Required Fields based on field value

I am using Acrobat 9.1 Std. This is what I am trying to accomplish I have four text fields that I want to make required based on the selection of a radio button group.
I have two radio buttons on the form w/ the same name w/ the button value set to Yes for one and No for another. If the radio button w/ value Yes is selected I want to set the four text fields to required. If the radio button value is No the text fields should be optional.
Ive found similar postings for what I am trying to accomplish; however, I havent had any success in getting it to function correctly.

Some more information on what I have tried..For simplicity Im just trying to get one text field to work, then I can repeat the java code for the other text fields.
In acrobat Standard 9.1 I go to Forms Add or Edit Fields from there I select the radio button group (contains two radio buttons) on the left column and select properties. Then on the radio button properties dialog box I select the Actions tab. Set the Trigger for Mouse Up and the Action for Run a JavaScript . I click the Add button and enter the following into the JavaScript editor:
if (this.rawValue == "Yes") {
TextField1.validate.nullTest = "error";
xfa.layout.relayout();
else {
TextField1.validate.nullTest = "disabled";
xfa.layout.relayout();
I then close the JavaScript editor, save the form and re-open to test it. I select the radio button w/ value Yes and click the Submit button and the form goes on to submit. At this point I would expect it to error because I didnt fill in any value for TextField1.
I also tried altering the field tag with the below java:
if (this.rawValue == "Yes") {
TextField1.mandatory = "error";
xfa.layout.relayout();
else {
TextField1.mandatory = "disabled";
xfa.layout.relayout();
This also didnt work. Im not sure if I am using the correct tag or not or why I am unable to get the text field to become required for submission.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hot spot for field based on field value

Hi,
Im using ALV list to display report. And I have enable hot spot for that field based on field value. For example, If the field has value " 0 " then hotspot should be enabled for that field. If the field has value " 1 " then it should be displayed as normal field without hotspot.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,
Amal

Hi Amal
Do this
In your final internal table
add a table type
gi_cellstyles TYPE lvc_t_styl
Then (while populating output)
FORM prepare_edit_output.
* say your field is 'field'
DATA : lw_stylerow TYPE lvc_s_styl,
         li_styletab TYPE lvc_t_styl.
IF gw_output-field = '0'.
    CLEAR lw_stylerow.
    lw_stylerow-fieldname = 'FIELD'.
    lw_stylerow-style     = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_hotspot.
    APPEND lw_stylerow TO li_styletab.
ELSEIF gw_output-field = '1'.
    CLEAR lw_stylerow.
    lw_stylerow-fieldname = 'FIELD'.
    lw_stylerow-style     = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_hotspot_no.
    APPEND lw_stylerow TO li_styletab.
ENDIF.
INSERT LINES OF li_styletab INTO TABLE gw_output-gi_cellstyles.

Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
0-8: Non-Performer
9-16: Low Performer
17-24: Performer
25-32: High Performer
33-40: Exceptional Performer
DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
// Custom calculation script for text field
(function () {
    var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
    // Blank this field if input is blank
    if (!s) {
        event.value = "";
        return;
    // Convert string to number
    var v = +s;
    // Set this field's value based on the input
    if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
        event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
        event.value = "High Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
        event.value = "Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
        event.value = "Low Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
        event.value = "Non-Performer";
        return;
    // If none of the above fit, blank this field
    event.value = "";

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

Changing fields based on database values

Hi all,
I have one form and two drop -down fields. The fields are Call Type and Sub Call Type and are on the SAME form. I pull data from the Call Type from the database. When the user selects a particular Call Type, I need to go back to the database and pull in values associated with that particular Call Type.
This is the method, that I am using:-
1) I first populate the Call Type drop down field by using a Server Side Method to fill in values for the Call Type and calling the database.
2) I then call a method called as PopulateSubCallType by using the property On Change Invoke for the Call Type field.
In this method I again call the database and based on the Call Type selected by the user, I pull in the associated Sub Call Types and store them in an array.
3) I also call the same array to populate the Sub Call Types based on Call Types. But the drop down field for Sub Call Type is not auto-populated based on the values from the array. The array values although pulled up from the database are not shown on the form.
Can you tell me a way to auto-populate the Sub Call Type from the database based on the Call Type selected by the user but on the SAME form.
I AM NOT USING JSP's but ONLY ALBPM 6.0 PRESENTATIONS.

refreshValidValues("someAttribute") is a method that comes with BPM Object presentations.
This one line in this method will work because it causes the attribute (child in this case) to automatically invoke the method you created for retrieving the valid values of the children of the parent.
Your server side method that dynamically returns valid values of the children based on the parent selected should be looking something like this:
for each ...
select * from child
where parentOfChild = parentAttribute
In this example the name of your parent attribute is "parentAttribute" column in the child database table that contains the parent's id is "parentOfChild".
This causes the list of children to auto populate in the child combo dropdown automatically.
To summarize - at runtime here is what happens:
a) since the parent has a dynamic method that populates its valid values, as the presentation initializes the SQL for the valid values of the parent is run.
b) the parent's combo dropdown is populated with a list of valid values of the parent
c) the end user selects one of the parent's names from the combo dropdown
d) this causes the method to fire that has only one line. This one line has the text "refreshValidValues("nameOfTheChildAttributeGoesHere")
e) since the child has a dynamic method that populates its valid values, when the previous step caused this child attribute to refresh its valid values, the SQL in the method that dynamically retrieves the valid values of the child is run.
f) the end user clicks the combo dropdown on the child's attribute and sees that the child valid values (based on the parent that was just selected) now appear.

