Fields required based on a value in another field

Hi,
I am looking to have fields required (Annual Revenues and # of Employees) based on the value of another field (Ownership). Basically, if the value is Public the user is required to enter the Annual Revenue and Employees fields. I thought about using dynamic layouts but the only key field for Accounts is Account Type.
Thanks,
Caryn

Hi Caryn!
I think it is not possible for making #Employees and Revenues required depending on Ownership(as it is a look up field).. it should be possible if you want to do it on any other criteria other than ownership by just renaming the Account Type, Disable all the values of Account Tyope add new values to Pick List and make it driving picklist upon your requirements..
If you require Account Type, create a custom picklist "Account-Type" and add the values.

Field Read Only based on a value of another field

Hello,
In our project we´d like to have Field A made Read Only based on a value of Field B. Otherwise it should be R/W.
Would this be possible in OnDemand ?
Txs. a lot for any help.

If your field is the key field that helps in dynamic layout then this is possible. If not try doing a validation on the field.

How to make Multi Select Picklist Field Required Based on another field

Hi,
I want to make one filed which is Multi select Required(mandatory) based on certain value in another filed.
I tried putting IIf([<FieldNAme>]> 1000 AND [<FiledNAme1>] IS NULL,"Invalid",[<FieldNAme>]) in the Field validatation as but it is not working.
Please suggest any workaround available.
Warm Regards
Pramod
Edited by: user11361975 on Jun 3, 2011 5:03 AM

I guess FieldName1 is the multiselect picklist you are referring to?
Where did you get the ITAG from? I don't see any multiselect picklists available in Expression Builder. I doubt whether you can set validations on multi select picklists at all.
If anyone has achieved this please let me know as well.

Populate one text field on a form based on the value in another

I am new to APEX and building my first application.
When a user enters a value in one field, I would like to run a SQL command and then display a value in another field based on the value in the first field. For instance, if a user enters a part number in one field, when they tab off of the field, I would like to display the name of the part in the part name field.
Thanks

Thanks. That put me on the right track. I used that link to find the link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11:2890374750690437 and then using the two was able to put together a solution.
I am down to one last issue. I am able to return the name back from the process and display it with an alert statement. Unfortunately, I am unable to display the value on the form.
I am doing the following.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_getCustomerName(id)
var v_id = id;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getCustomerName',$v('pFlowStepId'));
get.addParam('x01',$v('P2_CUSTOMER_ID'));
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
gReturn = (!gReturn)?'null':gReturn;
/* The below do not work
$s('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME',gReturn);
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = gReturn;
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = 'TEST';
alert(document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value );
alert(gReturn);
//-->
</script>
Process: getCustomerName
declare
l_customer_id customer.customer_id%type;
l_customer_name customer.customer_name%type;
begin
l_customer_id := to_number(wwv_flow.g_x01);
select customer_name
into l_customer_name
from customer
where customer_id = l_customer_id;
htp.p(l_customer_name);
end;

PO Form with Terms & Conditions that Change Depending on a Value in Another Field

Hi - I have read through the relevant topics in this forum and have attempted several of them without luck. I am currently working on a form in which there is an empty JFMain (I do not want to populate fields on this page since I don't want things in this page my "static" header - logos, title, etc. since the Terms and Conditions pages should not show any of this.) On my page 2, I have subforms for all my fields except my Terms and Conditions. (These fields are controlled by a data file.) On my remaining pages I have 3 sets of Terms and Conditions - all about a page long - hard-coded as text and placed in subforms with a dummy field off page to ensure they print. What I want to do is print the subforms from page 2 and then the applicable terms from page 3, 4, or 5 depending on the value in a field located in one of the subforms on page 2. What I currently get is my subforms and then ALL my terms printing. Any thoughts?
My preamble overrides look like this:
^define group:D_HEADER \field$POSITION\reserve".11",in\subformHEADER.
^define group:G_HEADER @group:D_HEADER.
^define group:dummy!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Private_Commodity
^define group:dummy2!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Private_Services
^define group:dummy3!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Public
^define group:JfEndData!EndData @group:D_end.
I had to place the JFEndData! statement into the Preamble since the last subform with fields called before the Terms subforms has a global field from another subform above it. For whatever reason, it was duplicating this subform after printing the Terms and Conditions.
I tried adding a nested if statement into field that will control when I want each subform to print but it was ignored. I also tried hardcoding a group call into the preamble with the logic as well with no results. If someone has example code they can share, this would be great.

