Populate a Floating Field from Multiple Choices in a Drop Down List

Hi, folks, it's been a while which means things have been going smoothly. But what I'm trying to do at the moment has me stumped.
I have a form that was originally made with a long section of checkboxes that our agents would check if the answers applied to the client's case. This meant that the client had a whole bunch of information that didn't apply to them on the form so I thought would be clearer for the client if the agent would select only those items that pertained to them in a List Box. I used a List Box for multiple choices because several choices could apply to their case. And I wanted those selections to relayout to a floating text field in a paragraph but for the life of me, I can't seem to make that happen. I tried switching to a Drop Down Field and that allows only one selection to relayout.
The paragrah reads "To proceed, we need the following information or the documents identified below:" and then the 15 items would be listed with the checkboxes.
Any suggestions as to how I should do this?

What if you leave them as checkboxes and just put a pre-print event in each of the 15 items to make them visible or hidden based on their value?

  • In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list?

    In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list... so that a user is REQUIRED to make selection instead?
    I've set the question as "required", but the default answer makes this useless.
    I want to make sure people actively answer this question rather than accidentally missing it, and me ending up with the default rather than the correct answer!

    Thanks Gilad.
    Similar to what you suggested, I utlimately opted to put a question mark "?" as the default answer - it's just a pity this doesn't address my need for users to be "required" to answer the question.

  • Columns in af:table rendering multiple times when filtering drop-down list

    Technology: JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 SU5, ADF Faces/BC
    Page design:
    Master-detail jspx.
    Each section is an af:table.
    Drop-down lists created using instructions from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/screencasts/editabletabledropdown/dropdownlistineditabletable.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
    Requirement:
    Data in a drop-down list on a child record needs to be filtered based on data from one or more columns in the currently selected row of the parent record.
    Issue:
    Drop-down lists have been successfully filtered using a couple of different methods, however, any time the data from the parent record is used to filter the data the columns in the child af:table begin to render multiple times. Navigating through the parent rows may cause the child records to have the correct number of columns displayed or multiple copies of the columns displayed.
    Removing any reference to the parent view object and hard-coding values instead causes this behavior to disappear.
    Each of the following methods has been tried. Each filters drop-down list data correctly and each causes apparently random extra column renders.
    1.     Cascading lists as per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/mills/cascading_lists.html
    2.     Drop-down list based on view object that takes parameters.
    3.     Set where clause for drop down list in a method on the app module.
    4.     Set where clause for drop-down list in a new selection listener method for the af:table.
    Question:
    Is there a solution available that will filter the drop-down lists correctly and prevent the extra columns from being rendered?
    Thank you for any help that you can provide,
    Joanne

  • Multiple filters in a drop-down list in SharePoint 2010 browser forms

    I am using Infopath forms based on SharePoint 2010 lists. I am trying to filter a drop-down control based on inputs in two previous controls such that it looks up information in a list and returns options where A = A and B = B. This filter works when using
    Preview in Infopath 2010, but does not work on the list itself on publishing; it only filters where A = A. The B = B filter is ignored.
    1) Is there a workaround I can use so that the browser form respects the filter in the same way the Infopath form does?
    or, if not:
    2) Is there a way to force SharePoint 2010 to open up "new item" or "edit item" in InfoPath instead of in a browser form?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help!
    1) That was my concern. When I googled around, it seemed like it wasn't possible to do filters at all in DLL in browser forms, yet I had one that was working. So I was curious why one worked but two didn't.
    2) When I try to publish an InfoPath form from Designer that's based on a SharePoint list, the only option it gives me is to publish to that list, not to a document library.
    2a) If I did figure out how to do it, would it still submit the information to the list? I don't want a form library scenario where each list item is its own form based on a single template, I want a list I can also manage with Access.

  • IPhone - iOS 8 - Multiple selection in optgroup drop down list

    Hi,
    I don't know if this issue has been reported, I am developing mobile website continuously, after updating to IOS 8.0.2. I have drop down list with optgroup, when I select an option it kept the last option selected( Two open is selected).
    Please see the attachments.
    Tested my website in IPad(IOS 8.0.2) works fine, It seems this only occurs in IPhone.

  • Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

    Hi!
    I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
    How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
    http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
    There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
    The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
    But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
    If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
    I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
    Any suggestions appreciated!

    Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
    I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
    Please let me know the steps I need to do.  I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you

  • Can't set InfoPath 2010 Drop Down List field with C#

    Hi Guys,
    Here I go again, last time it was a date field, this time it is a drop down list. The applications does this: When the user comes into the form, they have the option of creating a new form via a hyperlink button on the top of the page, this button creates
    a new IP Page of the same exact type of page that it is coming from. The issue I am having is that one of my fields called ddlStatus isn't coming up correctly in the copied form, not sure why? If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful. Here is a copy
    of my code:
    if (e.InputParameters !=
    null)
                                System.Text.
    StringBuilder status =
    new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    string ddlStatus =
    string.Empty;
    if (e.InputParameters.TryGetValue("ddlStatus",
    out ddlStatus))
                                    status.AppendLine(ddlStatus);
                                    nav.SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:ddlStatus", NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
    Best regards, Mike

    Well, ok, so I set my code as such:
       addStatus()                    
    if (e.InputParameters !=
    null)
                               System.Text.
    StringBuilder status =
    new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    string ddlStatus =
    string.Empty;
    if (e.InputParameters.TryGetValue("ddlStatus",
    out ddlStatus))
    XPathNavigator nav1 = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group",
    NamespaceManager);
                                    nav1.SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:DisplayName",
    NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
                                    nav1.SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:Value",
    this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
    and I also created a new method called addStatus() which looks like this:
    public
    void addStatus()
    try
    SPSite site =
    new
    SPSite(http://MyTestBox);
    SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
    SPList list = web.Lists["Status"];
    SPListItemCollection listitems = list.Items;
    XPathNavigator nav =
    this.CreateNavigator().
                        SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group",
    this.NamespaceManager);//
    Note: "/my:myFields/my:Countries" => Group Countries
    foreach (SPListItem
    li in listitems)
    XPathNavigator newNode =
    null;
                        newNode = nav.Clone();
                        newNode.SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:DisplayName",this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(li["Title"].ToString());
                        newNode.SelectSingleNode(
    "/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:Value",this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(li["Title"].ToString());
                        nav.InsertAfter(newNode);
                        newNode =

                    nav.DeleteSelf();
                    nav =

  • Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

    Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
    TextField1.rawValue
    After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
    DropDownList1.clearItems()
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
    And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
    DropDownList3.clearItems()
    DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
    DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
    Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

  • How can i redirect 5 choice options from a drop down list into 5 separate text fields?

    I have a number of drop down lists which push one of 5 choices to a text field on another page.
    I want to be able to push each choice from one drop down field to a separate field, so that it is not possible to duplicate the drop down choice.
    The resulting page is going to be locked.
    What script do I need to use to send each of the five choices specifically to five separate text fields?
    Thanks for the insight.

    Hi Paul,
    I've had a look at the sample script you posted. I'm not sure how to make it work with the form I'm creating. (I sent it to you earlier.) Would you mind setting one of the fields up on my form so that I can get an idea of how to then push the choices set up on the "visible on screen only" to the textfields which are locked on the visible page? Do i lock the fields in the same way?
    Will I need to create a new script for each of the arrays I'll be creating? for example, myScript1, myScript2, my Script3....
    Why do i need a reset button?

    Hi Rosalin,
    Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
    DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
    You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

    I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
    I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
    I can use to fill in parts the form.
    I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
    I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
    database.
    I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
    and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
    Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?

  • How to auto populate a field based on drop down list unless specific item is selected

    Hi all,
    Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area but I am new to Adobe LiveCycle, JavaScript and these forums.
    I am trying to build an Acrobat form using LiveCycle but am having trouble with the drop down lists.
    Inititaly I simply wanted to populate fields in one table based on the selection of a corresponding drop down list in another table.
    I used the following code and it worked fine:
    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
    var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
    var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
    for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
    The problem is that now I want the above code to work UNLESS one of the items in the dropdown list is specifically selected in which case I want the text box in the other table to display a message such as "Enter details in the field below".
    I have tried to create an If Else statement using the following code:
    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
    var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
    var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1"); 
    for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
         if (fFrom.item(i).rawvalue = "Option 3"){
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = "Enter details in the field below";
         else {
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
    The code now populates the field with "Enter the details in the field below" no matter what item I select from the dropdown list.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

    Follow Up:
    Ok so ive changed things up a bit and have had some more success.
    I have used a Switch statement in my For loop to perform different actions based on the item selected.
    The code looks like this:
    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
    var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*] .Row4.Cell1");
    var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[* ].Row4.Cell1");
    for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
         switch (fFrom.item(i).rawValue)
         case "Option 3":
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = "Enter the details in the field below";
         break;
         default:
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
         break;
    This code solves my problem but has thrown up a new issue:
    When i select Option 1 or 2 from the dropdown list  the change in the text field is instantaneous, however if I select Option 3 it wont appear in the text field until I either select Option 3 a second time or select another item. Its as if the text field is a selction behind what I have enterd in the dropdown list.
    Any thoughts?
