Automatically adding elements to dropdown

[Former Member]

Hi to all SAP Masters,

I am new to Adobe interactive forms development.I have created a form but now i am facing a problem which has stopped my form development . I have tried and tested every method but i am kinda stuck here.

The problem is that i am not able to automatically add the 80 text elements to my drop down list .

If i do manual entry of dropdown then it becomes difficult for me , as i have large number of dropdowns in this form .

Please help me.

Hi,

Just copy the data and paste it to XML Source code.

For Example:

<text>Drop-down List</text>

</value>

</caption>

<items save="1">

<text>ABCD</text>

</items>

</field>

If you are having more value, Open ur excel sheet just type <text> in "A" Column and </text> in "C" Column. In "B" column copy ur data and paste it in ur xml source code

Hi Ravi,

Go to SFp tcode.

open your form in layout mode

select the dropdown you want to add items to

now click on xmlsource tab (it would automatically highlight your drowdown element tags) if it could not just search your dropdown by name in this xml source tab.

if you obbserve you will see list of items for your dropdown there.

so similar to that have your required elements in the same tags and add it her.

once you nevigate back to the designer view, if you look into the dropdown elements you will see them added here.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Sai.
