Hi Shashi,
Right, in order to release the locks on each change in a BPS variable selector, you could do something like the following:
1.Create a text component (HTML=true) and insert the following functions. Probably best to place this component somewhere near the top of your page.
<script type="text/javascript">
//FUNCTION TO POPULATE CUSTOM DROPDOWN BOXES **
function copyoptions (bpsvariable,custombox){
//declere the relevant option boxes
var x = document.getElementById(bpsvariable);
var selecteditem = (x.options[x.selectedIndex].value);
var y = document.getElementById(custombox);
//foreach existing option in the 'from' box
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++){
if (y<i> !='') {
y.options.length = (i+1);
y.options<i>.value = x.options<i>.value;
y.options<i>.text = x.options<i>.text;
}
}
//set the selected value to the same value as selected in the BPS variable
y.options.value = selecteditem;
}
//FUNCTION SETS THE BPS VARIABLE TO THE SELECTION MADE IN THE CUSTOM //BOX AND THEN EXECUTES THE REFRESH BUTTON
function setoption(bpsvariable,custombox,refreshbutton){
var x=document.getElementById(custombox);
var selecteditem = (x.options[x.selectedIndex].value);
var y=document.getElementById(bpsvariable);
y.options.value = selecteditem;
//now call the save and refresh to release old locks
document.all(refreshbutton).click();
}
</script>
2.Now create another text component (HTML=true) and place it just after the BPS variable selector relevant for this example (i.e. profit centre in my case).
Insert the following code, but change the capitals in my example to fit your example, i.e. your variable technical name, any name you like for the custom dropdown, and finally a technical name of a function pushbutton you have set up that links to a sequence in BPS0 to run a save and refresh as previously discussed in this SDN thread.
**THE CUSTOM DROPDOWN**
<select class="urDdlWhl" onchange="setoption('BPS_VARIABLE_NAME','CUSTOM_DROPDOWN_NAME','REFRESH_BUTTON');" id="CUSTOM_DROPDOWN_NAME" ct="DropDownListBox" name=" CUSTOM_DROPDOWN_NAME"></select>
**A BUTTON LINKED TO A COPY FUNCTION TO POPULATE THE CUSTOM BOX ABOVE**
<input type="button" value="" id="copytocustombox" onclick="copyoptions('BPS_VARIABLE_NAME','CUSTOM_DROPDOWN_NAME')">
<script type="text/javascript">
//AUTOMATICALLY ‘CLICK’ THE ABOVE BUTTON TO POPULATE CUSTOM BOX**
document.getElementById('copytocustombox').click();
//HIDE THE BPS VARIABLE SELECTOR AND THE FUNCTION BUTTON**
document.getElementById("BPS_VARIABLE_NAME").style.display="none";
document.getElementById("copytocustombox").style.display="none";
</script>
Good luck,
Rael
