Mapping values to text box in maximo asset management - maximo

I tried to map a text box with list of values to select from.
I added an Alphanumeric Domain (ALN) and assigned it to the related attribute in database configuration.
From App Designer, I defined VALUELIST lookup for the text box.
When I click on arrows to select from the list, I got Invalid Binding.
I noticed that the database configuration is in 'to be changed' status.
How can I apply the changes, or what is the issue in what I did?

You need to put the database in Admin mode and select Actions -> Apply Configuration Changes similar to discussed here

Conditional dropdown selection to hide and show item

I'm new to Power Apps, I'm facing this issue.
enter image description here
This is a PA form when I select Projects value in Time entry field the below two fields are enabled Project and Project Role but when I change to other option like this
enter image description here
Project and Project role are hidden for other option selected except Projects option in time entry field. 
Everything is working fine but problem is coming when I edit any existing records of list and try to change the Time Entry field option when I'm changing the option from Projects to other options the below two fields disabled automatically which is fine but when I save this form after making changes the value of Project and Project Role remains in list which was existed for Projects option before editing.
So what I need here when I edit the existing records so value of Project and Project Role also wipe from SharePoint list when I select options other than project in time entry field.
Thanks in advance.
Forms on PowerApps are defined by cards. Cards have two important properties.
Default, which is the value you pass into the fields and show to the user. Usually this is just the value of the source
Update, which is the value you write back to the source. Usually, this is just the value of the field
You can do a lot by modifying default and update, which allow you to do all sorts of checks and logic on how different data should be transformed.
In your case, set the update value for project and project role to this
If(Self.DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Disabled, Blank(), dropdownvaluehere)
Whenever that card is disabled, it will write nulls to the list, regardless of what the dropdown says. Whenever the card is enabled, it will refer to the dropdownvalue.
As an aside, Consider using a dropdown box instead of a combobox if not necessary, as comboboxes have nice features like letting you select more than one value at a time, but tend to be more temperamental and break and forget values.

SharePoint Online: Un-Requiring a Required Field

I have a few fields that were required inputs when we created the SP list, but no longer need to be required when the new item is added. I'm using two custom content types in this list and have flipped this field to optional in both of them. The form no longer shows these fields as required until the user tries to enter the item and gets the error
.
When we try adding new items via quick edit or add/edit items through Power Automate we're hitting the same error, where SP is treating these fields as required. Does anyone know how to fix this, or what might be causing the mismatch?
When you create a custom content type with site columns, there are two places where you can make a column mandatory.
1. via the Content Type
List settings > click the content type > click the column > select Required or Optional
You can also get to this setting via Site Settings > Site content types > click the content type > click the column.
2. via the Site Column
This is a different setting that you can access via Site Settings > Site Columns > click the column
These second setting will override the "Optional" of the first setting, i.e. if the setting in the second screenshot is set to "Yes", then the column will be mandatory, even if the option in the first screenshot is set to "Optional".

Removing default value "Please seleact a value..." from dropdown of nintex forms

I'm facing this issue where I've five dropdowns on my form made with nintex forms. Three existing dropdowns work fine but the two new dropdown displays the option "Please select a value..." as the default option even though the default value I've set is "Select Action". Does anybody has any idea why this is happening?
Full details:
All dropdowns are connected to respective choice type fields in the sharepoint list.
All dropdowns have unique names as well as unique javascript variable.
I've tried setting default values in sharepoint list as well as in the form but no luck.
The list column has three choices:
Select Action (default)
Final
In-Progress
The form displays it like:
1) Please select a value... (default)
2) Select Action
3) Final
4) In-Progress
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? and how to resolve it? I don't want the default nintex value - "Please select a value..." as it doesn't look too professional.
Update:
This behaviour by form is for already existing items. For new items, the default is working fine. But I've lots of old items in list which cannot be discarded.
Right click on drop down control and under settings -> Set default value source -> specify default value.
Second approach:
Under list setting ,click on the column name and specify the default value

Changing the Type of the Custom field

How can i change the Type of the Custom field in Acumatica?
I created a new custom field of "ComboBox" Type for the Sales Order Header Section.Now i would like to change its type to "TextEdit" so the user can manually enter any value in it. So far there are only few Sales order where user has entered the value in this field.
Thanks
Combo boxes are stored in string fields in the database - you can therefore easily replace the control on the page with a text edit field. The simplest way is to remove the combo box from the layout editor, and then adding it back as a text box from the "Add Data Fields" tab. If you want to modify the properties of the field itself, you have to go to the Data Access section and modify the attributes of the field (PXDBString + remove PXStringList attribute if you have one). Lastly, if this is a field you were creating as part of your customization project, you might have to manually edit the Table node of the project XML (File -> View Project XML)

checking if current user is author of the document

I have a formA where I have a field '_author' which is of type Authors/Computed for display with value (#Subset($Updatedby;1)). I display information from formA on viewA. What I want to achieve is that documents that are created by you are only visible to yourself on viewA. I tried the following formula in viewA 'View Selection':
SELECT (form = "formA" & #UserName =_author). Even though I know that these two variables have the same values when I read it from the document's properties, the condition is not satisfied and I do not see a single document. If I delete everything after "&", the view shows all documents.
All is hosted on a server which handles users.
A handy workaround is to create a Page with an embedded view. This view is exactly like your view but has an additional first categorized (!) column with your field _author.
Put into embedded view's property "Show single category" the formula #UserName or #Name([CN]; #UserName) depending on how your categorized column _author is formatted. Show then always the Page instead of the view.
This way you avoid trouble with "Shared, private on first use" views and users see exactly their own documents only.
#UserName works in a special manner in selection formulas in views. In your case the view should be Private on First Use. Read further here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21089773 .
Be aware that this lead to all sort of issues, e.g. when you update the design of the view users must remove the view manually to get the changes deployed.
