SYMPTOM:
Consider that a logical table needs to be deleted from a Strategy project. When checking for dependencies on the table from Strategy Developer, one or more attribute(s) show up. However, on editing the attribute(s) using Strategy Developer, no forms can be seen mapped to the logical table.
CAUSE:
One possible cause of this behavior can be that the attribute form mapped to the logical table has become hidden. As a result, Strategy Developer does not show the attribute form even if browsing for hidden objects has been enabled from Tools > Desktop Preferences > Browsing. The cause is similar to that described for the ID form in the following Strategy Knowledge Base technical note, but it can happen for any form category besides ID:
KB10715 (KB5700-7XX-1269): When editing attributes, no attribute forms are displayed even though the attribute works in a report on MicroStrategy Desktop 9.2.x - 9.3.x
In order to track down the cause of this inconsistency, customers encountering this issue should make note of Schema/Application-related changes, Object Migrations or error messages prior to experiencing the problem. Change Journaling, if enabled, can help in preserving this information.
ACTION:
Contact Strategy Technical Support for steps to resolve this issue.
