Retain field order on form when adding/deleting columns

If I move my html around to change the layout of the fields on an AddForm.aspx and then I start adding and deleting columns, the ordering of the ff## changes and I can have problems.
Its fine if I've only added new columns...what I've done is create an AddForm1.aspx to get the fresh ff##'s at the end of the list. I copy them over to my AddForm.aspx
If I add and delete columns, then I can have problems.
The ff## may be renumbered when making an AddForm1.aspx and copying the new fields might create an error because of dupe ff##'s.
If I use AddForm1.aspx, I lose my layout of the fields on my form AddForm.aspx.
I have been successful finding the ordering of the columns on AddForm1 and renumbering on AddForm.
But this is pain and error-prone.
What do people do to get around this dilema?
thx
Rich

Hi,
By default, we can change the order at the Lists content type settings page.
I suggest you provide more information about your requirement(screenshot) to make others easier to find a solution for you.

On Condition Tab-
Trigger Event : when-new-item-instance
Trigger Object:- (The field on which the cursor is appearing now when you open the form ) for eg : If I am working on a vendor Master form in that case it would be -VNDR.VENDOR_NAME_MIR.

whatever context you want to do it respoansibility level or user level.
On the Actions Tab

How to add get the field name for a newly added site column.

I have the following:-
Enterprise wiki site collection inside SharePoint server 2013.
I added a new site column of type managed metadata.
I opened the enterprisewiki.aspx page layout using the SP designer, to add the newly added site column to it.
But I have noted that to add any site column I need to know the field name , for example the default wiki category column is referenced inside the page layout as follow:-
<Taxonomy:TaxonomyFieldControl FieldName="Wiki_x0020_Page_x0020_Categories" EmptyValueDescriptionForTargetTemplate="<%$Resources:cms,enterwiki_nocategories_assigned%>" DisableInputFieldLabel="true" runat="server"/>
<b>
So my question is how I can know the field name for my newly added site column?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards

Hi,
The “FieldName” should be the internal name of the column, you will find it at the address bar at the “Site Columns”->”Edit Column” page:

Dynamically adding fields to the form when button pressed

Hi all,
In my application, there is a form from which I need to be able to insert data into 7 to 8 tables...
Creating a view and inserting data into 5 table sis fine but there are 2 table whose structure is as follows.
server_app_rel : server_id, app_id
server_jack_rel : server_id, jack_id
Here each server can have any number of applications and any number of jacks...
I am not able to create a view ( to create a form on this view).. since the number of appllication and jack columns are not fixed. The user should be able to associate all the applications and jacks to the server in the same form...How can I insert multiple rows into tables from a single form when I dont know how many application and jacks(app/jack columns) the user will associate to the server..
Also, How can we add fields dynamically to the form?
Our requirement is by default we have to show only one application field and one jack field in the form..And when the user clicks on 'Add more Jacks' or 'Add more Apps' button, respective fields should appear on the form to add data..( this is like 'Add column' button when we create table)..
Can someone please give me inputs on how to proceed..Am stuck with this from 2 days..It would be really very helpful if someone can give me atleast the links where i can find this info..
Thanks,

Retain custom order in albums when exporting to different iPhoto library?

Hi all.
To ease resource consumption, I'm placing many of my 20,000 iPhoto9 items into a new iPhoto9 library.
I have many albums with pictures in custom order.
Any recommendations on how to retain that order when copying the photos/ albums to the new library?
If I copy the files to wherever, quit iPhoto and reopen in the new library for import, they files are imported to the new iPhoto library in whatever order they are listed in the finder, which is not the custom order I created in the album in the original album.
Don't want to waste all the time I spent putting them in certain order.
Many thanks!

You can edit posts for up to 15 minutes after posting.
You're not actually moving albums from one Library to another. Your exporting groups of photos to the FInder. Then import them to iPhoto. There's no connection between the two libraries.
The problem with this wirkflow is that you lose more than your custom sort. At the very lest you lose the ability to revert to original for edited photos, and the non-destructive editing feature. Depending on how you're exporting you may also be losing a lot of metadata.
You could try use iPhoto Library Manager which will move albums from one Library to another directly, with all the versions and metadata intact. I'm not sure that it will preserve a custom sort, but you could drop the makers a line and enquire from them.
Other alternatives:
Duplicate your existing library, and then remove the pics you don't want from the new version.
Finally, you're using less than 10% of iPhoto's capacity and a 20k library is quite small these days. What is the problem you're trying to solve?
Regards
TD
If you want to keep using your custom workflow, create a sequential title for the pics in the Albums, export using the File -> Export command, choosing to use the Title as filename. Then import to the new Library and sort on Title.

Change the value of a field in a form when the form is displayed

Hello
I have a report which has a link to a form for updating the records. I have used a link to the form from report which displays the the record to be updated i.e it gets default values from the report. I need to change one of these values at the time of displaying the form. The set_value in the 'before displaying the page' section doesn't change the vaue displayed in the form. I tried in other 'Advanced pl/sql' sections provided but didn't succeed.
Thank you
Jayasree

hi,
let's call the new value u want to set "NewValue"
insert this code in the before displayin' the page
htp.p('<script language="Javascript1.1">
function defaultValue(fieldname)
var thefield;
for( var v=0; v < document.forms[0].elements.length; v++)
// get the right field
if (document.forms[0].elements[v].name.indexOf(fieldname) >= 0 )
thefield = document.forms[0].elements[v];
thefield.value='''||NewValue||''';
break;
</script>');
in the after displaying the page section call the function above with the appropriate field:
htp.p('<script language=javascript1.1>
defaultValue(''Field_Name'');
</script>');
where Field_name is the name of the field u want to change the value!

