public boolean validateWrite()  
{  
RF\_IssueTracker issueTracker;  
boolean ret;

ret = super();

if(issueTracker.Remarks != “”)  
{  
issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks = issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks + issueTracker.Remarks;  
}

return ret;  
}

</div>

i think

issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks = issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks + issueTracker.Remarks;

above line

“issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks + issueTracker.Remarks” value is stored in again

issueTracker.PreviewsRemarks

check it once

HI Smiley,

In the table level – override the validatewrite method() as follows

public boolean validateWrite()  
{  
boolean ret;

ret = super();  
this.PreviewsRemarks = (this.Remarks != “” ? this.PreviewsRemarks + " " + this.Remarks : this.PreviewsRemarks );

return ret;  
}
