B1UP: Open Items List sometimes show unwanted columns

Issue

In rare cases if you will end up with odd columns in your open items list (beyond the normal columns). This happens in rare cases is you have set your dashboard view to do auto-refresh.

Cause

This happens because one part of B1UP is saving the layout while another is refreshing and if it happens within the same mili-second, you will end up with the odd columns.

Fix

We originally fixed this in B1UP 2021.10, but unfortunately we have later noticed that this fix have a very rare side-effect where Dashboards would freeze and crash... For that reason the 2021.11 HF1 reverted the fix.

Since freeze/crashes is worse than odd columns and there seems no other way to fix the odd columns issues, we have decided that the fix is back in B1UP 2021.12, but only if you activate if via a Feature Flag file

How to enable fix (Require B1UP 2021.12 or higher)?

Go to your B1UP install Folder (normally "C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\BOY\B1 Usability Package"). In here create a new file called "LOCK_DURING_DASHBOARD_REFRESH.txt" in the folder.

Then restart B1UP and the fix should be applied.
