Bug with CoreRPG 3.3.12 Column List onInit()

Hi,

Been having a problem in the Mongoose Traveller ruleset, that some of the 'Padlocks' are appearing on Reference Sheets as Red (correct) yet '_iedit' buttons attached to lists on the sheet are appearing when they shouldn't.

In the CoreRPG code 'common/scripts/column_list.lua' at the top on the onInit(), I've modified it to include debug comments.

Code:

---

function onInit()
    Debug.console('CoreRPG here')
    if isReadOnly() then
        self.update(true);
    else
        local node = getDatabaseNode();
        if not node or node.isReadOnly() then
            Debug.console('CoreRPG here3')
            self.update(true);
            Debug.console('CoreRPG here3.1')
        end
    end
    Debug.console('CoreRPG here4')
end

function isEmpty()
    return (getWindowCount() == 0);
end

function update(bReadOnly, bForceHide)
    Debug.console('CoreRPG update', bReadOnly)
    Debug.console('CoreRPG update', bForceHide)

---

Note that `update` is called with 'True' as the first argument.

However on inspecting the value of `bReadOnly` parameter in the 'update' function, it's been received as 'nil'.

Runtime Notice: Host session started
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG here'
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG here3'
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG update' | nil
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG update' | nil
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG here3.1'
Runtime Notice: s'CoreRPG here4'

If the `self` is removed from the onInit() calls to 'update' then the behaviour is correct.

Cheers,

I just modified by CoreRPG column_list.lua file to the following code; and got the attached messages when opening a record that used list_column template.

Code:

---

function onInit()
        Debug.chat("ON INIT START");
        if isReadOnly() then
                self.update(true);
        else
                local node = getDatabaseNode();
                if not node or node.isReadOnly() then
                        Debug.chat("IS READ ONLY INIT 1");
                        self.update(true);
                        Debug.chat("IS READ ONLY INIT 2");
                end
        end
        Debug.chat("ON INIT END");
end

function isEmpty()
        return (getWindowCount() == 0);
end

function update(bReadOnly, bForceHide)
        Debug.chat("UPDATE", bReadOnly, bForceHide);

Just a reminder that "self" is a reference to the top-level layer of any templates; so if you are layering a script on top of this template either within the control definition or via another template. Then, the top-level layer update function will be called by self.update; not the one in the current file. If no update function is defined in higher layers, then it will fall through to this update call.
