Settings from Submit Point don't work in Checkpoint

Post by JuBaz »

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a checkpoint with the same settings i already use in a submitpoint but it doesn't work as expected. It's the first time I'm setting up a checkpoint so maybe it's just a little setting I might be missing?
I used the "yellow +" for import the settings from the submit point but in the checkpoint it shows just a few fields, if I fill them up some more appear but not all and I would like to have exactly the same appearance as in the submitpoint (see attached screenshots). Also some standard values are missing and I don't have any idea why, if I check the settings for the metadata fields everything looks just like in the submitpoint.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This functionality is clumsy, especially if the submit and check actions are part of different flows. It may also lead to data loss if a loop is executed around the checkpoint, if you mixup the dataset name.

It’s not the quickest method, but I’ve learned the hard way that the safest approach is to recreate the fields entirely and populate them with default values.
If you rename the dataset using the same name (for both submit and checkpoint) without using the yellow + button, it works seamlessly for updating values.
