you can create variables in the implementation in which one holds current data and other holds previous data.

And can be shown as tool tip to input field

Hi nikhiL,

Is it that i have to create 2 context values which holds the previous data and the current data.But the previous data node should be mapped to the tooltip of the input field

Can you give me any exapmle pdf that implemented this functionality.

you can do in that way too.

1. Create two attributes previous, current

2. initialize previous with "empty"

3. before setting current, the data in current is set to previous ( say in OnAction which navigates to other view)

hope you understand

Hi,

Here my requirement is not to hold only one previous value.It is to hold all values that enterd in that application.if i entered values that start with 7 5 times and if i came back to that view again and if i enter 7 then all the values which we enterd with 7 previously has to come down as dropdown

Hi padma,

It may not be possible in wdj. becuase you cant raise any event onclick for input field.

other possiblility is use [EVS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2833ce90-0201-0010-f1af-d3cfe1155b16] (value help).

as said by ayyapparaj keep your previous values in stack. and use those values as input to EVS.

Hi Naga,

If i use EVS it shows data as key value pair.

And the problem is BY entering value 7 and on clicking in the input filed with the mouse it has to show the drop down with the values previously enterd starting with 7.

Can u plz help me out
