TS002473155 — Cannot delete or edit a component

Fixed: Resolved an issue where users cannot edit or delete components that have had a column deleted that is used by a view table.

Now, an error occurs if users attempt to delete a column used by a view table.

Reproduction Steps

1. Log in to the admin client.

2. In Composer, add a component.

3. Add a calculation. Name it Calc1.

  a. On the Data Sources tab, define Time as the data source.

  b. On the Display Columns tab, define Time.Starting as the partition for the calculation.

  c. On the Formulas tab, add "1" as the formula.

4. Add a second calculation. Name it Calc2.

  a. On the Data Sources tab, define GroupMember as the data source.

  b. On the Display Columns tab, define GroupMember.Starting as the partition for the calculation.

  c. On the Formulas tab, add "1" as the formula.

5. In the component, add a view table.

  a. On the Data Sources tab, define both calculations as data sources.

  b. On the Restriction tab, define the restrictions as Calc2.Years = Calc1.Years.

  c. On the Display Columns tab, select Calc1.Years as the display column.

6. Edit Calc2 to remove the display column.

7. Try to edit Calc2 again.

The result is an error occurs when users should not be able to remove display columns that are in use by a view table.
