Field does not appear on report

I am trying to develop a new report that will ask user to select a start date and an end date. I have the following code:

Code:

[Report: Purchase Invoice Report]
  Form            : Purchase Invoice Form
  Full Screen     : Yes
  Title           : $$LocaleString:"Fetch Purchase Invoices"

  [Form: Purchase Invoice Form]
    Height        : 100% Screen
    Part          : Purchase Invoice Part
    Width         : 100% Screen

    [Part: Purchase Invoice Part]
      Lines       : Start Date Selection Line, End Date Selection Line

      [Line: Start Date Selection Line]
        Fields    : Medium Prompt, Start Date
        Local     : Field : Medium Prompt : Info : $$LocaleString:"Start date"
        Space Top : 0.5

        [Field: Start Date]
          Align   : Left
          Storage : StartDate
          Use     : Uni Date Field
          Width   : 20 

      [Line: End Date Selection Line]
        Fields    : Medium Prompt, End Date
        Local     : Field : Medium Prompt : Info : $$LocaleString:"End date"
        Space Top : 0.5

        [Field: End Date]
          Align   : Left
          Storage : EndDate
          Use     : Uni Date Field
          Width   : 20 

[System: UDF]
  EndDate     : Date : 20001
  StartDate   : Date : 20002

When the report opens, the labels Start date and End date are displayed fine, but the text boxes where their values can be specified are not displayed. A screenshot of the report is attached for reference.

I have already tried the following, to no avail:

• Using different field names like "My Start Date", "MyStartDate", "MyStartDate1a", etc.
• Using different names for UDFs
• Using different identifier for UDFs
• Providing field settings inline instead of using pre-built fields ("Uni Date Field")

I am using Tally.ERP 9 v6.4.6 and Tally.Developer 9 v6.4.1 (the latest versions available for download). I am working in educational mode.

 

I contacted Tally Developer Support, who helped me resolve the problem. I was opening the report as Display : Purchase Invoice Report, which according to the support engineer, forces the report to open in read-only mode, disabling any editable fields. Opening the report as Alter : Purchase Invoice Report displays the fields correctly.

 

Dear programmer, Can you please tell me how can we contact with Tally Developer Support. Thank You

 

Thank you
