Quick Change Error

[Matthew P. Plassman]

I'm getting the attached error when trying to perform a quick change. I tried quitting and restarting the program. I tried optimizing. I tried rebuilding all the lists. No luck. I'm running v25.0.0.1220 on Windows 11. Is this an uninstall/reinstall situation? Thanks.

Minor update: this only happens when trying to make a Quick Change on results for a Find search. If I try Quick Change in the usual database listings, I receive no error.

Just to check things off the "to try" list: also just got the build 1228 update - also did not fix the problem.

What Edition of CB are you using (Express, Pro, Archive)?

Will you supply the steps you took?

What were you using Quick Change for?

What Find did you run before the failing Quick Change?

Note: I just tried a simple quick change both on the normal grid and a Find result grid without a problem. I may have worked as I wasn't using the same change you were.

[Matthew P. Plassman]

Sorry, I always forget some bit of information. I'm using Archive.

I'm sorting new comics into my collection, so I'm changing the value in my item custom field of "Storage Box" for items shifting to a new box. I've done this every month for years without trouble.

For example: I did a Find search for items in Storage Box "8." I selected the comics that were shifting to a new box, hit Ctrl+G like always, and I got the error message.

However, when I got out of Find and just went to a regular title page, like Fantastic Four, I selected one item, hit Ctrl+G, things worked perfectly. I selected multiple items on that page, hit Ctrl+G, things worked perfectly.

So I ran the Find results again, but single selection or multiple selection, I still get the error, so it's only a problem when I'm trying to do a change on the results of a Find search.

I hope that makes sense. I feel like I often try to explain things and fail to make anything clearer.

No, that is more than clear enough.

Specifically you are having a problem with Quick Change on one of the Custom Text columns in a Find result window but not in a regular grid window.

[Matthew P. Plassman]

Yes, sir. Thank you.

[Steven L. Dasinger]

I got the same error as you. Steps taken:
On an empty database, I set Custom Field 1 to 8 for several issues.
This was on the regular grid and worked successfully.
Ran a Find for Custom Field 1 where equal to 8
Selected all the issues and selected Quick Change.
Got the error message.
However, when I clicked 'Continue', it brought up a window with 'Change: Custom Field 1' but 'To:' had a Date filed format of options. (see attached)

Definitely something the programming team will have to fix.

good catch... will notify the programming team

Please check build 1236 and let me know if you can confirm the trouble is fixed for you...

b1236 has fixed the problem. Ran a quick change on a Find result grid successfully.

[Matthew P. Plassman]

Worked for me, too. Thank you for fixing this so fast!
