The columns are read only, but contain invalid values after copying them from another view.



Is it an error in the software factory? Can they just be ignored?

Hello Harm,

This columns are required for views which are not created by using a control procedure template:



The 'View table' column represents the from clause used in these type of views. The 'View column' column represents the column used in the source table.

In that case I would expect these fields to remain empty if the creation method of the view is 'Template'

Indeed this should be the case. You can report an issue in our portal (TCP) containing this case.
