Details

The _setDataset method removes all computed columns defined using the _addComputedColumn method. Recursive calls to _setDataset are not allowed.

Note:

The _setDataset method cannot be called from the model's SCL entry.
If you use the data form, form editor, or a subclass of the form editor as the viewer and the columns in the new table (data set) are different from the previous table (data set), you may need to call _refillUsingAttributes on the viewer in order to see the columns.
Passing a value of ' ' (a blank enclosed in quotes) as the name of the table will close the current table.
