Populate field based on other lookup field in form

Hello,
In a list item in Infopath, I have a field which looks up a location. You can select the location in a dropdown list.
I want to fill another field with the manager name of the selected location. That manager name is a field in the other form also. In a Sharepoint workflow you can do such a thing (look for a specific list item in another list, based on a selected field in
that list).
To summarize: if I fill the location field with info from another list, I want to automatically fill another field with the manager of that location - which is also in that other list.

Hi mRRRc1,
For achieving your demand , please take steps in the InfoPath as below:
Open the list which contains the look up field using InfoPath.
Create a Data Connections from SharePoint list: Click From SharePoint List control under tag DATA -> Input your site URL in the Data Connection Wizard page -> Select the original
list -> Select Location and Manager field -> Enter a name for this data connection(such as Test) -> Finish.
Create a Rule for Location look up field :
Condition: LocationLookUp is not blank
Rule type: Action
Run these actions: Add “Set a field’s value”

Auto population of data to fields based on other input field.

In overview screen, I have one input field "Business Partner" which contain search help. As soon as business partner selected from dropdown, the other input fields like Name, Address, City, state should automatically populated without hit of 'ENTER' key.
I verified with method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT, but it is triggering only by hitting ENTER key. Is there any event or method which will trigger after business partner selected from dropdown? or any other option to achieve to auto populate the fields.
Please find attached screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Narayana,
You can use the get p method for setting up the values without pressing the enter.
CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
      rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_picklist.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_server_event.
      rv_value = 'AI_SELECT'.( you can give here the event name)
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
Define event with the same name above( AI_SELECT),
You can set the value of fields based on the first field value within this event.
Thanks,
Dharmakasi.

XSLT List View Web part with Inline Editing changing value for one field changes the other lookup field

Hi
It's a bit of a weird one. In an XSLT List View web part when Inline editing is enabled if I change the date column, it changes the lookup field column as well. This behavior only occurs if the lookup list has more than 20 entries. Below 20 and we are
OK.
Let me explain by example:
MileStones List - Having more than 20 items
Tasks List - having a lookup to the Title field from MileStones list. Also having a due date field.
Simple web part page with one XSLT List View web part for Tasks having inline editing enabled.
When I edit the first record's due date and press enter (which saves the changes and moves onto next record) and change the due date on second record without even touching the MileStone field. Press enter to commit changes and you see the milestone changing
on first record!
The wierd thing is that if the MileStone list has less than 20 items all works as expected.
Any pointers will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
This is a known limitation when working with complex fields like Lookup field.
A workaround is that we can avoid using the inline edit feature when there are
complex fields in a list.
You can take a look at this KB from Microsoft Support to get more details:

Populating a reqd. selection field based on other selection field-Reports?

Hi,
I have a selection screen wherein there are several fields which are mandatory.Now it has fields like customer Number(KNA1-KUNNR) for which there is a standard help coming in and customer name(KNA1-NAME1).
My requirement is as soon as user selects a customer no along with customer no customer name field is also populated without performing any action on screen.Now if I write the code as:-
at selection-screen on p_name1.
select single name1 into p_name1
                              from kna1
                              where kunnr = p_kunnr.
There are few problems in this:-
1)It will be executed only when user presses enter or F8 but I dont want that...
2)Also if I perform any action on screen say pressed enter this code will be executed only when i have put in values in all the MANDATORY fields.So will have to put in a dummy value first since its a mandatory field and then this code will be executed which doesn't serve my purpose..
Please suggest a way out..Its really urgent..Have to make an object delivery
Thanks in advance,
Swati

Try this example, this will also automatically update the NAME1 field when user does F4 help on the customer number.

Update a text field based on a SelectOneChoice field

Hi,
I have a set of Create, Confirm and Thankyou screens. These screens are bound to a global view object. The create screen has a SelectOneChoice element which allows the user to pick an employee. When the selection is made, I need to display the employee's department in a read only text field below the dropdown. The Employees list(SelectOneChoice) is associated to the read only view object and this view object also has the employee's department information. Im dont know how to set the department name in the text field and refresh the screen. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

