We recently upgraded from 11.5 to 11.8.4.  We are experiencing a weird issue.  When viewing in the queue, the task description shows but the parent log information (description) no longer shows, and it used to.  This is for new and older tickets, we cannot see it.

 

If we open the parent ticket, we can see the information but not in this view for some reason.

Here’s what it looks like when you open the parent

 

 

We were told by IFS that “You need to change description replace “ Additional information with” additional information”(replace uppercase A with lowercase a) and save it”

We don’t know where to change this or find where the issue is.  They said its a known issue P1640.

Does anyone have a work around for this or can tell us where to find this location to try this change?

Hi Caroline, yes we did,  This was the work around if using Oracle SQL Server

  1. Make sure the ' '  has one space when using Oracle SQL Server
  2. Run
  3. update jptsys_parms set parmstring = ' ' where parmlongname = 'webFrontEnd/infoZoneContactUserFields'
  4. Then run
  5. commit
  6. Then check to see if Parm String is empty and not null
  7. select * from jptsys_parms
  8. Where parmlongname = 'webFrontEnd/infoZoneContactUserFields'
