Changing form field attributes to multiple fields simultaneously

We have to edit a grid of, say, 10 rows by 10 columns. Every column must be of the same type (date, amount, phone number, etc.) and yet I have to change 100 attributes, one at a time. Multiply that times lots of forms.
Currently, only the justification and a few attributes can be multiply edited.
-Ramon

From what I can see, InfoPath doesn't seem to fit what I need. Is there a way to edit the default edit form or the DataFormWebPart to change a 'Single Line of Text' Field to be a 'Multiple Lines of Text' field?
I appreciate the help,

Change the field attribute of a field in data source - 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1

Hi ,
I have a data source named 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 in CRM system.
The fields PLANNED_TS_FROM and PLANNED_TS_TO are hidden fields i.e. the field attribute is 'A' - Field in OLTP and BW Hidden by SAP.
Following are my doubts:
1. Whether the values of these fields will be extracted into BW or it will not be?
2. How do I change the fields attribute value of these fields(its standard data source)?
3. Is there any SAP note to do this ?
4. If the above doesn't exisits, then should I go for a append structure to the standard data source?
Please help me.
Regards,
Ahmed.

Hi,
U can unhide ur fields in RSA6 and then replicate the datasource in BW. These fileds will come in BW.
You cant change the attribute value for STD DSO.
No SAP note for the same.
You can append the datasource with the new fields with the attribute you want and hide the std. fields then goto BW and replicate it. You can then map it with the BW fields as you want.

How to change the required attribute of a field

Hi,
I'm using jdeveloper 10g, uix and jHeadstart to generate my application.
In my form, I have some attributes that are required and if I change a checkbox, some of these fields that was required, must now be not required.
How can I do this?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Martin

Sounds like a custom validation, but you could also use a partial rendering and EL to achieve this. Lets say you could set the 'required' property of the field based on the EL expression calculating the value in the other field

Copy Field Formats into multiple fields

I have a form that has a spreadsheet layout. Multiple fields need to be formatted as currency or date. Outside of using Java scripts is there a way to copy the formatting of one filed to multipe others? I want to avoid Java script because I'm lousy with it.

Is it possible to have each field separated by a comma? Space
delimiters won't work since not all cities & states are one
word (ie. New York, New York) however a comma delimiter would allow
you to use simple list functions to extract the data.
If this isn't possible but the data is always in the format:
city<comma>state<space>zip, then you could extract the
city using comma as the delimiter and then extract the zip code
using the ListLast() function with space as the delimiter which
would leave you with the state as the remaining text. This would
only work however if your data is consistently in the format
described above.
Failing this you could build two tables with states and
cities and then use them to identify valid states and cities and
extract the data that way.
cheers

Splitting the single field data to multiple fields

Hi,
I have the contents in fieldABC which i would like to copy based on the length of the value
Eg:
Field ABC has value 1
it need to be copied to Field1
FILEDABAC has 1234
it need to be copy in field 2
FILEDABC has 1234ABC
It need to be copy in Field 3
i means to say based on the lenght of the value i would like to copy the contents to multiple fields
Note: the data is for Heirachy...
Can anyone will help with code.
Thanks

Hi,
You mean you want to copy contents of field ABC to Field1,Field2,Field3 based on there length??
if i have correctly understood you then do like:
data : g_strlen type i.
g_strlen = strlen ( ABC ).
if g_strlen = 1.
         field1 = ABC.
elseif g_strlen > 1 and g_strlen <= 4.
         field2 = ABC.
elseif g_strlen > 4 .
         field3 = ABC.
endif.

Change text size font in multiple fields at once

I'm trying to edit an existing pdf form and I want to make the setting for the font smaller in all fields (the auto font before it's altered by rich text formatting) all at the same time rather than each one at a time. How do I do this?

See whether this movie will help: FormFormatting.mp4 - Google Drive
Note the other items that can be adjusted.

