Strange behaviour - Empty pane items
« on: May 01, 2008, 09:00:50 am »

Hi all!

Inspired by this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=44021.0, I wanted to try to fix my [Artists] approach again.

So I have [Artist] as pure string, and copy this into [Artists] while also edit all vs., feat, presents etc into ; so it I would be able to find all featured artists for every record.

Since [Artists] needs to be manually maintained, I wanted to make it display [Artist] if [Artists] was empty, but only then.

So i made a [Featured Artists] field, by the following expression:
Code: [Select]
If(IsEmpty([Artists]),[Artist],[Artists])&DataType=[List]
This made it work quite as hoping, with the following exeptions:
- some of the list items does not show the tracks it is supposed to. When clicking it in the pane, it shows no results.
- With a search, when clicking the "first letter of [Featured Artists]" pane, it shows a much wider result suddenly.

I guess I have misunderstood something, but cant put my finger on it... Advices would be much appreciated.
