Description Katrin Fischer 2011-08-14 14:07:45 UTC
This is similar to bug 6602.

To test:
- Create a new definiton for the reports dictionary
- Choose any name
- Choose patrons as module
- Choose borrowers.contactnote or borrowers.altcontactfirstname as columns

Step 3 offers a empty pulldown field instead of free text.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2011-08-14 14:11:28 UTC
Problem ssems to be related to varchar fields.
Comment 2 Jonathan Druart 2020-07-31 10:01:31 UTC
This seems to work correctly now: https://snipboard.io/6DIGey.jpg

Maybe fixed by bug 24986?

However still "broken" for VARCHAR (like smsalertnumber), but it seems to be a feature, it is suppose to display the different values of the column.
