Forms Items - Required True

Forms6i--
In my Forms,I have an Item which is set to Required True.Suppose I am in this Item and would like to Navigate to any Previous Item without entering any Value. How can I achieve it? Shift+Tab doen't work.
In Forms4.5 Shift+Tab was working fine.
Any Help?
null

In my own experience, it's not possible to navigate from a Required field to another field if the Required field has null value.
you can try setting a space value on the field and put the code in when-validate-item trigger so you can move to another field. a space value is different from null value.
hope this helps.

How to make a conditional required form item

I'm working with an old version of Dreamweaver (CS3) and I'm trying to create a user information registration form. I've got a field for a phone number and then a select box for phone type. I'd like to include an option for a second number and type, but I don't want to make it required. However, if the user enters a number there, I want the type selection box to be a required item. I'm just using the provided spry validation widgets, but I can't find that option anywhere. Is it possible to make that selection box required based upon whether or not the user has entered a value in another field?
Appreciate any help!

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

Simple question about af:panelTabbed and required="true"

Hello,
I have a component af:panelTabbed with four tabs:
In the fourth tab i have an af:inputText with the tag required="true"
The problem is: The required is only applied if i am at the fourth tab (where the inputText is on).
If i am at first tab, the form is commited and the required is not applied.
Any help, please ?

Multiline text in form item

Hi,
I am having the following issue. I have a form with several
items, each of them containing a Text element. When the text is too
long, the text element wraps the text in a second line, but the
form only shows the first line. The curious part is that the form
item's height do increase, but the extra space is shown blank. Any
idea on how to correct this problem?
thanks.

Try giving it a pixel width instead of a percentage.

Which Forms Item properties are converted to APEX?

Has it been documented which Forms item properties are converted to APEX with the Application Migrations tool?
For instance the 'required' property will be converted, but item properties like 'format', 'initial value', 'hint', 'tooltip', 'auto hint', 'justification', 'case restriction' and 'max length' are ignored
I hope more Forms item properties will be converted in a next APEX release.
Regards,
Mathieu

Hello Roel,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have read that piece of paper, but it doesn't tell you in detail what item properties are converted.
I would have liked for instance that the "hint text" property is converted into a help text for a page item.
If the auto hint or tooltip is set in forms, than the Template label of a page item should be set to optional/required with help.
and so on...
There are more item properties which could have a destination in APEX, I reckon.
Now it's difficult to tell which are and which aren't converted.
As soon as you have this kind of list you know which post configuration actions you have to perform.
regards,
Mathieu

Required = true, but Javascript alert boxes Does Not fire ?

Hi,
On my ADF Form (af:form), I have set my attribute : required = true on the adf faces page. (on the entity object, mandatory = true)
But when I press Submit, I do not get any Javascript alert boxes fired, instead, I just see server side validation error.
Why the Javascript alert boxes does not get fired ?
Where is the setting ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Hi Frank,
I use JDev 10.1.3.1 and it does not work.
Yes , the required field similar to #{bindings.ManagerId.mandatory}
I even try to change it to 'true', still no Java script alert, just the server side error.
What is the possibility ?
Thank you,

BC forms the required* is ignored allowing empty submissions

BC forms the required* option is being ignored allowing empty submissions any ideas?

The following cfform code from htmlgoodies.com shows that the required attribute does actually work:
<cfform>
<p>
<label for="name">Name:</label><br />
<cfinput type="text" name="name" required="true" message="Please provide your name." />
</p>
<p>
<label for="email">Email Address:</label><br />

Cycle form item

hello every one,
i've a problem. I load my form ( created by screen scraper) after the click of a button created by me.
But when i open it once when i click the button. I want to open this form every time I click the button. How can I make it? thanks
If pVal.ItemUID = "button1" And pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CLICK And pVal.Before_Action = True Then
            CreateForm()
end if
Private Sub CreateForm()
        '//load form created by Screen Painter
        Dim oXmlDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument
        oXmlDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument
        If Not (oXmlDoc.load("C:\Documents and Settings\neos\Desktop\Demo\primo_form.srf")) Then
            MsgBox("Error Loading xml")
        End If
        SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXmlDoc.xml)
        oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
        '//support Settings feature for grid/matrix
        '//Add condition to the CFL bound to the button
    End Sub

You cannot load the exact same XML file over and over, since it has the same unique ID.
You will need to modify the unique ID property of the form, before you load it.
Here's the function i've written to open XML forms:
Function SBO_Load_XML_Form(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Title As String) As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim XmlDoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim Form As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim Form_UID As String = Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString & Settings("Form_Counter").ToString
    Try
      XmlDoc.Load(FileName) ' Get the XML code from the .xml file specified
      XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Application/forms/action/form/@uid").Value = Form_UID
      XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Application/forms/action/form/@title").Value = Title
      SBO_UI.LoadBatchActions(XmlDoc.InnerXml) ' Load the form to the SBO application
      Form = SBO_UI.Forms.Item(Form_UID) ' Get the form's object by its unique ID
selected
      Form.Left = (SBO_UI.Desktop.Width - Form.Width) 2
      Form.Top = (SBO_UI.Desktop.Height - Form.Height) 2
    Catch ex As Exception
      Msg(ex.Message)
      Form = Nothing
    Finally
      Settings("Form_Counter") = CInt(Settings("Form_Counter")) + 1 ' Increase the form counter, to support the forms' unique ID
    End Try
    Return Form
End Function
For the smooth handling of the unique form IDs (and for other stuff) I use a 'settings' hashtable, defined like this:
' Hash for keeping general settings
Public Settings As New System.Collections.Hashtable
' somewhere in the code, in the initialization functions, i've put the code below.
' this code makes the form unique ID to prevail even if some forms load badly
' and even if you stopped your addon and restarted it while some of your forms
' are still loaded
      Hash.Add("FormsUniqueIDPrefix", "myNameSpace_")
      ' Calculate the form counter, so new forms will be created with correct ordered numbers
      Dim Form_Counter As Integer = 0
      For i As Integer = 0 To SBO_UI.Forms.Count - 1
        Dim FormUID As String = SBO_UI.Forms.Item(i).UniqueID
        If FormUID.StartsWith(Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString) Then
          Dim tmp As Integer = CInt(FormUID.Substring(Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString.Length))
          If tmp > Form_Counter Then Form_Counter = tmp
        End If
      Next
      Form_Counter += 1
      Hash.Add("Form_Counter", Form_Counter)

