There is a problem with LOV component, when it is defined on Primary Key attribute - registered Bug #8275169. Until problem will be fixed, workaround can be as following - to define second dummy transient attribute for Primary Key attribute and use it on the page. However, during commit - in doDML method on Entity to substitute real attribute value with value from transient attribute.
For example, Entity with Primary Key attribute DepartmentId:
I have defined LOV for this attribute in VO and on runtime trying to use LOV:
However unsuccessfully, error is generated:
You can download sample application - LOVPrimaryKey.zip, where described workaround is implemented.
To give you more light about workaround, I will explain it in detail.
First, Primary Key attributes always are with Mandatory validation rule, however I removed this rule from DepartmentID and declared it for my transient attribute DepartmentId_Dummy. It is done in order to remove unnecessary check, since we are creating mirror attribute:
In getter method for transient attribute I need to return real attribute value during first load in order to display not blank values but correct ones:
In overridden doDML method value from transient attribute is copied back to real attribute:
DepartmentId attribute Display Hint is set to Hide - this means will not be visible in ViewController:
Transient attribute will be visible with user friendly label:
When developer will drag and drop Data Control on the page, wizard will not list original DepartmentId attribute, because it was set as Hide:
Now LOV will work, however I strongly believe this bug will be fixed in next build and there will be no need to apply this workaround !