Frank, thanks for you time. Please see my answers below.
Hi,
can you help me creating a reproducable testcase
based on the HR schema where we have a Departments
and Employees tables. To understand your usecase I
have some questions:
Im not too familiar with HR Schema.
>
First of all however, what is a "global view object",
and is it safe to assume you are using ADF Business
Components?
Its the "Globals View Object" as described in the SRDemo for creating a new Service Request and yes I am using ADF Business Components.
>
Which version of Oracle JDeveloper do you use ?
10.1.3
>
The usecase I understand is that you have a
selectOneChoiceList that whenever you select a new
name should update a read-only text field with the
department name. Is this correct ? Or is there more
in it ?
Heres the complete description. There are 4 fields on the screen
1. Program Name (text input field, - required field)
2. Program Category (SelectOneChoice field - required field)
3. Employee Name (SelectOneChoice field - required field)
4. Employee Department (Text output field - based on 3 above)
What you have described above is working for me now, but everytime I select a value for 3, it does the required fields check and gives a message like "1 & 2 are required and a value must be entered", this validation should only occur when my continue button is clicked.
>
The department name should be displayed only (read
only), or is it also bound to what you call "global
view"?
Yes its read only but I need to bind to the Globals view as I need to display it in the confirmation screen.
>
Also, just to be sure, is the department name part of
the VO or is it the departmentId?
The screen is bound to the Globals View, the selectOneChoice values are displayed from another view(EmployeeList view) which has the department name.

Deriving 1 Value from 2 Fields Based on Values in Fields

I have a query that needs to return 1 of my values based on the values from 2 fields from 2 tables. However, the value should only be returned in 1 field and one of the fields should be evaluated first. If this first evaluated field has a certain value ('Y') then the other field is ignored.
To be more clear, per the normal query below, what I want is to somehow, if possible, combine the case t2.el_contr and case t1.contr_type statements so that one field, say: mbr_contr_type_desc returns a value.
So that if the value of t2.el_contr is 'Y' then 'SUB CHILD' is returned. It is important that this field should be evaluated first (If the value of it is 'Y' then the other field evaluation can be ignored). If this is not 'Y', then t1.contr_type should be evaluated and the values as listed below also returned to mbr_contr_type_desc.
I know the following isn't correct, but it might better illustrate what I'm trying to do (the normal query is below this)
case t2.el_contr
when 'Y' then 'SUB CHILD'
case t1.contr_type
when 'A' then '1 PARTY MALE SUB'
when 'B' then '1 PARTY FEMALE SUB'
when 'C' then '2 PARTY MALE SUB'
when 'D' then '2 PARTY FEMALE SUB'
when 'F' then 'FAMILY MALE SUB'
when 'G' then 'FAMILY FEMALE SUB'
end as mbr_contr_type_desc
In an Access query I would do the following in a column:
iif([el_contr]='Y',"SUB CHILD',SWITCH([contr_type]="A","1 PARTY MALE SUB",[contr_type]="B" etc.))
*NORMAL QUERY*
select t1.ssn
t1.type,
t1.grp_id,
t1.contr_type,
t2.el_contr,
case t2.el_contr
when 'Y' then 'SUB CHILD'
end as mbr_contr_type_desc_2,
case t1.contr_type
when 'A' then '1 PARTY MALE SUB'
when 'B' then '1 PARTY FEMALE SUB'
when 'C' then '2 PARTY MALE SUB'
when 'D' then '2 PARTY FEMALE SUB'
when 'F' then 'FAMILY MALE SUB'
when 'G' then 'FAMILY FEMALE SUB'
end as mbr_contr_type_desc_1
from member_elig t1
inner join grp_master t2 on
t1.grp_id = t2.grp_id

Perfect!
Thanks, didn't know that existed. Still learning my way around pl/sql..
One other (unrelated) question..when i hit the CTRL+LEFT ARROW* button in my SQL window, it will not tab back. This is really annoying! I have looked through PREFERENCES-EDITOR and can't seem to find any setting that will allow this. Do you know of any way to change this so I can tab backwards/fowards through code in the SQL window?
Thanks for any suggestions!
*Or CTRL+RIGHT ARROW for that matter..

Can you display info from 2 text fields in 1 other text field in a form?