I receive Adobe help forum posts via email and I've been saving a few for the pointers they contain. I have some saved that might help you out a bit...
A reply to the "Please can some one help me out......." post by Mr BoJangles on 10/29/2007 gives some information about forcing a subfield to be displayed.
A reply to the "Conditional logic" post by Marco Degl'Innocenti on 8/2/2006 gives information on initiating a subform based on the value of a field in the data stream.
A reply to the logic post by Marco DeglInnocenti on 2/22/07 also gives information on initiating a subform based on the value of a field.

10.1.3--Disable a field according to values of another field.

Hi,
I am trying to set a filed on the JSP to be disalbed according to values of another field.
eg. When the value in "ID" field is NOT 10 or 20, the "Bill" field should be disabled.
I have tried using only one condition which is when "ID" != 10 or "ID" != 20. They work fine. But when I try to combine two conditions together using "&&" sign, I got a syntax error. The JSP does not display at all. I asked an expert about it, the answer is:
#{(bindings.Deptno.inputValue.value !=10) &&(bindings.Comm.inputValue.value > 1000)}. I tried this on my application and got the same syntax error.
Has anybody had a similar situation? Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks in advance.
Annie

Hi bsalvador,
I've had a simular situation once where I needed to make items disabled or required depending on a workflow step and on depending on other page items. Basically the disabling of items is done by javscript, keep in mind that readonly is not the same as disabled. When you use readonly, the item can still be manipulated with javascript. When you disable an item, the item is not even submitted to the database, so you have to make sure that your submit process can hadle that.
There are two different situations:
First you have the page load / page submit, there you can use PL/SQL to check which items should be submitted, hand them a javascript class or make them readonly/disabled straight away.
Second you have a situation where you want to disable certain items depending on the value of other items. This is done 'on the fly' and should be handled with a javascript function.
Keep in mind however that javascript runs client side and isn't a secure way to handle data integrity, so you would need a database process to validate which items need to be submitted as well.

Vincent Deelen

Form Personalization - Make field required based on LOV selection

Newbie here.
I am trying to make a field required based on the selection of the LOV that is next to it. Having a heck of a time with it.
The form i am working on is the Sub Invenntory form that you get to via Organization Items. We want the subinvnetory field to be manditory when subinv is selected from the LOV in the sources tab.
here is what i have so far:
CONDITION
Trigger Event: WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Obj: ITEM_SUBINVENTORIES
Condition: ${item.item_subinventories.SOURCE_TYPE.value} = 3
Action
Type: Property
Object Type: Item
Target Object: ITEM_SUBINVENTORIES.SOURCE_SUBINVENTORY
Property Name: REQUIRED
Value: TRUE
The problem seems to be that i can't get the field to be required. It shows up yellow but still allows me to save w/ the field being blank.

I do not know about the particular form that you are trying to personalize, but whenever I have created a condition, it has usually been in the following syntax:
:BLOCK_NAME.FIELD_NAME = 'VALUE'
For example, :MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS.PRIMARY_UNIT_OF_MEASURE_MIR = 'SEAT'
Yours seems to be very much different from mine, but then again, I am not technical so I cannot comment intelligently on that aspect.
May be that is the problem.
Also, once you get it to work, you might want to also add a condition where the field is turned to un-required when the SOURCE_TYPE is NOT 3.

Field with a default value from another field

I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail. I tried to make the scripting work in Acrobat 6 and then decided that maybe I needed to upgrade, so I'm now trying it in Acrobat 8 with no results. Can anyone help?

How can I have a field date2 which has the default value of field date1, but which can be edited by the user if necessary without changing the value of date1.
I've tried, but I just can't figure it out!
Any help much appreciated.

