Why Can’t I Drop an Attribute?
Problem
The Server Data Source inspector tries to check the validity of an attribute when it is being dropped onto the Main table or Properties table.
*If the inspector finds a valid path for the attribute or view parameter being dropped, the drop is allowed.
*If the path is not valid, the drop is not allowed.
A valid attribute path is a unary path to the class that owns the item being dropped. In other words, dropping an attribute onto the Properties table causes the inspector to check for a path to the class that owns the table representation while dropping it onto the Main table causes the inspector to check for a path to the class that owns the row representation.
Solution
You can turn off this checking so that any path can be dropped. To do this:
1. Choose Session Properties from the File menu.
The Edit Properties dialog box opens.
2. Check the Allow Drop Anywhere option.
