Quickly adding fields to project grid does not respect original order

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

If fields are quickly added to the project grid view, the order that is saved in Clarity is not the same as the one that is displayed in Clarity. When reloading the saved view, the order of some columns may have changed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the Modern UX, navigate to: Projects, Grid View.
2. Rapidly add columns into the view (as fast as possible, while "Loading data... Please wait" message appears).
3. Save the view.
4. Open the view.

Expected Results: View displays the attributes in the same order they were added.
Actual Results: View displays the attributes in a different order they were added.

Environment

Release : 15.8.1

Component : CA PPM STUDIO

Cause

This issue has been reported as DE61419.

Resolution

Given the way in how we handle requests from the server in the Modern UX (asynchronous requests), we cannot guarantee the order the fields that are displayed after it is immediately selected. After all the selections are done, the page can be refreshed and fields can be ordered to be displayed in the grid as desired.
