Drop Downs (or how to earn 10 easy points)

[Former Member]

I'm following the tutorial for building online interactive form, which describes how to use different ui elements in Adobe Interactive Forms. One of the sections describes how to populate a drop down with values from the web dynpro, but I can't get that to work. When pressing the arrow next to the drop down the system think for a couple of seconds but doesn't show anything.

(When I try to use the ready-to-use project the drop down works fine, but when I try to built my own drop downs it doesn't work)

Is there something else I need to do beside use the Value help drop down from the WD platte and drag the requested node from the data view onto the drop down.

hi,

The thing you are missing is you need to put some script in the script editor:

somethng like this

var jsToExecute = "event.target.SAPValueHelp(\"" + this.somExpression + "\");";

app.eval(jsToExecute);

on that particular drop down. And also check whether the binding that you are giving is correct like $record.PersonalData.Department.

Hope this would solve your problem

Thanks,
