Unable to update GFE type for HUD lines 1101/1103

[chris.brady]

We're trying to use the API to change the GoodFaithEstimateType value on multiple lines on the HUD. It appears to work fine for just about every other line, but for 1101 and 1103, when we assign the GFE type and then look at those lines within the Select UI, the value in the drop down has not changed to what we tried to assign. If we look at the line in the debugger as it's being set, the value appears to be changing correctly; however, it isn't being kept.

Is there a different interface we need to be using to set this value? We've tried both IHudLine and IHudLineAdditionalCharge to set the value, and neither seem to work.

Lines 1101 and 1103 are special regarding that field, unfortunately. The value is only used in the line there, not the charge. Try setting it on IHudLine1100Section instead, but let us know if that doesn't work so we can drill into it further.

[chris.brady]

It didn't work on IHudLine1100Section either, unfortunately.

[Melissa McBerkowitz]

OK - we'll look into this further and get back to you.

Can you try the following to set the GFE type

IHudLine hudLine = order.HUD[0].GetHudLine(1101);
IHudLineAdditionalCharge hac = hudLine.AdditionalCharge[0];
hac.GoodFaithEstimateType = GoodFaithEstimateType.CanIncreaseUpTo10;

[chris.brady]

That's essentially what we're already doing, except that instead of

IHudLineAdditionalCharge hac = hudLine.AdditionalCharge[0];

we're getting the additional charge with

IHudLineAdditionalCharge hac = hudLine.AdditionalCharge.FirstOrDefault();

Also, instead of

hac.GoodFaithEstimateType = GoodFaithEstimateType.CanIncreaseUpTo10;

we're assigning the GoodFaithEstimate with

hac.GoodFaithEstimateType = (GoodFaithEstimateType)GoodFaithEstimateTypeID;

where GoodFaithEstimateTypeID is the integer representation of the enumeration value (also the same as the ID in zrefGoodFaithEstimateType).

I tried the way you are setting it and I am able to set the GFEType.

Do you have the check box for "Use 2009 RESPA regulations for HUD-1 & Hud-1A" checked on the Options screen? You need to have that checked.

[chris.brady]

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, that box is checked.

Could it be possible that this was an issue that was addressed in a Boylan service pack within the last year or so? And if so, can you check to confirm if it was or not?
