Problem in dropdown by index in table

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i have created one table with dropdownby Index field .

In DISPLAY....i am able to get all values corresponding to the selection.In debugging i am getting all entries for dropdown field but while display i am getting first DD value.

And in CREATE ....when i am selecting first value in DD field for 1st row and then selecting another value for 2nd row it is taking second value for all rows.means whatever i select...same value is populated in all DD field of rows.

Thanks

normally for your case i would choose to have a DROPDOWNBYKEY UI element and the property key is binded to a attribute of data element having domain values.

If there is no domain value then i would just bind a value set to the attribute.

If your business case is absolutely to have DDBI, then you need to make sure that every row have a node with data to be appeared in DDBI.

nope, it has to be arranged in the context level. I suspect that you have problem there.

See for example the context structure.

node_sflight

carrid

connid

node_booking (cardinality 0..n)

sconnid

sdate

stext

node_sflight is binded to the tabple datasource property of the table.

you have a column booking with DDBI as cell_editor, bind this source property to the node_booking.

bind the text property to the one of the attribute in node_booking like stext.

You need to fill the data node_booking for every row in the node_sflight.

Okay..i got it.but i have a nodes

PARTNERS

parvw(DDBI field)

parnr

vtext

name

address

DD_SELECTION(this i am populating using supply function)

selection(char40)[this i am binding with DDBI field]

In this senerio,can you suggest me.

Thanks

To my understanding , with your context structure ,if you want to have dropdownby index then it is not going to work for you.

It will work as DDBK as suggested by bruce.

is DD_SELECTION a node with 0..n cardinality? in that case you need to bind this as data source for the DDBI and the text sould point to a attribute inside.

yes its 0..n.Text property is binded with the DD attribute only but i am not able to see any datasource property for DDBI field.

I am sorry about the dataSource property which is not existing in DDBI.