Referring to dynamically created form items

I have a requirement where I do not know how many rows are going to be added into a table from a form. What I have done is used javascript to dynamically create form fields. This is along the same lines as a tabular form, however it should not save any of the data until the whole page is submitted.
My problem is, how do I then refer to these form items within a PL/SQL procedure?
Below is the piece of javascript that creates new rows on the form (the options for the select item are fed in using ajax). And following that, the pl/sql loop that I have attempted to use which doesn't work.
NOTE: The onchange attribute on each of the form elements was to try to set a session state variable for each of the items. I got this from the following blog post.
http://deneskubicek.blogspot.com/2009/01/ajax-setting-item-session-state.html
Javascript
     var objectFormCount = 0
     function addObjectForm() {
          var newFormHTML = '<tr>';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '<td><select onchange="f_setItem(this.id)" name="f01" id="f01_' + objectFormCount + '"></select></td>';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '<td><input onchange="f_setItem(this.id)" type="text" name="f02" id="f02_' + objectFormCount + '"/></td>';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '<td><input onchange="f_setItem(this.id)" type="text" name="f03" id="f03_' + objectFormCount + '"/></td>';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '<td><input onchange="f_setItem(this.id)" type="text" name="f04" id="f04_' + objectFormCount + '"/></td>';
          newFormHTML = newFormHTML + '</tr>';
          $('#BackEndObjectTable').append(newFormHTML);
          objectFormCount++;
PL/SQL
FOR i IN 0..l_oracle_script_count
LOOP
--DEBUGGING VARS
l_test1 := v('f01_' || i);
l_test2 := v('f02_' || i);
l_test3 := v('f03_' || i);
l_test4 := v('f04_' || i);
l_test5 := i+1;
INSERT INTO MIGRATION_B_OBJECT (MIGRATION_B_ID,TARGET,SCHEMA,SCRIPT_LOCATION,SCRIPT_NAME,RUN_ORDER)
VALUES (l_mig_seq,v('f01_' || i),v('f02_' || i),v('f03_' || i),v('f04_' || i),i+1);
END LOOP;

For anyone with the same requirements. What I had to do was add the value of each form element into a temp table which was basically held key/value pair (form item/value) along with the username, the table that is to be updated and the row number.
Once the actual page was saved, the procedure built up an insert sql string from the values in the temp table and inserted each row.
Works a charm, although spitting the data back out into the dynamic forms is going to be a chore!!!!

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

H:selectOneRadio required true does not work

Hi,
I have a selectOneRadio and it was a required="true" attribute. Some how, it never works. All the other validations in the page work except this one. Any clues??

     <h:message for="selectOneRadioID" errorClass="errorMessage"></h:message>
</h:panelGrid>I don't have immediate on my button. I am using Sun's RI 1.0

Hi Dushy,
Try putting an inline message or message list component in the page. This would show any error messages and it would be easier to understand what is happening if there is an error.

How to update a report from a form on the same page when form item changes

I have a portal form from a table and a portal SQL report with a bind variable on a page. I want the report to get updated with details based upon what was selected from a form item. The form item is a selection from a dynamic LOV. Whenever the form item gets changed, the report should get updated to reflect the change. Can this be done using a javascript ONCHANGE event?
Oracle Portal Version is 10.1.2.2.0.

Your applet can open an URLConnection and read directly a document from your webserver.
public String readText() {
java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)myURL.openConnection(); ...
}So using JavaScript on your page, you might call readText() to fill that textarea.
The interesting link you gave, handled the JavaScript/Applet interaction. Test that with just return "Hello";.
The real programming is more interesting.

Getting a form item to load first in target page

according to ben forta who i met many years ago, cf loads the complete page and then does functions in a particular order. i.e. includes, queries, etc.
my problem is that i am sending over a unique identifer in the formset that is needed in an include on each page of my cart (i don't use cookies or sessions and don't want to get into that).
what i want to know is if there is a way to force cf 10 to look at form. items first. the page needs that number or the include (header.cfm) crashes.
i also have that issue with cfabort where cf does a lot of functions before it recognizes that tag which can really foul up things if a variable isn't there.
site needs to be pci compliant
tnx in advance,

I receive no errors as stated in the original post.
Eventually the webpage does load, but it takes 2 minutes for anything to start happening.
During that time, the program is responsive, but displays no errors or status messages.
This happened in Firefox version 6, as it did for the other poster in this thread.
