Process Button on Form

edvwruhs

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to change a yes/no value with a process via button in a form, the problem is when calling the process the value doesnt change at all. I already checked, the process does find the correct record, but it doesnt change the value.

Any ideas?

Oh and by chance does anyone know why I cant place my button next to my attribute? When I try to drag and drop it, it just replaces the field with the button.

You don't need to Find the BO, it is already in context. You just need to set the process input to be the BO name that you're using. https://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/docs/2500_config_apps/0900_add_edit_processes#process_input

If you want the button to be next to the check box you need to add a new column on the form and place the button in the new column.

Unfortunately putting the BO in the process input didnt work, am I missing something?

As for the positioning of the button, thank you very much, I will take a look at that.

Best Regards

Can you show a screen grab of the panel that shows what the button does please.

Also you may need to refresh the form after you've run a process on it.

I just realized, when I click the button and afterwards close the form the change is made, but when I click the button and then click save then the change is not made :?

I want it to still make the change after saving the form.

Any ideas why this is happening? Are there any workarounds for this behavior?

This is happening because you are making the change in two places, running a process and saving the form. You can get round this by checking the save flag before you run the process if the user has made changes to the form before they press the button and then setting the refresh form after you've run the process.
