Issue

When in the MEETING list view I cannot select "close meeting".

Clicking (or double clicking) on the pencil/area does not show the dropdown selection box.

The circle in the attached image shows the problem, the select box never appears.

Hey @jobst !

I've been giving this a try locally, but I don't see this behaviour yet, I'm afraid
I seem to have the "Close" option where appropriate:

I have a few questions to try to shed some light on this:

  • Do you know if your Meetings Listview has any custom changes, by chance?
    (ie: via Code, or via Studio)

  • Also, do you know if these Meeting records all have a specific Status set? (Or is this across all statuses?)

  • Or, alternatively, do you know if these Meetings have custom Status values added via Code or via Studio?
    I believe the CRM considers meetings "Closable" if they're at the "Planned" status, out of the box

Thanks again!

I just read the line 549 in modules/Meetings/Meeting.php:

if ($this->status == "Planned") {
  // cn: added this if() to deal with sequential Closes in Meetings. this is a hack to a hack(formbase.php->handleRedirect)

So when someone sets a meeting as "Held" or alternatively other values using Studio then I cannot close it?
Sorry to say but that is very stupid hack to a hack.

It also totally defeats the purpose of the Studio and the ability to add other statuses.
