Bug 379306

Can you attach an example?

I just tested this on the usda database, which has a table nut_data with several floating point fields.  It worked fine, no blanks were shown where the values were 0.  A small test case would be useful in this case. Thanks

Table design

Table design: insert one field with floating point type, don't change the 'Default value' property

Data

Enter data:
1, NULL
2, NULL
3, 1
4, 0

Report

Create report based on the table. Two first records are NULL so the value is not displayed. Then there are two more records: a=1 and a=0.

Fix

Apparent issue users may have is different then: by default the default value is 0.0. It is displayed as 0 in the table view while in fact the value gets not inserted and NULL. So initial default value is NULL. Two proper fixed for us would be (see this screenshot):
- avoid displaying the blue "0" as default values in the table view and instead display nothing
- fix display for inserted records when there's unset default value: don't display anything in such values of records

Current workaround: 
To have the default value = 0.0, change it to 0 in the table designer for the field. It won't trigger data removal. If this won't work, change to 1 then to 0, and save the changes. Subsequent records that are inserted then will have the value of 0 inserted and the report will display them as 0.

Waiting for confirmation of the above description.

Should be fixed in 3.0.2 and later

Have tried this - All 6 Table fields are set as "Integer Number"
All Fields in the Report are set with default value '0'
NO CHANGE - No '0' values show in Queries or Report.
Entering a '0' value in the Form - vanishes as soon as you press 'Save'
Tested with 2.9.11 and last two AppImages.

Have just tested this and reported on the Bug Forum (NO CHANGE :-( )

_*NEW PROBLEMS*_*_(??)_
*
As you know I have a Members Database and from this, with a Query, I 
select a Group of the Members.
I then created a Report to print out or email a Report for each of these 
selected Members.

*Problem 1* - I have >300 Members and the one Group is about 180 of these.
I can not find a way to select a particular Member to bring up the 
Report for him??!!
I CAN do it manually by clicking through ALL the records one-by-one 
until I find the one I want.
Am I missing something - How can I do this??

*Problem 2* - Once I have the Report on screen that I want I select 
"Report > Export as > PDF"
BUT it prints out the _FIRST_ Report not the one selected on-screen.
Again am I missing something or doing it wrong??

If you confirm this I will post it.

Thanks - (Been busy here with my monthly Journal - will get back into 
the Bugs next week)

Ian, correct. Integers have the same behavior that I explained above.

Some or all of your fields have default values set to NULL even if you see 0 in the table designer. You can use workaround from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379306#c6 to correct default values. But you would need to fix  existing values for records you already entered.

@Ian please post the questions on the Forum because these are not related to this bug.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

I received the following from Ian:

I notice the update to this bug that I reported some time ago.

I am still a big user of Kexi and LOVE it. However I have had no way to update and monitor the Project - which I agreed to do with Jaraslaw. I use PClinuxOS-64bit with KDE and QT5 as my Operating System and it is not in the Repos of this OS. So I used to make use of the AppImage file to install it. But I understand that AppImages are no longer available.

So I'm stuck with the version 3.1 Alpha of Kexi with which I run my two Databases!! I would love to be able to keep up with the new developments and make comments and suggestions but I'm unable to do that.

So I'm unable to see if the above Bug has been fixed or is still present in the latest versions. It IS present - as I reported - in the version I use.

---

Due to this, I'm going to mark this Reported.

Thanks Andrew and Ian. 

As you know 15 or 30 days is very small period. Many distributions refuse to update even in 2 years...

Most users are unable to build the software themselves.

Here I think we know a bit more and we analyzed the problem.
