Anthony,

I'm not able to reproduce the errors you're seeing. I created a list on a 12.3 server and trunk and applied the xml metadata override, but it saved cleanly without errors. After the save, the insert/update/delete/import links and buttons were removed.

Are there errors in the server log?

Kevin,

No errors in the log file. I'm seeing inconsistent behavior on save. First I saved it with only the tableUrl, insertUrl, and updateUrl defined as blank.

The inital save worked. Once I tried adding importUrl and deleteUrl I got the saved with parse errors. I removed them to go back to the initial xml and then got the saved with parse errors message again. Then, I removed all xxxxUrl elements and it saved fine. I put back updateUrl, tableUrl, and insertUrl and it saved fine again.

I can add in deleteUrl and importUrl and save with parse errors. When I go to view the list it is behaving correctly, no import or delete buttons. So it seems to be working but the save still says it is having parse errors.

Here is the full XML:

<tables xmlns="http://labkey.org/data/xml">
  <table tableName="Specimens Submitted to GRC" tableDbType="TABLE">
    <insertUrl></insertUrl>
    <updateUrl></updateUrl>
    <tableUrl></tableUrl>
    <importUrl></importUrl>
    <deleteUrl></deleteUrl>
    <columns>
      <column columnName="Key">
        <datatype>integer</datatype>
        <columnTitle>Key</columnTitle>
        <nullable>false</nullable>
        <isKeyField>true</isKeyField>
      </column>
      <column columnName="GlobalUniqueId">
        <datatype>varchar</datatype>
        <columnTitle>Global Unique Id</columnTitle>
        <fk>
          <fkDbSchema>study</fkDbSchema>
          <fkTable>SpecimenDetail</fkTable>
          <fkColumnName>GlobalUniqueId</fkColumnName>
        </fk>
      </column>
      <column columnName="Participant Id">
        <datatype>varchar</datatype>
        <columnTitle>Participant Id</columnTitle>
        <fk>
          <fkDbSchema>study</fkDbSchema>
          <fkTable>Participant</fkTable>
          <fkColumnName>ParticipantId</fkColumnName>
        </fk>
      </column>
    </columns>
    <pkColumnName>Key</pkColumnName>
  </table>
</tables>


On a related note, I just tried to create a new query using the above mentioned list with custom table XML metadata and I'm getting an Exception (I've attached screenshots and the full log of this error):
