Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;

Livecycle populate text field with multiple records from list box

Can someone tell me how can I populate a text field from list box when I have multiple select.
Here is example:
List box consist: Hello
 World.
I want to see this in text field: Hello,World.
Thanks!

Hi Legro
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you can do something like this:
----------------- java script begin ---------------------------------
//Reset text field
TextField.rawValue = "";
//loop through items in listbox
for(i = 0; i < ListBox.length; i++)
 //if item selected
 if(ListBox.getItemState(i))
 //check if Text field value if null
 if (TextField.isNull)
 TextField.rawValue = ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
 else
 TextField.rawValue = TextField.rawValue + " " + ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
----------------- java script end ---------------------------------
I have attached an sample PDF so that you can see how it works!!

How do you auto-populate a text field based on entries in other text fields?

I would like to be able to have a text field that populates as "Complete" or "Incomplete" based on whether all the mandatory text fields have been filled out or not.
For example, if the "First Name," "Last Name," and "City" text fields are not filled out, the "completion status" text field will show "Incomplete" and once they are filled out, the "completion status" text field will turn into "Complete."
How would I do this using javascript? I've searched the web for a tutorial, but most of the results seem to be dropdown-centric.
Please point me in the right direction!

Try the script below. I put this on the calculate event for Field1
if(FirstName.rawValue == null || LastName.rawValue == null || City.rawValue == null){
Field1.rawValue = "Incomplete"
else
Field1.rawValue = "Complete"

How to autopopulate a text field with unique data from multiple data sets

Hi,
I'm a laboratory manager in charge of a hospital project which will be using pdf forms to send and receive data from our end users across the city. I need help with the last part of our pdf form, specifically with a js that will do a bit of text-field autopopulation magic. This, unfortunately, is a beyond what I have taught myself about pdf js functionality.a
The problem:
I need to provide my end users with a text field containing a set of data [A, B, C, D, E, F ...] and the total items in this set [tot#]. The end user needs this information as part of the implementation of this particular laboratory machine.
The particulars
When the end user asks for an experiment to be run, we must specify some pieces of data to help them interpret the results. These are constructed as panels which contain discrete data elements.
For example - One experiment may use two panels, Panel#1 and Panel #2. Panel #1 includes the items A, B, D, E, Panel #2 includes the items A, B, C, F, G.
Thus, the panels may share some of the same items, but, I only want the unique members to be displayed in the text field. If I make a drop down box or checkboxes with the panels, I want to be able to select the panels that we ran and (in this example) have the text field display only the unique items among all the panels that were used:
textfield outpute = A, B, C, D, E, F, G - 7 total.
Any assistance from the pdf community would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for that help.
I should have made it more apparent that I'm very new to scripting and I'm
not a programmer by trade. I have a few questions before modifying the code
you kindly provided.
1) Where should I embed this script? Within the 'selection change' area of
my listbox?
2) Can I replace the term 'arr' with the names of the various items in my
listbox or should I put 'arr#' as the output value for each term?
3) Will this script find and display the unique values when a user selects
multiple items in my listbox?
4) How does the script know where to output the unique members of the
combined set?
I appreciate your patience with me.

How to populate a text field by some value from table in Oracle seeded page through Personalization?

I have to populate Description field by default in AGIS page (Advanced Global Intercompany System).
Field Description:
messageTextInput: Description
VO: FunTrxHeaderVO
VO Attribute: Description
VO is entity based.
Now if the field is null then I have to populate this value by some value from table for selected batch_id.
Example:
(SELECT DESCRIPTION FROM fun_trx_batches WHERE batch_id =
211061)
Also, this value is being populated in the Batch Information region in the same page. So the problem is also be treated as to copy a value from one messageStyledText to messageTextInput in a same page.
Can this be done through personalization, w/o coding?
Please suggest if you any idea how to resolve..

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it

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

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Nifty Styles
(Norfolk, England)
P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.