Im trying to make a form where you enter an address. I want that info to display in another part of the same form as well. When I get to the City and State, I want those to be 2 separate fields where you enter that info. Down below, I would like those to display in the same field with a comma separating. I want to do this mostly because you never know what the length of the city name will be and dont wan the state to be so far away to the right of the city jsut to compensate from possible long city names.
I know how to make it display those field in other parts of the form normally, just not how to double them up. I figured if the form was named "text1, text2" or "text1+test2", that might work but it didnt

Im thinking thats how im going to have to do it, i just want it to show up more like
RICHMOND, VA
instead of
RICHMOND VA
because some cities are way long and im a little crammed for space

Table maintenance - auto-populate description field based on other field

Hello,
I have a custom table with 2 fields in it. Customer and Name. For customer field, I am using a standard customer search help. My requirement is when I search for a customer and select a customer, how can the name field be auto populated with customer name? I am looking for a best way to do this.
Thanks,
AV

hi adrian,
One method to achieve this functionality would be :
1. Find out the maintenance screen and function group of the table maintenance generator say 0001 and Z03_PRO_FN. ( u can find out by going into tables - > utilities -> tmg - to find Function group. for screen number- from TMG ->utilites->modifications->maintanence screen -> note the screen number).
2. Go to SE80 and open Z03_PRO_FN screen number 0001.
3. For field 1 - create a module in Process on Value Request Event in PAI of the maintenance screen ( Similar to any module pool program)
call the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST( In Process on Value request event of field 1 in PAI)
4. Use FM DYNP_VALUES_Update to read the value of field 1 on the screen ( Because this is before enter is pressed and field 1 on the module pool porogram would not be populated with value ) and update the field 2.

New Z-table to auto-populate description based on the key field entered

Hi Gurus,
I have to created a z-table, there are several fields however I am interested in only two
1) VSTEL and 2) PADEST for shipping point and the printer name. Also there are two other fields I have added to the table that are the descriptions for VSTEL and PADEST. Now the requirement is that when the user enteres a value in table maintenance ( sm30)
for say VSTEL, then its description should auto populate or propose the right values. Same should happen for the PADEST and its description field.
Thanks.

Goto the Table maintenance generator of the Table.
On this screen.
Environment -
> Modification -
> Events
Create New entry in the table with T = 05 and Z <any name>
Save it.
An editor button appears next to the from name.
Click on it and create an include.
Write your code in this include...
select vstel
       padest
       from table XXXX into table I_XXXX
       where vstel = (Z_VSTEL)User enterd VSTEL in module pool.
If sy-subrc = 0.
      loop at I_XX into wa_xxx.
          if wa_xxx-vstel = Z_vstel.
            z_padest(Desc field in Tab maint) = wa_XXX-PADEST.
          endif.
      endloop.
endif.
The same logic can be used to get the desc for VSTEL and PDEST.
You can change this in many ways based on performance.
The above code is just to give an idea...

That ZA02 (Qty) value has to go Quantity target field.

Changing value of one input field based on other.

Hello All,
I am having this interesting situation with changing a value of a INPUT form in jsp based on another INPUT.
Lets say my form has 3 INPUT variables.
1. YEAR (COMBOBOX) (using the SELECT OPTION)
2. MONTH (COMBOBOX)(using the SELECT OPTION)
3. TEXT
If the user sets the year to 2003, I want to show all 12 months. But if the user sets the year to 2004, I want to show only the month of Jan and then not allow the user to change the value.
I also need both these values to go as form input when the user hits submit.
After reading the JSP/Javascript issues other people are having with regard to accessing variables across these two(i.e jsp and javascript), it looks like ther is no easy way to achieve this using
"onChange=setValue()" on the YEAR field.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Chhaya

u can pass day month and year wiich will return false if wrong date was selected like leap year,selecting 31 feb etc.

In a document library, offering only certain options for fields based on others selected

Hi, I have a document library, and when someone uploads an item to that library, they are presented with a form to select properties. I have 4 properties I want them to select (really 6, but the first two are Name and Title). The issue is that these 4 properties
depend on each other in this way:
1st property: I use a lookup to offer 4 choices, "A" "B" "C" or "D" in a dropdown.
2nd property: I want to offer the user a choice of 4 items in a dropdown, based on what they chose for the 1st property. (if they chose "A", then offer "1" "2" "3" or "4", if they chose
"B" offer "5" "6" "7" or "8", etc.)
3rd property: same thing as above, but now based on what they chose for the 2nd property (if they chose "1", offer "a" "b" "c" or "d", if "5" offer "s" and "t")
4th property: again based on 3rd property.
How can I do this? can I write some sort of custom form that can do this?

What you're trying to do is commonly refererd to as 'Cascading Drop Downs'. These are a common lack in SharePoint.
There are lots of ways to do that, my favourite to use jQuery or Javascript:
