As discussed in this community thread, an object field may disappear after applying a previousily created bookmark (bookmark created with option "Save layout" checked).
- Create a sheet and add a table object on that sheet
- Publish the qvf
- Ask an "end user" to open that qvf, do some selections, change order to columns etc...
- Then create/save a bookmark with option "Save layout" checked.
- As app-owner, modify the table and add a new field/column.
- Publish the qvf again
- Ask "end user" to open the same app again, apply his previously created bookmark => added new field will disappear after bookmark is applied.
Resolution
Defect "QB-19322" was reported to R&D but was closed as WAD (working as designed) with the following explaination.
------------
This is WAD (working as designed).
When you store layout state you create a patch on the table that restores the appearance of the table to the way it was when the bookmark was saved, this means that changes coming in later will not be visible when the bookmark is used.
The patch is cleared when the session ends, or if you apply a bookmark with another layout state (but not if you apply a bookmark without layout state or change the selections).
If the user needs the new columns, the best (or only) way is to recreate the bookmark with the new content visible.
