updatecol list plugin

[skyrun]

this is a really neat plugin. i think i found a bug in it.

if an element that is available for user selection has a filter on it, then the FILTER input is used instead of the form input.

For example, if i have a date on my list, and that date has a filter that is 'range', then when it appears on the update list, it asks me to update date to between [date] and [date]. vs. just asking me to type the date. updating the date to a range makes no sense of course.

for example, if i have filter = none on element 'cmpl by date' and filter = range on element 'date completed'. it wants me to update date completed to a range... which wouldn't be possible.

Yup, pretty old issue.

Yup, and unlikely to get fixed. The update_col plugin piggybacks on the advanced search to render the view that allows the user to select and set the elements. It would require some major surgery to change that.
