    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.
