While running a method OnFormPopulated, I reference the list document.thisItem.node.childNodes to get an overview of the properties of the current item.
This NodeList contains all elements on first load, however, when a lock/unlock action subsequently triggers the event, the list is missing several properties.
I.e. when the form loads the list contains all properties of the item but after locking/unlocking the item it will contain only some of them.
I haven't been able to find a common factor between the remaining or discarded properties.
Here is a simple test case:
1. Create a method TestPropsMissingOnLockUnlock:
console.log(document.thisItem.node.childNodes);
2: On an ItemType's form, attach it as a Form event with Event = OnFormPopulated
3: Open the item and check the logs.
My tests:
Test 1: Opening an unlocked item
Step 1.1: Opened the item
Logged result: NodeList(71) [..........]
Step 1.2: Locked the item
Logged result: NodeList(38) [..........]
Step 1.3: Unlocked the item
Logged result: NodeList(37) [..........]
Test 2: Opening a locked item
Step 2.1: Opened the item
Logged result: NodeList(71) [..........]
Step 2.2: Unlocked the item
Logged result: NodeList(37) [..........]
Step 2.3: Locked the item
Logged result: NodeList(38) [..........]
Why is this? And how can I ensure that I get all properties even when on subsequent OnFormPopulated triggers?
My current workaround is to check if we're still looking at the same item, and if so, store the nodeList to the window object and use that upon lock/unlock ...