Nifty

Text field with autocomplete is always NULL

Greetings,
I am new to Apex so I am sure I am missing something obvious. I am using Apex 4.0.1 What I have done is created a form on a table page and added a new text with autocomplete page item. This new text field does not correspond to a column in the table. What I am trying to do is allow the user to use the autocomplete item to make a selection. Then when the user submits the page, I want to use the substr function on the value in the autocomplete field and populate one of the table fields. I have tried using PL/SQL functions in validations and computations but I have found that the value of the autocomplete field is always NULL. I can access the other fields that are associated with a table column fine. It must be something simple. Thanks for your help.
Page Items
P2_F1 - text field with auto complete. Not associated with a table column
P2_F2 – Text field. Is associate with a table column
This is what I want to do:
Entered this in a validation
begin
if :P2_F1 is not null then
:P2_F2 := substr(:P2_F1,1,5);
end if;
end;Thanks again
Edited by: LRM on Jan 22, 2011 5:25 PM

hi,
The PL/SQL function can also work when you choose Computation point: After submit.
For reading You can refer APEX documentation

Hello Pabitra,
I had a similar issue in my Project.
Please verify if the SMOD enhancement MBCF0002 (EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) is active in your system.
If this is the case, verify from two angles:
a) Whether the Enhancement was accidentally activated - If yes, then De-activate the same
b) If there is some logic coded in the User Exit, but, the Text is somehow not determined...even the existing content in the text field (input to EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) will get vanished.
Hope that your problem will be resolved by this. Pls reward points.

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.
Hi.
I have a Sharepoint 2013 list with three fields. Code, Section and Sub Section.
I would like to be able to have the form autopopulate the Section and Sub Section fields when a value for code is entered.
How would I go about this please?
Thanks
Jon

Hi JonMorgan,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to achieve that the second dropdown gets populated depending on what the first dropdown is set to.
To achieve your requirement, creating cascading dropdown fields with InfoPath.
Please refer to the following links about cascade drop down in InfoPath form:

Having issues with populating a Text Field with data from 2 other fields

I have 3 fields Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.
Tools_1a_pri is a drop down combo with a predefined list. One of the options is "Other". When "Other" is selected, the text field Tools_1a_pri_other becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.
The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows either text stating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.
When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works. When I select other, it appears that nothing has changed. It requires that I click on another field before it populates. This is confusing to the user.
Tools_1a_pri Validate code
this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value=="Other" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Tools_1a_pri_txt Calculation code
//if nothing is selected, do the following
if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {
event.target.textColor = color.red
event.value = "No primary tool identified";
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value != "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value;
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is not selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value + " - " + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;

You made the classic mistake of using the assignment operator in an if-statement instead of the comparison operator. Change this line:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
To this:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value == "Other") {

Import Text Data to text fields with folder level script

I am using Adobe 9 professional and have a folder level javascript to import text into existing fields of a pdf.
There are multiple fields with multiple rows of data to be imported.
The folder level script is not working (but there are no errors in the console showing when run)
I have manually tested opening the text file with the following code in the console and the text file opens and populates the text fields, so the text file must be correct:
this.importTextData();
The following code is the folder level script which is not working:
function mailmergeFunction()
// Import the first row of data from "Mailmerge.txt"
this.importTextData("/h/mail merge/Jo Smith's Things/Mailmerge.txt", 0)
if (typeof cnt == "undefined") cnt = 0;
this.importTextData("/h/mail merge/Jo Smith's Things/Mailmerge.txt", cnt++ % 4)
app.trustedFunction(mailmergeFunction);
app.addToolButton({cName: "Mail merge",cExec: "mailmergeFunction()",cTooltext: "Mail Merge",cEnable: true,nPos: 14});
If anyone can please provide some assistance, it will be most appreciated thanks.

Working fine now, changed the location of the file path - could have been something to do with having an apostrophe.
function mailmergeFunction()
app.beginPriv()
// Import the first row of data from "Mailmerge.txt"
this.importTextData("/h/mail merge/Mailmerge.txt", 0)
if (typeof cnt == "undefined") cnt = 0;
this.importTextData("/h/mail merge/Mailmerge.txt", cnt++ % 4)
app.endPriv()
app.trustedFunction(mailmergeFunction);
app.addToolButton({cName: "Mail merge",cExec: "mailmergeFunction()",cTooltext: "Mail Merge",cEnable: true,nPos: 14});
Thank you for your assistance George, much appreciate your help.

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

How to create Using Formatted Text Field with multiple Sliders?

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.