Changing The File Type On Multiple Documents Simultaneously

I have over 100 documents that I want to end in ".aif". Is there a way to do this in one pass? I would, if possible, prefer not to have to go through each and every doc individually and change them manually. I've done the very thing on enough ocassions and it's very time consuming to say the least.
I opened Automator, but it didn't seem to have anything for this function. I selected all the files and did a mass "information" (apple "i"), but was not allowed to change the name and extension area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much one and all in advance for all the help and support,
Javier Calderon

Thank you both. Niel, I shall look at some of the options available on the link you provided and see what occurs.
Gnarl, regarding the Applescript, I just took a look at it, and, although it at first glance looks pretty intimidating, I think that this might be the very thing that will get the job done . . . no? I'll try to follow the instructions, cross my fingers, and hope for the best.
Thank you both again.

[Forum FAQ] How to use multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP command line

Introduction
Some people want to know if we can have multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP commands, and how to implement multiple field terminators in BULK INSERT or BCP commands.
Solution
For character data fields, optional terminating characters allow you to mark the end of each field in a data file with a field terminator, as well as the end of each row with a row terminator. If a terminator character occurs within the data, it is interpreted
as a terminator, not as data, and the data after that character is interpreted and belongs to the next field or record. I have done a test, if you use BULK INSERT or BCP commands and set the multiple field terminators, you can refer to the following command.
In Windows command line,
bcp <Databasename.schema.tablename> out “<path>” –c –t –r –T
For example, you can export data from the Department table with bcp command and use the comma and colon (,:) as one field terminator.
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department out C:\myDepartment.txt -c -t ,: -r \n –T
The txt file as follows:
However, if you want to bcp by using multiple field terminators the same as the following command, which will still use the last terminator defined by default.
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department in C:\myDepartment.txt -c -t , -r \n -t: –T
The txt file as follows:
When multiple field terminators means multiple fields, you use the below comma separated format,
column1,,column2,,,column3
In this occasion, you only separate 3 fields (column1, column2 and column3). In fact, after testing, there will be 6 fields here. That is the significance of a field terminator (comma in this case).
Meanwhile, using BULK INSERT to import the data of the data file into the SQL table, if you specify terminator for BULK import, you can only set multiple characters as one terminator in the BULK INSERT statement.
USE <testdatabase>;
GO
BULK INSERT <your table> FROM ‘<Path>’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ' char/native/ widechar /widenative',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ' field_terminator',
For example, using BULK INSERT to import the data of C:\myDepartment.txt data file into the DepartmentTest table, the field terminator (,:) must be declared in the statement.
In SQL Server Management Studio Query Editor:
BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.HumanResources.DepartmentTest FROM ‘C:\myDepartment.txt’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ‘char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,:’,
The new table contains like as follows:
We could not declare multiple field terminators (, and :) in the Query statement, as the following format, a duplicate error will occur.
In SQL Server Management Studio Query Editor:
BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.HumanResources.DepartmentTest FROM ‘C:\myDepartment.txt’
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = ‘char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,’,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘:’
However, if you want to use a data file with fewer or more fields, we can implement via setting extra field length to 0 for fewer fields or omitting or skipping more fields during the bulk copy procedure.

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'

HCM Forms - Dynamic change to field attribute - edit/nonedit

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein 'A' field will be editable to user 1 and 'B' field will be non editable. Then he sends the form. When the 2 user opens the form 'A' field should be non editable and 'B' field should be editable.
I have created 2 steps for the same. Step C and step D.
I have kept the field attribute of both A & B as 'Automatic'.
in step C i am using both the fields while in step D i have not assigned the field A but kept it as relevant and assigned the field B.
But still in runtime both the fields are showing as editable in both the steps.
What am i missing.?
Thanks,
Nikhil

LOVs again! How to return multiple fields to calling form

Hi
Newbie question, any help GREATLY appreciated :)
Is there a simple and easy way to return more than one field from a LOV.
I need this as I have a composite fk comprised of 2 fields, and as such need to return 2 fields from the LOV to the calling form.
(My environment: JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 build 1618)
CM

Thanks, you put me on the right track here. Further investigations show the following sample provided by OTN shows how to use both the session request/response values or a JavaBean to do this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/jdev/10g/ADF_UIX_UserInput.zip
As such I post my solution to my original post. Hopefully it's useful to someone beside myself. I have to write up my notes anyhow so it's no fuss to submit them to the forum. I must admit I'm a newbie and slightly demented Forms programmer so such solutions aren't so obvious to me. With this in mind please include the "standard disclaimer" here, with the addition "mileage may vary" warranty.
For these notes I've used the "HR" demo Oracle schema. In particular the tables departments and employees. As you know there is a master-detail relationship between these 2 tables, where each department may have one or more employees.
We have the requirement on a webpage to:
1) Provide an input-form-with-navigation to edit the employees.
2) Display the relating department_name field, rather than just showing the department_id which is meaningless to the user. For example if the employees.department_id = 40, we wish to show the department name "Human Resources" on the employees record.
3) Provide a LOV for the department ID field to allow the user to change the underlying department_id to a different master departments record.
4) Update 2) given a change via 3).
To do this do the following:
Entity Objects
1) Create default EO/VOs on both tables.
2) In the employees EO, create a new field "DepartmentName" to represent the derived department name field.
3) Set the new EO attribute's selected-in-query field.
4) In the query-column-expression field, enter a query to derive the department name field for each record in the detail-employees-EO.
eg. (SELECT dpt.department_name FROM departments dpt WHERE dpt.department_id = employees.department_id)
Ensure to include the brackets.
5) Apply the changes and accept the warning to create default data-type settings for the new attribute.
View Object
6) In the employees VO, include the new field DepartmentName as a selected attribute from the EO.
7) Apply the changes and accept the warning to create default data-type settings for the new attribute.
8) Test the model by running the ADF BC tester. Once running select the employees VO and step through the records, making sure the DepartmentName field has a value and changes appropriately according to the relating parent department_id.
UIX input-only-form
9) Create a new UIX web page employeesEdit.
10) From the data-control pallete, drag in the employees VO as an input-form-with-navigation.
11) For testing purposes it is also useful to have a create, delete, commit and rollback button, so includes these too.
12) Within the employees VO data-control, also drag across a messageLovInput for the DepartmentId. Position it under the existing DepartmentId messageTextInput within the UIX page. We'll remove the existing messageTextInput later, but it's useful to leave it in for testing purposes initially when the LOV returns values.
UIX LOV
13) Navigate to the default LOV page that has just been created for you.
14) Within the data-control pallete, expand the departments VO, select department ID then LOV-table from the drop-down, and drag this item onto the LOV page.
15) Save your changes.
16) Run your application. For an existing employee, invoke the department LOV and select an alternative department. Note on returning to the employees page the DepartmentID (both the messageTextInput and messageLovInput fields) are updated, but the DepartmentName is not. To do this we need to create a JavaBean to return multiple fields from the LOV to the original form.
JavaBean
17) Within your ViewController project, expand the ApplicationSources-View node.
18) Select the new button, and create a standard JavaBean.
19) Name the bean DepartmentsLov.
20) Via the class editor, add 2 private scope fields DepartmentId and DepartmentName with String data-types, ensuring the create get/set method checkboxes are checked.
21) Make and save your changes.
22) From the navigator drag the newly created java file into the data-control palette.
UIX LOV
23) Return to the LOV webpage.
24) Your LOV page will have a lovSelect event handler something like the following:
<event name="lovSelect">
<set property="inputValue"
value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}"
target="${data.employeesEdit.DepartmentId}"/>
25) Change the lovSelect as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
<compound>
<set property="inputValue"
value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}"
target="${data.employeesEdit.DepartmentId}"/>
<set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}"
property="inputValue"
target="${bindings.JavaBeanDepartmentId}"/>
<set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}"
property="inputValue"
target="${bindings.JavaBeanDepartmentName}"/>
</compound>
26) Within the UI model navigator, right-click on the top node, then create-binding, input, text field.
27) Select the AppModuleDataControl, then DepartmentView, then the DepartmentName field, and then the ok button.
28) In the UI model select the new field, then in the structure pane rename the field to DepartmentName.
29) Within the UI model navigator, right-click on the top node, then create-binding, data, iterator.
30) Select the DepartmentsLovDataControl and name the new iterator DepartmentsJavaBeanIterator.
31) Again in the UI model navigator, right-click on the top node, then create-binding, input, text field.
32) Select the DepartmentsLovDataControl then departmentId field, then the ok button.
33) In the UI model select the new field, then in the structure pane rename the field to JavaBeanDepartmentId.
34) Again in the UI model navigator, right-click on the top node, then create-binding, input, text field.
35) Select the DepartmentsLovDataControl then departmentName field, then the ok button.
36) In the UI model select the new field, then in the structure pane rename the field to JavaBeanDepartmentName.
UIX input-only-form
37) Return to the main employeesEdit UIX form.
38) Your UIX page will have a lovUpdate event handler something like the following:
<event name="lovUpdate">
<null/>
39) Change the lovUpdate as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
<compound>
<set value="${bindings.JavaBeanDepartmentId.inputValue}"
property="inputValue"
target="${bindings.DepartmentId}"/>
<set value="${bindings.JavaBeanDepartmentName.inputValue}"
property="inputValue"
target="${bindings.DepartmentName}"/>
</compound>
</event>
40) Repeat steps 29 through 36 for this page.
41) Within the UIX page find the entries for the departmentId LOV, and the DepartmentName. They should look something like the following:
<messageLovInput id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
destination="lovWindow1.uix"/>
<messageTextInput model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
columns="10"/>
42) Modify these 2 entries as follows:
<messageLovInput id="DepartmentId"
model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
destination="lovWindow1.uix"
partialRenderMode="multiple"
partialTargets="DepartmentId DepartmentName"/>
<messageTextInput id="DepartmentName"
model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
columns="10"/>
43) Finally delete the original DepartmentId messageTextInput field, leaving the DepartmentId messageLovInput.
Testing
44) Open your UIX input-only-form.
45) Call the LOV and change the department for an existing employee record.
46) Return to the employees page and note that the department ID and name have changed.
47) Commit your changes.
48) With your favourite data inspection tool (a'la Toad), check that the employee record's department ID has been appropriately saved to the database.
<The End>
Phew!

