Little possible flaw in VUA-210 solution
Hi,
For VUA-210 I have introduced something new in OFBiz. It works but there is a little flaw. It's not due to this enhancement but to
the nature of the problem at hand. And is, I guess, mostly the reason why this has not been tempted before.
When we look for names in the list it's possible (tough should be rare) to have at least twice the same name. Then the system is
unable to return the right record (this is why Ids are used OOTB, it's of course simpler and avoid any ambiguities).
In such case, the tooltip at the right of the button with not show (as we don't have any sure information from the server). I
propose to show an alert message (javascript) and to suggest the user to use the lookup button, since it avoids any ambiguities. I
propose to also fill the tooltip with the same message as a reminder (instead of the Id we don't have).

OK, anyway forget it, it was actually an issue due to data and not the process

Oops, wrong list sorry. But it's still true. It's actually related to r993508.
The little thing added is the idea to put a reminder in the tooltip after the alert message
