How Do I: Fill a read-only field based on selections from 2 DDlists?

Follow-up from issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2417876#2417876
I have 2 drop-down lists... "Department" and "SubDepartment"
The selection in DDlist "Department" spawns a unique list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
I select the proper items from both DDlists.
When I do this, I want read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" to be populated with a pre-defined entry.
Example:
In "Department" DDlist, select item "Finance & Administration"
In "SubDepartment" DDlist, select item "Food Service" from the list that appears
THEN:
In read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" the following predefined read-only text appears: "Contract Food Serv."
(Thanks to Paul, I already know how to make the selection in DDlist "Department" affect the selection list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
but I don't know how to make the selection of both DDlists create a new pre-defined entry in a text field.)
I have attached a mockup of the file I am working with...

I tried that but a few things went wrong.
1. After I select "Food Service" in the second "SubDepartment" DDlist, a Javascript error message pops up (see attached), and I have to click it to make it go away. Then the text "Contract Food Serv" appears in the text box.
2. If I select a different value in the Department DDlist, the rawtext still remains in place... it should clear out.
3. The raw text seems to be based on the selection of the SubDepartment DDlist only. However, I need specific raw text to be generated based on the combination of BOTH DDlists. (It could happen that a totally different Department DDlist could have the same item in its corresponding SubDepartment DDlist. In that case, the rawtext would be completely different.)
Correct example:
Department DDlist = Finance & Administration
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- CORRECT
Incorrect example:
Department DDlist = Clinical Services
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- INCORRECT (it might be something else)

Display read only field in table / form from another vo

i came across couple of scenarios where i had to bring a field in a table / from from other vo than on which most fields in table / form were based. in all cases i had to display the field from another vo as read only and there was only one record in other vo which was related to previous vo in table / form. for this i created a view accessor and created a soc with model driven lov. the problem with this is that first element alwasy shows blank in soc. how can i display the filled soc with first element populated and read only in this scenario. i tried alternatively with groovy expressions but other people in team said it is not good practice to use groovy expressions to fill fields in one VO from other VO. how can i acheive this requirement with soc component / lov / view accessors. is there any other alternative as well. jdev 11 1 1 5

1) in the attribute of the VO select the 'List of values' node and edit the list attribute you see there; in the dialog select the UI Hints tad and make sure the checkmark for the 'Include "no Selection Item' is off.
2) you can base a VO on to EO which are then joined via one or more attributes (association)

Automatically fill input fields based on selection from dynamic drop down

Hi All,
I tried to search before posting, but i cannot find appropriate thread (maybe wrong keyword).
My scenario:
1. In my offline interactive form, I have:
    a. Material Number --> drop down field with "Allow Custom Text Entry" ticked
    b. 1 execution button to call web service
    c. Material Group - Input Field (Read Only)
2. User will enter material number with wild card character (eg: ABC*).
    User will then click the execution button.
    Web Service in result will return all materials that match the entered material number.
    Dynamic binding will do the magic to generate the drop down list.
3. Beside material number, web service will also return material description and material group.
    Below is the illustration:
     Material        Description       Material Group
     ABC              Material ABC           GRP01
     ABCDE        Material ABCDE          GRP02
--- so far so good ---
My requirement:
Every time user select material from the drop down list, i want to auto-populate field "Material Group" (which value is also returned by web service).
I know i need to put the script on event change of the drop down field.
But i don't know how to read internal table returned by web service.
Hope someone can enlighten me.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Populate field based on selection from another field?

I'm using a Data Connection with a SQL query that returns two fields (StNameFull and ADDRKEY). I have a drop-down list called "Address" with the list items dynamically bound to StNameFull, so the user can select the address.
What I'm trying to do is populate the second field "Key" with the corresponding record, based on the selection made from the drop-down list.
Is it possible to script this so that when the Address is selected the Key will automatically fill in with the key that matches the address selcted?
I currently have "Key" as a text field bound to ADDRKEY, but not sure how to have it check what was selected in "Address"
Thanks so much,
- Kevin

Yes it is possible but you will have to write some script to do it. You wil also have to ge the DataConenction to execute a SQL statement. There is a good blog on this topic at this location:

How to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout

Hi, does anyone know how to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout? I am using: Style Class = AFFieldNumberMarker, but it only seems to work if the field is disabled. Disabling the field gives it a difference appearance that does not look right on our forms. These are calculated fields, which cannot be modified, so read only is necessary.
I have looked online for some answers, and it seems that others are having similar issues.
I have tried different combinations for the properties, but so far I cannot get it to work.
Thanks

How to make read only field in Task list?

