an NSTextView can get focus.

Thanks for the reply! I understand that it may not be considered an input field from a programmatic standpoint but, from a user standpoint, I am entering data into that field by selecting the parent form.

Therefore, my data input efficiency is reduced and the possibility for data input errors increase by not being able to include the two Linked from Form fields in the tab order.

Just my $0.02, not a critical issue.
