In a Form, how can I populate a field?

I created a form based on a table to be used for updating records. One of the columns is USER_LAST_MODIFIED. When the user opens the form, he will see USER_LAST_MODIFIED filled out with the last user who updated that row. If the user hits Update, I want USER_LAST_MODIFIED to be automatically populated with portal.wwctx_api.get_user . How can I do that? Default value only applies if the column is already null. Thanks for any help.

Pasted the posting below:
Hi Inga:
I do set defaults at the item level ... similar to what you did. However, these fields are set to null under the query button 'onclick' java script. This is necessitated because the query button generates an error if any of the fields have a default value. Also, I cannot update a row without querying. Now that these are set to null .... when I update a row these columns have a null value.
After posting this message I found info on this site to work around the problem.
Entered this code in the 'Update button' (PL/SQL code) and it worked.
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_LAST_CHANGE_USER',
p_value => portal.wwctx_api.get_user);
Fred:
Portal is down at this moment. I will click on the icon next to the message and see if it gives any other info once portal is up and running.
Thanks for the input!!!

  • How to create a form that can auto-populate all fields based on a specific selection?

    We have created a template for each type of package used in our business.  The template is the same but depending on the package selected, the fields would be populated differently.  How can we create a template to load the fields based on the specific package selected?  We use Adobe Acrobat Pro in creating the templates.

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (http://formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form.

  • How can I populate a pdf with database data?

    How can I populate a pdf that we have on our server with database data on our server?

    Actually, if you export it in the right format then you won't need a script
    at all.
    You can import data directly into fields from a plain-text file via Tools -
    Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...
    I believe the format is tab-delimited with the field names in the first row
    and their values in the second.

  • How can I format a field in the form creator?

    How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
    I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

    This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but  a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field  "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
    Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure  to assign unique form field  names.

  • How can I populate the users in the Directory Server?

    Hi all,
    I'm a new of Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2, I've just install a copy of it on Win2000 server and I have a small question to ask.
    How can I populate the users (This user can be use to login in to Sun ONE install messenger) in the Directory Server using the Directory server's admin console?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tuan Anh,

    Thanks Ramnath,
    I've read your suggest, but actually, I really wanted to know how to populate user and password. I've read some thing below in Sun ONE Directory 5.2 Getting Started Guide.pdf
    � o=userRoot
    During installation, a user database is created by default. The default name of
    the user database is o=userRoot. You can choose to populate this database at
    installation, or to populate it later.
    But I don�t know the related document, I have create successful user and pass by using admin console. But can not user this user to login in to Instant messenger.
    I'm looking forward to receive your help

  • How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

    Hello, folks :)
    I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
    The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
    I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
    How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
    Thanks for your replies :)
    P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
    One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

    I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(

  • How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

    How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
    I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
    I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
    Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    i also got same query can u pls tell me elaborately, if u can can u pls send some code.