Hi All,
How to make read only field in Task list?

This can be done one of two ways:
1. Customize the form in Infopath, right click your field and disable the control.
2. Use JavaScript/jQuery on the page to disable the element.

Read Only Fields

When a read only field is in a user role and the field is removed, the read only flag disappears.
How can controls be implemented so that a role can not be added back in and the read only doesn't follow.
It is important to have some fields read only and some edittable and they may change periodically.

There is two ways to make a field "Read Only". (1) in step 2 of a Layout (2) Edit the field in the Field Setup.

Read only field

Hi friends,
I have to make one field in the selection screen(report) as a read only field. Can you suggest how to do it.
regards,
John

Hi,
You can refer to the following code:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
loop at screen.
if screen-name eq 'PNPS$MSL'.
screen-active = 0.
endif.
modify screen.
endloop.
Hope this helps.
Reward if helpful.

Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

Hi Guys,
I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.
Thanks

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Field Validation on Read Only Field

I'm trying to create a pop up error box if a field contains null values. The problem is that the field I'm trying to do the validation on is a read-only field. It's the Account field on the Contact Object or Module. It won't allow me to include validation. The goal here is to have a POP UP ERROR box come up if someone does not select a value for that field. Making it required doesn't generate a popup box, it only has a small "required" text next to the field which can be easily missed by a user. Any ideas?

Hi !
I found the way to do what you wan't, but it sounds a bit strange for me...
You have to put a field validation on the Account Id field. I made some tests to know what is in the AccountId field when it's blank and i see that the value is "No Match Row Id" !!
So your validation rule must be simply
*<> "No Match Row Id"*
It worked for me, the error message appears... But I think this is something we have to report to Oracle...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

SPD Workflow - Update a hidden/read only field

Hi there,
I have a list with a hidden/read only field (ie Status). So the user cannot update this field using the form or datasheet ...etc.
I have an SPD workflow that I was hoping would modify the value of the Status field. But it appears as though the option to modify it is not available as long as it is hidden and/or read-only. Aka, the field doesn't show up in the list of fields
to modify for the "Set field on current item" action.
I was hoping to avoid importing this into a visual studio project and adding in code, which I believe would do the trick; so are there any solutions that I can do within SPD itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eirc,
as i understand you question you want to update hidden filed from workflow ?
solution 1 when workflow started it change field read only to false and after completing workflow
change it again true. by code.
Solution 2 Use javascript to make the field read only on presentation.
http://sputility.codeplex.com/ check this lib that might help you to manage readonly field on runtime
Solution 3 : you achieve by setting column level permission

Any difference in signature lock function, read-only field property, & signed tab "Mark as read-only

Is there any real difference between
1) simply setting a field to read-only in a custom script on the Signed tab of a signature field by:
this.getField("field name").readonly = true;
2) including the field in the "Mark as read-only: " list of fields on the Signed tab of a signature field
and, 3) including the field in a call to the setLock() method of a signature field?
As far as I can tell there isn't, but am I missing something? And if they are all the same, then since setLock() must execute in a priviledged context, it seems the harder way to get a read-only field.

Hi Ron,
It certainly sounds like you are on the right track.What version of Acrobat are you using, is it Pro or Standard, Mac or Win? I see where you mentioned the file was created in Acrobat X, but I'm not sure that the app that create the PDF file is the same version as the one you are using for editing.

Read only fields clear with for actions

Read only fields that are populated via lov mappings clear when any button is pressed on the page. This only happens when the field is read only or disabled. Is this intended and if it is what is the workaround???

The button must be a submit button.
Readonly fields or messageStyledTexts are not formElements, that they can post the value back to the ViewObject. Hence they just pass empty value to the underlying VO, when pressed formSubmit. The empty value refreshes the UI when the page refreshes after submit.
Workaround for this is to have formValuebean that has the same VO attribute and the same LOV mapping as the readOnly field or MessageStyledText. It will act as mirror to submit the values.

Hi Linda,
I just tried it, and was able to convert a Word .doc to to PDF, in spite of the fact that it was marked Read Only. Here are the instructions for uploading and converting to PDF with Acrobat.com:

Upload a value in read-only field using Webservices or Workflow

Can you please let me know if is feasible to upload a value into a read-only field using webservices or workflow
If so, can you please provide an example?
Thanks

Using WS, you cant update the field value, if it is set as "Read-Only" @ the object - Field definition level, but you can update that using WS if it is set as "Read-Only" @ the layout level. Same applicable to Workflows too
