changing filed type in pluginConfig, keeps old type

1. have a check box field with true / false

2. changing the checkbox field to a menu field

It looks to me as if: the newly defined field still thinks it is a true/false field and does not remember menu items selected when config is saved and reopened.

had:
Code: Select all
    <Field    id="unifiCloudKeyMode"       type="checkbox"  defaultValue="true"            > <Label>.. use controler info:</Label>
    </Field>

changed to:
Code: Select all
    <Field    id="unifiCloudKeyMode"       type="menu"  defaultValue="ONreportsOnly"            > <Label>.. use controler info:</Label>
        <List>
            <Option value="ON"             >ON </Option>
            <Option value="off"            >off</Option>
            <Option value="ONreportsOnly"  >ON, reports Only</Option>
        </List>
    </Field>

after changing the name to a new filed name everything works.

I think you are dealing with the UI issue that requires you to quit the client and restart it to get that change. I run into that every once in a long while and I know it has come up relatively recently in the forums.

Yes, I think C4W is right. This is a caching problem at the Indigo Client level so a client restart should get it working.
