Hi,
I have a query regading data source attribute of Item Dropdown field of a form. Is it possible to set the data source (Item Type) of a dropdown (field type as item) dynamically/programmatically? Can you let me know how I can achieve this?
I would like dynamically set the attribute of a field - a dropdown box of field type 'item' to a particular Item Type based on different selections of the user. Can you please provide a way to achieve this dynamic setting of data source attribute of dropdown box of field type 'item'?
Alexis.
Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply with solutions in this context. While I will take a closer look into your suggestions, I would also like to add more clarity to my query. I am not trying to create a list for the dropdown box. I am using the dropdown box with the field type of 'item' which allows me to pick an item and assign it to the same field.
For example, let's say I have the following items on a grid with four columns (Name of the attribute, Value as a string value, Data type, Data source if applicable)
'A' <value> 'item' 'user'
'B' <value> 'string'
'C' <value> 'item' 'order'
So, when the user selects 'Show instance' on Row A, the form would have a dropdown box of type 'item' and data source 'user' (which is an item type).
And when the user selects 'Show instance' on Row C, the form would have a dropdown box of type 'item' and data source 'order' (which is an item type).
Many thanks for your support.
