An XPage Computed multi-value column will not behave as categorized as it does in the Notes Client

I have a simple formula in my notes view categorized multi-value column (column 2) which pulls values from several other text fields and makes a string list out them:

@Unique( @Trim( ProjTesters : projDITTesters : projTechLead : projDevelopers : projBA : projPM ))

When I view the result in the Notes Client, the column displays categorized properly. However, in the Xpage View Container, it appears to be flat.

Also, I mention here that column 1 is a Total column whose value is 1 with Hide Detail Rows checked.

Qty in Column 1

Is there a way to do make the computed category render as a category in the browser? Hasn't anyone else run into this problem?

Solution

  • When You specify the "value" attribute for a viewPanel column that is categorized, You also have to specify the "columnName" property. Otherwise it will not know that column is a category.