Rajeev,
Can you try printing the below value to check whether it's returning the expected value. let me know if its returning the screen value.
contextVal = selectedSiteUseDetailDFF1.getText(paramOAPageContext);
lobVal = selectedSiteUseDetailDFF2.getText(paramOAPageContext);
atmVal = selectedSiteUseDetailDFF3.getText(paramOAPageContext);

Populate one text field on a form based on the value in another

I am new to APEX and building my first application.
When a user enters a value in one field, I would like to run a SQL command and then display a value in another field based on the value in the first field. For instance, if a user enters a part number in one field, when they tab off of the field, I would like to display the name of the part in the part name field.
Thanks

Thanks. That put me on the right track. I used that link to find the link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11:2890374750690437 and then using the two was able to put together a solution.
I am down to one last issue. I am able to return the name back from the process and display it with an alert statement. Unfortunately, I am unable to display the value on the form.
I am doing the following.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_getCustomerName(id)
var v_id = id;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getCustomerName',$v('pFlowStepId'));
get.addParam('x01',$v('P2_CUSTOMER_ID'));
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
gReturn = (!gReturn)?'null':gReturn;
/* The below do not work
$s('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME',gReturn);
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = gReturn;
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = 'TEST';
alert(document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value );

APEX 4.1 show hide fields based on value of checkbox/radio

I am trying to successfully hide and show fields based on the value of a clicked checkbox. I am using a dynamic action, but it isn't working.
I followed the sample at Does Oracle Apex 4 enable the following AJAX features? (ie without the dev writing the Javascript) - Stack Overflow
I even tried a radio button, but it didn't work. I cannot uncheck the radio button. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi,
     create a dynamic action for page load to hide the item which you wanna hide
     now create another dynamic action
     event : Click
     Selection Type : Items
     Items : P1_Check_box(name of the check box item)
     condition : equal to
     value : return value of the check box item (if you click the check box and the return value is 1 then just add 1)
     in true actions
     Action : Show
    Selection Type : Items
     Items : P1_Text_field(name of the field)
     uncheck fire on page load
     create exact opposite false action, that's it.

Populate a field based on a drop down or multiple choice

Would it be possible to add a feature that allows users to populate a field based on the value of another field?
I'm trying to setup a form where a technician selects their name from a drop down list, and then have the form populate their e-mail address based on their name. I would prefer to avoid forcing them to type in their e-mail address every single time so that they can get a copy of their form responses when they submit a form.
Thanks!

Show/Hide JSF field based on SelectOnceChoice using Model Driven List

Hello All,
I have a use case where I want to show or hide fields based on values populated in SelectOneChoice. I have View master and View Lookup, master has a field named product which displayed selectiononechoice of product name built using lookup view as accessor. I am storing id of lookup type inside product column. Based on a product name say "abc" I want to hide subsequent fields. Can anyone please tell me how to implement this?
I am using ADF 11g version 11.1.2.
Thanks,

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to show/hide subsequent fields based on the value selected from a selectonechoice?
Did you try using partial triggers and EL for setting the rendered attribute on subsequent fields and setting autosubmit to true on selectonechoice?

Plot a chart dynamically based on the values selected

Hi All,
I have some requirement like this i want to plot a chart . The chart should change dynamically based on target_name and date. What type of UI should I use ? I tried using multiselect or shuttle for choosing the target_name and date picker tool for date once i choose all this the chart should appear. Can I have a custom button called submit so once all the values are entered it plots chart ? Please help me out with our ideas.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Using the dependent value sets you can govern the values which can be selected based on a specific value selected in a particular segment. Example if Country name is selected in segment 1 then specific states names as per the country selected can be displayed in segment 2.
As per the requirement described you want to enable different fields based on the value selected in segment1, currently there is no standard mechanism available to enable/disable fields based on a value and you will have to do an extension/customization to meet this requirement.
Thanks,

If the user clicks on row 1 (Create) then the link group name should be "CreateEmployees" to create new employees
If the user clicks on row 3 (Verify) then the link group name should be "MaintainEmployees" for verification and so on.
(This is role based and each role will have access to one or more of the rows in the tabler)
It basically mimics a work-flow type of scenario.
I tried to modify the template and looked at the line:
action="$JHS.facesConfigGenerator.addItemGroupLinkTaskFlowCall((${JHS.Current.item})}" but got stuck there.
Is there a way to change "JSH.current.item" in the template to read the group link name from another column say by using #if statements.
One way I also tried was to introduce a column for each action such as CreateAction, VerifyAction etc which kind of agrees with your suggestion but the drawback is the need to modify the table if another task is required.
Regards
