Error description
When dropping a variable of type List into a Vertical Section, a table is created, and unnecessary binding is setting on the Vertical Section. But because the table itself handles the repeating nature of the data, so the vertical section should not have any binding set on it.
Local fix
Clear the binding on the vertical section that is holding the table.
Problem summary
When a user drops a list-typed variable into an unbound section in the coach view canvas, and a table is created, the editor also binds the section to the list variable item. The end result is that at runtime, multiple tables exist with the same content (table number equals the number of rows in each table). USER AFFECTED: Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express Coach authors dropping a list-typed variable into an unbound section in the coach view canvas, which in turn creates a table. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: This issue is certainly caused by superfluous bindings on the vertical sections, and it is a small issue with the editor. When dropping a variable of type list into the section, a table is created. The table itself handles the repeating nature of the data, so the vertical section should not have any binding set on it. There are other cases where it is desirable to set the binding on the vertical section. For example, if you create a section, then drop BO01List.currentItem into it, then ideally the vertical section gets set to the repeating data, BO01List[], and the proper controls are created and bound for the data within currentItem, such as a text box for BO01List.currentItem.String1. This behaviour is indeed working properly. The issue is that this logic is bleeding to cases where it is not needed. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The fix is to detect when a table will be created, and avoid setting the binding on the section containing the new table. FIX AVAILABILITY: Fix for V8 is planned for next cumulative maintenance deliverable and release.
