dropdown ADD Value Problem

Post by marc »

AwareIM 3.0 (1035)

I have a form which includes a peer where the user can add values to the dropdown field with the + sign beside the dropdown.
The Form is startet with a rule using ENTER NEW and setting an value for a checkbox to Yes.
The problem is, when i add values to the dropdown using the + the checkbox value is set to undefined after going back to the form.

I cannot use CREATE to start the process because the user has to fill in the form.

Workarround suggestion: Is it possible to add values to a dropdown using a popup window maybe this would solve the problem.

How about a workaround rule:

If BO.Attribute IS UNDEFINED AND
BO IS NEW

BO.Attribute='Yes'

Cheers,
Pete

Hi Pete,

thank you for your suggestion, i have tried your rule, it works but the value is only set after coming back from adding an value to a dropdown when the form is created/saved. During entering data in the form the value is only visible the first time when the form is opend as ENTER NEW and after saving the form and reopen it.

I wonder if making the rule dynamic would help??
