The following js is working only for the first row of the repeating section, I need it to work for all repeating section rows.Please help.

 

When box is checked, lookup resets to "Please select a value"

 

Checkbox var-cidContractor

Dropdown var- cidTraining

 


NWF$(document).ready(function(){
   NWF$('#'+cidContractor).change(function() {
      if(NWF$('#'+ cidContractor).prop("checked")) {         NWF$('#'+cidTraining).val("");NWF$('#'+cidTraining).siblings('select.nf-client-control').val('**SelectValue**');      }   })});

are both the Checkbox and the Dropdown in the Repeating Section, or is the Checkbox outside of it? 

If you're trying to target Controls inside of a Repeating Section (Row), then you need to use a classname (less complicated) or a Control Name (a little more complicated but not by much) to target them because ID values must be unique! Setting an ID variable for a Control in a repeating section will only return one result because of this!

@MegaJerk Thank you for your reply, the checkbox and the dropdown are both inside the repeating section.

Made a little test form. I have a Repeating Section with two Controls.


 


One is a Yes / No checkbox named: control_Checkbox_LookupReset


 


One is a Lookup Control named: control_Lookup_Fruits



 


What I mean by "name" is that the Control Name has been set in the properties, just to be clear: 



 


Now that we have our controls, we can use the code you have and just give it a little change:


NWF$(document).ready(function() {
NWF$(".nf-filler-control[data-controlname='control_Checkbox_LookupReset']:visible").change(function(event) {
var checkbox = NWF$(event.target);
var targetIsChecked = checkbox.prop("checked");
var targetLookup = checkbox.closest(".nf-filler-control").siblings("[data-controlname='control_Lookup_Fruits']");

if (targetIsChecked) {
targetLookup.find("select.nf-client-control").prop("selectedIndex", 0).trigger("change");
}
});
});

 


In the code above I'm find the controls by way of their Control Name, first setting up an event handler when our checkbox control, "control_Checkbox_LookupReset" is changed, and then I'm handling it with a function that:


 



  1. Sets a variable named "checkbox" to equal the Checkbox Control

  2. Sets a variable named "targetIsChecked" to checkbox's value

  3. Sets a variable named "targetLookup" to be that of our sibling Lookup Control


We then use a simple conditional to see if checkbox IS checked, and if it is, then we dig down into our Lookup Control to find that actual Select element that we (a user) would normally interact with, set it's value to 0 (which is the default index of the "Please Select A Value" 'value'), and indicate that we've made a change using the ".trigger("change")" event trigger (which should fire off any Formatting / Validation Rules that may be tied to this control. 

In action, all this does is clear the Lookup Control when the box above it is checked:



 



 


Hope this helps to get you there.

@mnash33 you had posted a reply to this thread asking for help, but then deleted your comment when I had submitted my reply so it was lost into the void. 


 


If you still require help further, please create a separate forum thread and tag me in it. 


 


thank you
