Suitecrm: Security Group selection only works for AJAX disabled modules

[gunnicom]

Issue

In Security Groups Settings you can check "Use Creator Group Select".
If checked, on record create you should be able to select the groups if the creator is member of multiple groups. The selection box only appears on ajax disabled modules.

Expected Behavior

Selection Box should appear with ajax enabled modules, too.

Actual Behavior

No selection box on create record.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a user to more than one group
2. Check "Use Creator Group Select" in Security Suite settings.
3. Create a new record in an ajax enabled module (Notes, Tasks, Contacts ...)
4. No selection box appears
5. Disable ajax for that module
6. Create a new record
7. Selection for groups appears on bottom of page

Here's a preliminary look at the flow of the relevant code:

It seems this function is called in an after-save hook:
https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/master/modules/SecurityGroups/AssignGroups.php#L7

Then this sets a securitygroups_popup array in the $SESSION variables, which seems to be picked up at this other function called popup_onload which launches the pop-up:

https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/master/modules/SecurityGroups/AssignGroups.php#L64

This comment in that function references the problem:

So it's a know issue, but one that would be nice to be able to overcome....

Yes. Or if not at least gets documented.

Maybe the problem of this bug #4565 is same as in your ticket
Should i close my ticket or is it difference issue ???

[gunnicom]

@Mausino When i understand your bug, you already assigned the groups. This issue here is that if you create a new record no select box would appear to choose the assigned group.

It works for me [at the top :)]

[pgorod]

@zoltankocsardi just checking, have you tried it in 7.8? That's what the original bug report was for...

[zoltankocsardi]

@pgorod yes, I've checked it under 7.8.8

[gunnicom]

I will retry tomorrow and close here if it appears to be gone.

Seems to not happen anymore, i will close this for now.
