Last Name won't display?

[daryllabar]

Weird behavior with names and some sort of caching.

Run this query first:

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
  <entity name="contact">
    <attribute name="fullname" />
    <filter>
      <condition attribute="lastname" operator="eq" value="Smith" />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>

Looks good:

Then update fullname to lastname and run again ( I hand typed it in the xml window, not sure if it matters):

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
  <entity name="contact">
    <attribute name="lastname" />
    <filter>
      <condition attribute="lastname" operator="eq" value="Smith" />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>

I get this result with no last name or full name:

But if I add in the full name, it returns correctly, but then if I remove the fullname, the full name is still shown in the grid, but empty...

Most likely it happens when you change attributes to return. In the second, you ask for the lastname, but it shows fullname. Which is a bug, too well known. If you go to the low-menu, select Columns and Show All. Now you see lastname, I hope.
