Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue while trying to add work order details to the database table via the Work Order table in Ignition. Specifically, the "Save" button becomes invisible when I attempt to do so.

Could you please provide guidance or corrective actions to resolve this issue?

Thanks,  
Chirag k.

Is this on the Sepasoft Module?

@ckotadiya It looks like that work order name has already been used. If that work order doesn't show in the component, it may have been closed.

You can use the 'Show Closed Work Order' property to see if it was used in the past. Make sure to set the Closed Begin/End dates if using that property.

Hi jesse.records,

I checked the "Show Closed Work Orders" property. WO is not used in the previous records.  
with set closed start/finish dates.

need to check snap for your reference.

Hello @ckotadiya

Can you please delete "New Work Order" and try again?

Hi jesse.records,

Thanks for the update; it works after deleting "New Work Order" from the table.

But one thing: why can't I add a new "WO" with a different name where "New Work Order" already exists in the table?

@ckotadiya

It looks like there was an issue with the way we first check for a duplicate where New Work Order is the default.

This is only an issue in Vision. The perspective Work Order component does not have the issue.
