Working with Bryan on putting white label variables inside of help files (stored in the database). It is easy to use and expose variables inside of code because it gets interpreted each time the page runs. It is much harder to populate variables from stored data.

After that, we went over some of his web/API socket code to help show parent attributes for items in an exposed web/API socket function. We took quite a bit of time looking over the code. He had copied in some code from another process, but it still needed to be refined a bit. We ended up going over complex data structures and how to use arrays, structures, and lists as a single complex data set. We made some progress and he will go back in and do some clean-up on that page.

The last thing that we covered was dealing with some custom code that randomized the PO numbers. The code was working great. The problem came into play as Bryan added some new bulk functionality to add multiple PO's at the same time. The new code didn't follow his same rules to help randomize and record the alternate numbering system. That change threw off his normal code. Basically, we need the same custom code on the normal add new PO's (one at a time) and then make sure that the create bulk or create auto PO's has the same code and logic.
