Is there a way to auto-populate text based on a selection?

I honestly don't even know how to word my question haha... so the title may be misleading...
For my job I need to fill out indesign files, and at one part of the file based on the state a person is from I need to paste a specific e-mail in several places.
Is there a way where maybe I create a dropdown menu of the several state e-mails I can choose from, and upon choosing it auto-populates that choice into the several other places?
I guess, is there a way where if I make a select or input text into one area it will generate in the other areas as well?

Maybe you need some kind of clipboard manager to choose several texts to paste

    Is there a way to auto populate a series of fields based on the selection of a dropdown box
    for instance;
    chosing a customer's name from a dropdown box would auto populate the address, city,state zip etc...

    Yes, but not easy and you do not want to have a large number of items.

  • Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
    For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
    If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
    Regards
    Ashish

    Hi,
    Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
    create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
    Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
    Use four sections.
    Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
    section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
    Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
    Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
    Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
    For section1-
    properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
    In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)
    Thanks,

    I am working with a list of more than 100 entries for part numbers.  Instead of requiring someone to click the down arrow for a list that will scroll off the screen, is there a way for the dropdown list to limit entries shown based on the first few characters
    typed?

    Hi,
    Always mention your JDev version.
    The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
    If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

  • ___Is there a way to auto-update a graphic once it's made into a symbol?

    ___Is there a way to auto-update a graphic once it’s made into a symbol?
    For example - I've made a circle as a symbol, and it's in my document 100 times - is there a way to edit each instance, so it becomes a square?
    Also, can I have live text in it that replaces (ie. a circle with 'new' in it changes to a square with 'improved' in it).
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Yes
    create the replacement
    drag it over the existing symbol in the symbol pallete while holding ALT key down
    (or whatever ALT is equivalent to in MacOS)
    all existing symbols will update to new symbol

  • Is there a way to tighten a text bounding box?

    Hey all,
    I've looked before but never found a definitive answer to this question:
    Is there a way to tighten the text bounding box without converting it to outlines?
    I work for a screen printer, and want to figure out a way to tighten the bounding box without changing the leading and without converting it to outlines in order to be able to edit said text. We deal with a lot of clients who send us names, that are often misspelled, and after an initial proof need to be corrected. Sometimes we need to center this text to an object.
    Illustrator's bounding box, unlike that of Corel (which is our primary program, and won't open AI files) includes the leading below the type, so when you center it, it's not visually centered:
    So I guess my real question is is there a way to get the text centered (as seen below) without converting the text to outlines, or messing with the leading, or is there a way to tighten the bounding box?
    Thanks in advance!
    -K

    Combat and Dandreu,
    You may use this silly way:
    1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
    2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
    That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters so you can centre as you wish.
    Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

    I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines.  IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer? 

    For instance, DigiDNA's DiskAid will let you extract your messages from the phone in human-readable format. Like .pdf.

    If you have a backup of the phone with the messages on there, you can restore to that backup. Understand however, that anything done on the device since that backup will be lost.

  • Is there a way to expand the text area of the login/lock screen for the warning message?

    I put our company's standard warning message in the Security & Privacy system preference ("Show a message when the screen is locked.") and it overflowed the allotted text area for the warning message text on the login screen and lock screens.  It seems that the area allows about 250 character messages and I need to provide about 500 characters.  Is there any way to expand the text area allotted for this purpose?
    Bob Reed

    To be a little more specific about the challenge I'm facing, I want to increase the allotted text space for the field I've outlined in the attached image.  Seems like there ought to be a NIB file that could be edited to accomplish this task:
    I would appreciate any advice on which file should be edited to expand the text field.

  • Is there a way to make keyboard text shortcuts work better?

    For example: omw = On my way!
    On iOS these work accross the board, but on OS X they only seem to work on certain applications. Such as TextEdit, but have limited or no use in other applications. They work ok in the URL bar in Safari, but try to use them in a text field (such as the one I'm typing in now) and they don't work. It's especially irritating when I try to log into a website, and I can't use my custom shortcut for my email address. I can easily do this on iOS, but not OS X.
    Is there any way I can get text shortcuts to behave better on OS X, or is this a hopeless dream...
    If you don't know how to access them, it's:
    System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text (OS X)
    General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (iOS)
    It's great that they sync accross both platforms, but it's pointless if I can't use them on properly on OS X.

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.

  • Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

    Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
    In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
    We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.
