Custom dropdown boxes in the Active Roles Web Interface are blank on Deprovisioned objects (4336897)

Custom dropdown boxes in the Active Roles Web Interface are blank on Deprovisioned objects

When custom dropdown boxes are implemented in the Active Roles Web Interface, they will not show any values for objects which are in a Deprovisioned state.

This is expected behaviour.

Property Generation and Validation (PGV) Policies and the onGetEffectivePolicy script handler, which are the only options available to create a custom dropdown box, are both Provisioning Policy items which will not fire on a Deprovisioned object.

There is no corresponding script handler for onGetEffectivePolicy on Deprovisioned objects.

While it is not possible to build a dropdown box on Deprovisioned objects, script modules and Change Workflows will still detect changes made to any attribute. Exposing a DirectoryString syntax attribute in the Active Roles Web Interface will result in a text value which can be manually entered, and exposing a Boolean syntax attribute will result in a checkbox. Changes made to these attributes will still be detected on Deprovisioned objects, and any custom operations can be performed as needed based on these triggers.
