Dropdown Lists in Adobe Forms - Offline

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two dropdowns in my form (install. locations and equipments).

The values for the two dropdowns come from tables passed by the interface; the form is offline.

When I choose first dropdown (install. location), the second (equipment) must be filled/filtered automatically based on first dropdown value.

How can I read the table that contain the equipments, filter it based on first dropdown value, and add the items in the second dropdown list?

Thanks.

Hi Danielle,

Please read my blog:

http://scn.sap.com/community/interactive-forms-by-adobe/blog/2012/10/02/action-builder-adobe-forms

You will get an idea definitely.

There is this action builder in Adobe LC 9 version, which you can use for changing / initialising one field depending on when other is changed.

Please let me know if i can be of any help.

Reward if you find it helpful.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't solved my problem.. cause I needed to read a context table in the form to filter the second dropdown.

I've found a solution here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/1504502

And here's how I've done in by form:

----- data.#subform[0].ZLOCAL::exit: - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------------------------

if( ZLOCAL.rawValue != null ){

    EQUIPMENT.clearItems();

    EQUIPMENT.rawValue = "";

//    Read context table here

    var node = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.T_EQUI.DATA[*]");

    for( var i = 0; i < node.length; i++){

        var tplnr = node.item(i).TPLNR.value;

         if( tplnr == ZLOCAL.rawValue ){

               EQUIPMENT.addItem(node.item(i).ZDESC.value);

         }

    }

}

PS: ZLOCAL is the first dropdown, EQUIPMENT is the second one and T_EQUI is my context table.