This, or some variation of this, should work:
if(this.getField("date2").value == ""{
this.getField("date2").value = this.getField("date1).value;

Ben PF - 6:49am Mar 23, 07 PST (#2 of 2)
Thanks very much.
I put it in at document level to start, but it didn't run the script automatically when date1 was first filled in, so I have put it in as a mouse exit action in date1 and it works a treat.
Thanks for your help.
Ben

Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
Put this:
this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

Validating an attribute based on the value of another while inserting

Hi guys
I need to validate an attribute based on the value of another attribute.
Example:
inside some entity I have the following validation function
public boolean validateAtt1(Number data){
     if (this.getAtt2() < some vlaue)
          return false;
     return true;
this function works fine when I'm updating a record, but when I'm inserting a new record the this.getAtt2 return null, now I don't want to override the validateEntity function I want to override the validate function for att1; so in other words is there a way to reach att2 in the validation function of att1 when I'm inserting a new record, because the this.getAtt2() returns null if I'm inserting a new record.

Using attribute-level setter methods won't work because when the value of a particular attribute is being set, the values of the other attributes might not yet have been set. This explains for example why it does not work when inserting a new record. You therefore have to validate at entity level.
Rather than coding on the validateEntity() method you use a built-in Validator or Method Validator. When recording validators like this, you can provide a separate message for each business rule. If you also have the bundled exception mode enables (which will be the case by default for web applications), then multiple messages can be shown at the same time.
If you have one business rule involving two different attributes, for example a and b, and you must provide different messages based on if a is causing the violation or b, you can do it like this:
- implement one method doing the validation and that will indicate which attribute is causing the violation
- implement two different method validators (with two different messages) that call the method doing the actual validation and return false based on the attribute causing the violation
For more information about implementing business rules in ADF BC, you might have a look at this white paper:

How to Visible/Hide an Item based on the value of another Item

Hi
I need to visible and hide a textitem based on the value of another item.This form has 3 blocks, and the both item is in the first Master Block.
My code is:
if :RECORDTYPE=7 then
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
ELSE
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
:BLOCK.ITEM:=NULL;
end if;
I wrote the code in the Validate Trigger, but not working when moving Next Record & Previous Record
Thanks in advance
Rizly

Read the 'Propagation of Property Changes' section towards the end of the page for Set_Item_Property in the online help. I'm not sure what you mean by locking automatically but perhaps it's because of this.
You should also ensure the item you're setting to invisible is not the current item (check :system.cursor_item and go to a different item if necessary).

To get the value in a field based on lov selection of another field.......

Hi all,
I have a requirement where

hope i am clear
waiting for ur responce.....
DEV......

Hi,
Assuming you are having two fields on the page. One LOV for empID (ID: empIDV) and messageTextInput for emp Name (ID: empNameV)
1) Create a VO for your LOV having a query like SELECT emp_num, emp_name FROM employees;
2) Create region for LOV using table using wizard based on the VO created above (choose emp_num as messageStyledText and emp_name as formValue). Also make search allowed true for emp_num.
3) Create a LOV map1:
LOV region item: empId
Return item: empIDV
Criteria item: empIDV
4) Create lovMap2:
LOV region item: empName
Return item: empNameV
Also try to implement dependent LOVs : http://sushantsharmaa.blogspot.in/2012/12/10-dependent-lov-in-oaf.html

Make a field required based on input in another field

So I have researched the forum to answer the question of how to make certain fields in a form required if a value is entered in another designated field, and not required if no value is entered in the designated field.
For example:
There is a field titled QTY_paper, and if a value is entered into QTY_paper, then the field PROGRow1 should become required.
If no value is entered into QTY_paper, then PROGRow1 is not required.
I've tried both FormCalc and Javascript, but with no results. In FormCalc I added this script as a mouseExit event on QTY_paper:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
     //Make the budget field Required
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error";
endif
and then I added this script in FormCalc to the mouseExit event on PROGRow1:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
$.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif
This came almost verbatim from another post on the forum, so I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious here... which isn't too odd as I'm still pretty new at adding the scripts. Please help if you can!

You'd want to combine both scripts on the first field with an if/else statement. And I'd use the Exit event instead of Mouse Exit (not sure if Mouse Exit handles tabbing in and out of fields).
The first script should have worked, but with the second script you were asking if PROGRow1 was null, not QTY_paper.
FormCalc:
if ($.isNull) then
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error"
else
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif
