Duplicate binding of selection menus

Question

I have 3 'selection lists' within a cfform type=html (AJAX)
that are pulling the same data. One in the search area of the form,
a second in the edit area not near the first, allowing the user to
select a new option and a third on a seperate tab in an area where
they can edit the selection list (here there is also an autosuggest
to a slightly different query). All these are actually within the
same form. Is there a better approach assuming they must be in
different areas (e.g., a way to bind the other 2 select menus to
the first to reduce trips back to the data or maybe a better
presentation concept).
1) Search Selection:
Document Type: <cfselect name="strdoctype"
id="strdoctype" display="diadoctypename" selected="#intdoctype#"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:270px; font-size:xx-small" />
2) Edit record field value:
Document Type: <cfinput type="text"
name="editdiadoctypenameText" id="editdiadoctypenameText"
readonly="True" required="No" bind="{searchGrid.diadoctypename}"
style="width:350px;font-size:xx-small" disabled="true" />
or change it: <cfselect name="editdiadoctypename"
id="editdiadoctypename" display="diadoctypename"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:350px;
font-size:xx-small;display:inline" />
3) Show what is there and then allow to Add value to
selection list field with autosuggest to avoid dups:
<span style="float:left">Current Document
Types: </span>
<cfselect name="readEditablediadoctypename"
id="readEditablediadoctypename" display="diadoctypename"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:375px; font-size:xx-small" />
<br clear="left" />
<span style="float:left">Add a new Document
Type: </span>
<cfinput type="text" name="adddiadoctypename"
id="adddiadoctypename"
autosuggest="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readSuggestdiadoctypename({cfautosuggestvalue})"
autosuggestminlength="1" typeahead="no"
style="width:375px;font-size:xx-small; margin-bottom:7em" >

Answer 1

Karri,
I just want to have the authorization role name entered in my start form as input for my method.
Scenario:
The user runs the start transaction and enters a authorization role name in the field Then he starts the workflow and transaction PFCG automatically starts as next step for initiator. Now i want the authorization role name appeare in PFCG.
My container element for start forms is ZAGR_FORM and refers to a dictionary table with same name containing the field AGR_NAME. My method is a self defined method of BO-subtype Z_ROLE being delegated from business object 'ROLE' containing key field AGR_NAME of table ZAGR_FORM.
In the step container i can't bind the element ZAGR_FORM to '_Wi_Object_ID' to have the effect i want. The error meassege is
"An object compatible with 'BO.Z_ROLE' was expected as the source expression."
The same message also during creation of a container operation.
Can it be solved by modifiing the program of method?
Here is the generated code:
"BEGIN_METHOD ZPFCG CHANGING CONTAINER.
  CALL TRANSACTION 'PFCG' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
END_METHOD."
I hope this helps you for more details.
Regards
Mehran
