Hi,

 

I have an autocomplete which i want the user to type into, to narrow down and pick an item - This is working fine (although slow due to it searching the data)

 

Upon picking that item, I want to transfer all the other attributes (not shown in the autocomplete, but in the smartobject) to a list underneath, but its not working.

 

I have tried a Transfer rule, nothing happens

I tried a List method, but this slow as it loading the entire dataset again and i filter on the Autocomplete.

 

Any ideas?

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Hi!

 

What do you mean by "list underneath"?

Is there an item view with the ac-control and then a list view below that?

Maybe you could post a screenshot of the layout and your rules, so we are all talking about the same thing :)

Right then, lets add some clarity.

 

1) It's a list view

 

2) 1x Autocomplete control above the list

 

3) Autocomplete control is attached to Smartobejct LIST method. It uses a value (what the user types and i want to lokup against) and displays 4 fields in the autocomplete and this narrows down as the user adds more characters (this works fine)

 

4) I have a rule which says, when autocomplete is changed, transfer data, which i am trying to transfer ALL the fields (not just the 4 displayed in the autocomplete) from the smartobject for that selected record in the autocomplete to the LIST below the autocomplete control

 

But nothing gets transferred when i run the form.

 

I've added the necessary Smartobject fields to the Dispalys rules in the Transfer data rule.

 

That any clearer?

 

Thanks

We are getting there :)

 

Where in the List view do you want to transfer the data to? The Create/Edit Row or somewhere in the List?

Let's say your list view displays 5 rows. Wich row do you want to transfer the data to?

 

Edit:

Oh wait, another question:

What control do you use in the List View? Are they Data Labels?
