I have a function that expects a UD17 table set, which is basically a set of records that need to be deleted:
The code tries to access SelectedProfilesX2.UD17 but application studio is sending SelectedProfilesX2.SelectedProfilesX2 instead of SelectedProfilesX2.UD17
How do I fix this?
I have my dataview setup like this:
And the function call set up like this:
Iâm still kinda stuck on this, what are other people doing? Surely Iâm not the only one who needs to have multiple datasets of the same type, so you canât name them all after the server table.
I donât think youâre explaining this very well.
Thanks 
I donât know how to explain better though. I got around it for now by making the input signature a generic dataset and reconstructing it back into a UD17 tableset server side, but I feel like that shouldnât be needed and is a huge pain in the ass.
Should be able to control the parameter and table name from application studio, independent of the dataview settings.
I ran into this for something I worked on. I canât remember what it was or what I did⌠Sorry.
All I can say is you are not alone.
Well even if you donât remember how you addressed it, do you have any suggestions as a fellow sufferer how I could explain it better?
Yeah itâs hard to explain. Itâs like the function parameters are one level deeper than it needs to be. My issue was related to sending parameters to a BAQ.
What if you tried to name your field name âUD17â instead? Like it shows in rest help?
Canât, its getting the name from the dataview name, and I already have another dataview called UD17 that I donât want to send.
Youâre right. If you switch it to something else, it does not detect the param as a dataset.
Have you tried providing your own dataset model? Click on the edit button beside field data type. Just stumbled on this
I saw that as well but I havenât been able to figure out how to work it to do what I need. I think I would have to put {Mydataview} in at some point but that serializes the whole thing with the dataview name, and I would need just the children if I was going to use that to ârenameâ the input.
Yeah, this is the exact struggle I was having. I donât think there is a way as of this version.
How about you change the name of your dataview?
It would have to be changed to UD17, but that is already taken by a different dataview so I canât use it.
Do you need two defined dataviews? Can you just use one and store what you need to send in another filtered dataview on the fly?
Not sure what you mean here? That is essentially what I am doing, I have my main UD17 dataview, and then I have another dataview that stores all the UD17 records the user selects in the grid that they want to run a command on.
I could probably send the entire dataset and filter to only selected records on the server but that again seems very inefficient.
Just create a dataview on the fly and it will store the data under System Dataviews. No need to actually create a dataview in app studio.
Okay, I tried entering a âon-the-flyâ dataview name in the filter widget but it just throws an error ERROR Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'filter') and I donât see the on-the-fly dataview in the system dataviews or application dataviews.
Can you link me an example or make one for me?
This is still being a big pain in the ass. Seems like I might have to make a âfunction callerâ function that takes in a generic dataset and renames the tables and then calls the actual function I want.
I still feel like I am missing something obvious and easy though. 
Iâm mobile at the moment so canât reference on the computer and get screenshots and stuff, but if you use a kinetic-rest widget and populate the function library field appropriately, and put the function under.. method I think? You can then set up rest request parameters, from there you can have input dataview name xxx, parameter name to send yyy, that should work.
