Flare v16 list issues

[sds]

Hi all. Hopefully I'm able to describe this correctly. Version 16 came out with dozens of List enhancements. I'm finding that what I thought was the way to do things must have actually been my workaround to bugs. Here are the changes described in their KB, which I was using previous methods before: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... -Items.htm

So I'm learning some new keystrokes now, but I'm running into a problem with the table inside of a <li>.

In Version 15:

Code: Select all

<ol>
            <li>
                <p>From the Inventory Item Setup window, select <span class="FLSystemReference">Inventory Items | New</span>, or use Ctrl + N.</p>
                <p>
                    <img src="../../../Resources/Images/SetupItemInventory_New.jpg" title="[%=General.ScreenTip%]" alt="[%=General.AlternateText%]" class="Thumbnail" />
                </p>
            </li>
            <li>
                <p>On the Basic Info tab, give the inventory part a unique <span class="FLSystemReference">ID</span>. This might be a manufacturer's part number or an internal part number.</p>
                <p>Choose the <span class="FLSystemReference">Type </span>of inventory. The <span class="FLSystemReference">Type </span>will determine what accounting features will be available for the inventory. See <span class="ReturnForEditing">Managing Inventory</span> to learn more about each type to determine which works best for you.</p>
                <table style="width: 60%;mc-table-style: url('../../../Resources/TableStyles/FieldDefinitions.css');" class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions" cellspacing="0">
                    <col class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-Column-Column1" />
                    <col class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-Column-Column2" />
                    <tbody>
                        <tr class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-Body-Row1">
                            <td class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-BodyE-Column1-Row1">
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal"><span class="FLSystemReference">Stock</span>
                                </p>
                            </td>
                            <td class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-BodyD-Column2-Row1">
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal">Track on-hand quantities, income related to selling the inventory, and expenses related to purchasing the inventory. Use a COGS Entry feature to create necessary adjustments and postings to the general ledger, and assign a calculated cost for inventory kept on stock. </p>
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal">See <span class="ReturnForEditing">Stock Inventory</span> for a complete description. </p>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-Body-Row1">
                            <td class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-BodyB-Column1-Row1">
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal"><span class="FLSystemReference">Non-Stock</span>
                                </p>
                            </td>
                            <td class="TableStyle-FieldDefinitions-BodyA-Column2-Row1">
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal">Track on-hand quantities, income related to selling the inventory, and expenses related to purchasing the inventory. This is the most commonly used <span class="FLSystemReference">Type </span>of Inventory Item. </p>
                                <p class="FLTablesNormal">See <span class="ReturnForEditing">Non-Stock Inventory</span> for a complete description.</p>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </tbody>
                </table>
                <p>******************I'M ABLE TO ADD A P TAG HERE, UNDERNEATH THE TABLE*************************</p>
            </li>
            <li>
                <p>Next list item</p>
            </li>
        </ol>
        

But now in Version 16, when I try to tuck into the <ol> under the </table>, I'm forced to add the next <li> instead of being able to add a new <p> under the same <li> that the table is under.

The release notes related Lists are extensive... Has anyone found this yet? A workaround? Am I missing something?

I think at the point where Flare forces you "to add the next <li>", press Backspace. At least that's the new keyboard shortcut that I've found when I want to have another paragraph under the current list item, instead of a new list item.

Hi Nita! So yes, the Back gets you a new <p> within an <li> - I'd figured that out. I was specifically having trouble getting a new <p> after a <table> within a <li>. Hitting Back doesn't do anything in that case.

I did end up resolving it myself but forgot to delete this post. Using Shift+Enter gets me a new <p> where I want it. Example:

<ol>
<li>
<p>Content</p>
<p>Content</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Content</p>
<table>Table contents</table>
<p>The paragraph I was trying to get in the XML Editor</p>
</li>
</ol>

In Version 15, I could arrow down just under the </table>, focused inside the <li>, and hit Enter and I would still end up with a <p> under the same <li>. But in Version 16, it was forcing me to a new <li> in the sequence. After leaving it for awhile and playing around it I found Shift+Enter gets me the new <p>.

I find this hilarious because I work in software and I know how people get so dependent on keystrokes and their methods. Changing one tiny thing in an update can throw someone for a loop! And today I was on the other end of that. Anyway, thanks for the response!

***EDIT: Also, for anyone else who uses lists a lot, they did update their documentation on it: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... -Items.htm
