Al: Unable to provide a valid identifier to Repeater control

[GreatScott000]

Getting the warning below on what would appear to be all my repeater controls but only in one project (in the same workspace as 5 others). Regardless of what I change the identifier to it always produces a warning. I have tried Bob, Control1, Group, "Accidents" serveral unprintable words, nothing seems to be accepted but only in 1 project????.

Any suggestions.

The repeater 'Accidents' is not supported by the Web client.

Repeaters are not supported for pages of type Card, Document or ListPlus, I assume this is why you see this warning only for the one project. We will treat this as a bug to improve the error message.

In previous version of AL this wasn't detected, that's why it started to popup today. Just change PageType to "List" as it should be when you have a repeater

[GreatScott000]

@JohanStenberg100 thank you for improving the message.

The issues were that the PageType was incorrect or not specified. This extension was built from older custom code that we inherited. There are a few pages the that have an "embedded" repeater control on a card type page. I will have to move these to a ListPart I guess. Thanks @larswestman for the recommendation.

ListPlus indicates it is a list. How can you have a list without a repeater??

The List page has different behavior when you use it in loopup mode. The ListPlus starts in edit mode and allows us to use it as a selector (with a Ok and Cancel button) and the List page starts in view mode.

@GreatScott000 is it clear what is happening here? Can I close this as by-design or is there more information that we can provide?

[GreatScott000]

@atoader yes, I understand and you can close this.

Thanks! I'll close it.