Multiple field validation under one form

I have one form and in that form i need to validate multiple inputText fields. Each inputText field has its own button for an input assistance that would later populate that particular inputText field. When i click on one of those buttons the entire page (all fields) gets validated. Does this happen because they are all under one FORM? do we have a better way of doing this and does adding inputHidden after each field fix this? im really new at this JSF. thanks.

If you don't have any required="true" fields, then let your custom validator check which button was pressed by determining the presence of the button in the RequestParameterMap. If your search button has a client ID of for example "formId:searchButtonId", then do something like in the validator:if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().containsKey("formId:searchButtonId")) {
// validate input for search.
}You can even pass the client ID as f:attribute along the UIInput field if you want.
The following two articles aren't strictly what you need, but it might give useful background information:

Hi Patrick,
It works in my test environment using your code.
I suggest follow the steps as below:
1. Save the following code as a js file (TaskListView.js) and upload it into the SiteAssets Document Library.
2. Edit the list view page.
3. Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link.
4. Add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/SiteAssets/TaskListView.js
5. Click "OK" and save the page.
If it still not works, please check whether active the Minimal Download Strategy feature in site feature or not.

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

I have a PDF form that I want to pre-fill multiple fields with example text that disappears onFocus. Is there a way to do this?

Pretty much what my subject line says. My client wants example text in the fields of a PDF form that will disappear when the cursor enters the field. When I try this with show/hide layers, the layer becomes visible as soon as I enter form editing mode, and the action doesn't work properly. Any help? I was able to get it to work with a single field, but multiple fields with example text on multiple layers doesn't work for some reason.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Jeffrey ,
You need to use a custom Format script for the field.

Selecting Multiple fields from fillable form in Adobe Reader

I created a form in Adobe Pro, and want to be able to select multiple fields to cut and paste the results in other parts of the form.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
I would appreciate any help! Thankyou

Go to Form Edit mode, and then you can select multiple fields either in the Fields list, or on the page itself (using Ctrl), or by holding down the mouse and dragging the selection square over them. Then just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the other page, and you'll get copies.
Edit: This can only be done in Acrobat, though. Your title talks about Reader but you post is about Acrobat...
