#1145 - Reports do not work and Bad Data received

Closed Bug? created by stephentew 6 years ago

After setting up reports and starting to use them we noticed that they are rendering incorrectly. Below are the details

Analytic Reporting renders incorrect SQL for droplist values that have a single leading digit followed by an underscore

t0.sales_stage IN('m1_Lead' , 'm2_Discovery' , 'm3_Qualified' , 'm4_Proposal' , 'm5_Contract' , 'Closed_No_Oppty' , 'Closed_Nurturing' , 'Closed_Won' , 'Closed_Won_not_in_Pipeline' , 'Closed_Inactive' , 'Closed_Lost' , 'Pilot')

So the issue initially appeared to be caused by leading numeric values since it does not affect ‘Closed_Won’ or any of the other non-numeric entries.

The droplist in SuiteCRM for this field is defined as this:

$GLOBALS['app_list_strings']['sales_stage_dom']=array ( '' => '', '1_Lead' => '1. Lead', '2_Discovery' => '2. Discovery', '3_Qualified' => '3. Qualified', '4_Proposal' => '4. Proposal', '5_Contract' => '5. Contract', 'Closed_No_Oppty' => 'Closed - No Oppty', 'Closed_Nurturing' => 'Closed - Nuturing', 'Closed_Won' => 'Closed - Won', 'Closed_Won_not_in_Pipeline' => 'Closed - Won (not in Pipeline)', 'Closed_Inactive' => 'Closed Inactive', 'Closed_Lost' => 'Closed Lost', 'Pilot' => 'Pilot', );

So the “m” being prepended is not coming from there. I’ve found leading numerics on a couple of other droplists, but I finally discovered that the magic is when the database key looks like this: #_ABC (meaning a single digit, followed by a single underscore, followed by any string). When this occurs, the prefix “m” is prepended. See the fragment below from where I selected these values:

t0.sales_stage IN('m1_Lead' , 'm2_Discovery' , 'm3_Qualified' , 'm4_Proposal' , 'm5_Contract' , 'Closed_No_Oppty' , 'Closed_Nurturing' , 'Closed_Won' , 'Closed_Won_not_in_Pipeline' , 'Closed_Inactive' , 'Closed_Lost' , 'Pilot')

<...>

AND t3.ehr_percent_c IN('m0_25' , '26_50' , '51_75' , '76_100')

    Hello Stephen,

    Thank you for detailed description of the issue! Can you please also tell us, just to be sure - is this issue observed on the PRO version? Or is it also on the Basic? (We can see, you are trying both).

    Thank you!

    Best Regards, IT Sapiens Team

      Quick update: Our tool is not very happy with the digit and underscore prefixes because we use something similar in our internal logic. The issue is quite clear and we should have a fix soon and will keep you updated.
