[jira] Created: (MYFACES-1696) varDetailToggler not functioning properly when sorting table

varDetailToggler not functioning properly when sorting table
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MYFACES-1696
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1696
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 1.1.5
            Reporter: Stephen Cooper
            Priority: Critical


Assume a table which has expandable details.  There are three rows: C, B and A.
If you expand the details for A, and then sort on the name, (so that the rows are now A, B and C)
then after sorting, it's the details for C which are expanded.

This would be considered a minor bug except that if the expanded details include user input controls (e.g. text input).  If the user expands the details and enters data for A, then sort, the user entered data is now applied to row C instead of A.

I'm using MyFaces this in a healthcare system, and this could lead to patient safety issues - e.g. comments entered for the wrong medication.

[jira] Commented: (MYFACES-1696) varDetailToggler not functioning properly when sorting table

Stephen Cooper commented on MYFACES-1696:
-----------------------------------------

As it turns out, sorting tables which have input components appears to be a dangerous thing to do in MyFaces.  E.g. we have drop-down lists in our table, and if you enter data then sort (causing a form submission), the selections are applied to the wrong rows.