Auto-adjust references when adding rows/columns

If I recall correctly, it was the behavior of Appleworks that if you added, say, column B, making the old column B into column C, all references to B throughout were automatically changed to C. This does not happen in Numbers. Is there any way to make this the default behavior or a different command to add rows/columns that causes references to automatically be adjusted accordingly?

OK, this is going to make me sound really stupid, but I actually was so confused and tired that I meant the exact opposite of what I said. I was making a ledger-type spreadsheet keeping a running balance, and I wanted cells in the balance column to continue referring to the cell directly above them rather than to one absolute cell that used to be directly above them. That's how it works in Appleworks. I think.

Fields recorded at formscentral does not match the field order in form

Is it possible to change this? I know I can re-order them from within formscentral but is it possible to adjust form to send them in the right order in the first place?
Thanks,

Tab order not working when adding rows through Javascript

I am having trouble with my tab order in LiveCycle Designer 8. When I "add instance" for a row from a button, my tab ordering skips the new row. How can I get the new rows to fall line up correctly in the tab order?
Here is my Javascript code:
"click" - Table.Product1.Product12.Product13.instanceManager.addInstance(1);

do you have the tab order set as automatic or custom?

Strange behaviour when adding/deleting files

The following phenomen is interesting:
I have a logo's folder which may contain gif images. I want to add an image dynamically on my JSP whenever an image is available in this folder using the following code:
public boolean checkLogo() {
PublicObject pubObj;
boolean logoFound = false;
try {
for (int i = 0; i < logoFolder.getItemCount(); i++) {
pubObj = logoFolder.getItems(i);
if (pubObj.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(".gif")) {
logoFound = true;
logoFilename = pubObj.getAnyFolderPath();
} catch (IfsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return logoFound;
public String getLogoFilename() {
return logoFilename;
The first method looks if a file with extension .gif exists, and stores the filename in a variable. The second method returns this filename.
I use this in my JSP as follows (using the currcust bean):
<HTML>
<% if (currcust.checkLogo()) {
%> <IMG SRC="<%= currcust.getLogoFilename() %>">
<% }
%>
</HTML>
Now when I copy-paste a gif-file in the logo's directory via file explorer, I see nothing on my webpage. Only when I press F5 (refresh) in MS File Explorer, the file becomes visible on my web page. The same effect with the delete. Pressing the keys DEL-ENTER removes the file in MS File Explorer, but the logo remains on the web page. After pressing F5 in File Explorer the logo is 'really gone'.
Seems like a commit is missing after add/deleting files via File Explorer, where F5 does the commit indeed...

Insert and Delete operations performed by the SMB protocol server should be reflected immediately in the Oracle iFS repository. However, there may be a lag period (no more than a minute) before a new file's content will be stored.
To decrease the lag time, you can disable OPLOCKS in the SMB properties definition file. However, you should take into account the performance costs in doing so.

OBIEE 10g Getting wrong results when adding calculated columns to a report

Hi,
I'm experiencing a possible misbehaviour with OBIEE 10g (10.1.3.4.1).
I have a simple report with a table. Columns are simply selected from dimensions and facts. In this case the generated query is:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T30604.TOTAL_TIME) as c1,
sum(T30604.MATERIALS_QTT_COST) as c2,

Results of this report / query are wrong: it seems as if some rows "disappear".
If I delete the filter in SAWITH1 query above ( D1.c13 = 1 ) results are correct.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? The strange thing is that I have a number of similar reports (on other subject areas) and everyting is working fine.
Please also note that I don't want to add this kind of calculated items in the RPD (they can be simple calculations that are made on-the-fly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and regards,
Cristina

I have the same issue, everything OBIEE server generate query using ROW_NUMBER() over () function, it will hardcode Dx.cx = 1, this will cause issue if you have rows of the same distinct value, thus causing missing rows and the final results will be wrong.
I have open a SR with Oracle Support since March 2011, but till today, they have not resolve the issue yet.
Hope they solve the issue soon.

Drag&Relate with error 'no matching records found' when adding UDF columns

in SBO 2007A I added a large amount of UDF fields to marketing documents title section. Then I tried Drag&Relate, as result i got only the error 'no matching record found ....'.
I removed some of the UDF Fields and Drag&Relate works correct. It seems to be a length problem of the table row. But I have no information about such a restriction and the error message dont say anything about length problem.
Does anybody know about this behavior and the maximum length of table rows, or is there any other solution to fix this problem?

Hello,
there are approximatly 170 fields and most of them are alphanumeric (internaly nvarchar(max)) - when i remove 2 fields it works.
Best regards
Klaus

Hi,
I am trying to add a new field to an existing bespoke report query. When I click on ok, I get the following error
message: "ORA-00904: <field name> : invalid identifier ==> <field_name>
Any ideas what is causing this problem? Version of the report builder is : 6.0.8 and is connected to a 10.2 db.
Any help appreciated.
Many Thanks,

What is the field name ? Maybe a reserved word ? Change to "my_new_variable" to check...

Adding delete column inside inline dialog

Hi Expert,
Can i call the the following button to delete the row in side inline dialog? If i call it this will kill the inline dialog and also the record vanishes unless refresh it. Any idea?
<af:column id="test" >
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Delete.execute}" text="X" disabled="#{!bindings.Delete.enabled}" id="cb6"/>
</af:column>
- t

Which jdev version?
With inline dialog you mean a popup i guess?
If yes you can disable the 'AutoCancel' behavior. go to the popup properties, select 'Other' and disable the 'AutoCancel' property. Now you are responsible to close/hide the popup yourself.
I don't get the second part of your question as a delete operation is intended to remove the row.
