This enhancement was requested 4 years ago by Ivan George Borges but I would like to emphasize its importance. Because no dropdown list of table column names is provided when entering the RowVersionOrTimestampColumn property for business objects, we have to type the name of the column manually and it is easy to mistype with unexpected results.
If a column name is entered that does not even exist (a spelling mistake for example), no error or warning is given but the result is very serious and unexpected. The existing StrataFrame code will in effect quit using the OptimisticRowVersion concurrency type for both deletes and updates with no warning or error. The result is that users that should have been alerted to a concurrency conflict are never alerted and deletes and updates proceed when they should not.
Spelling a column name incorrectly is the fault of the developer, but StrataFrame could really help us by providing a dropdown list so we don't make these all too human mistakes so easily.

Hi Sam.
Yep, it's been a while. It is still on the list, the fact is that there were other entering this same list which received a much higher level of priority. I am sure this will get its chance in the future. Anyway, I am forwarding this to the guys to enphasize. Thanks for your heads up!
