Setting default value of Tabular form item is not working

Hi,
I have a tabular form and in that I want to set the default value of the username to app_user. So in the default value of the item, I wrote v('app_user') and type Pl/SQL, but that does not seem to work. I tried the static application & page item with :app_user. That threw an error.
Also, I wanted to populate the date field in one column. Doesn't sysdate work?
Thanks,
Sun

Bob, I did read that. MY problem is that it is still not working. I am wondering if this is because the table is in execute query mode maybe? I am wondering if the default value needs to be added after the tabular data is populated through some other way? Maybe the default value would work only for static non database items?
ThanksYou're right, I just tested that using the default setup on the column in report attributes and it did not work.
I think you'll have to update the columns with the default value post query but I'm not sure exactly what you need to do.
I have a form that has a weight entry column. I tried changing the query to set the default value in the query
from..
Select Weight
From...
to
Select 999.99 Weight
From...That appeared to work, but the 999.99 value was not populated back to the Database since it wasn't entered through the form UI. APEX maintains the entered values internally so it can do its checksumm processing and update modified rows back to the DB. I'm thinking you could update what needs to be updated using Javascript in a Dynamic Action, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.
Excuse my incorrect assumption when first replying.

How to fetch the value of tabular form item in javascript

Hello all
I want to do some calculations on the value entered by the user in the textfield of a tabular form, how can I fetch the value of tabular form item in the javascript?
I am using normal tabular form, not using apex_item tabular form.
I can pass the current textfield value to the function using "this" as a parameter, but how can I fetch the value of other rows of that same column?
Thanks

Hi Alistair
jQuery is still not working, but I got it done through some other means, this is the code:
function total(pThis){
var l_Row = html_CascadeUpTill(pThis,'TR');
var l_Table = l_Row.parentNode;
var l_Row_next = l_Row;
var n_rows = l_Table.rows;
var lInputs;
var v1;
var sum = 0.0;
var temp;
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
//alert(n_rows.length);
while(j < (n_rows.length - 1))
temp = 0;
if(l_Row_next != null){
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
//alert(v1);
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
temp = 1;
if(temp == 0){
l_Row_next = l_Table.getElementsByTagName('TR')[1];
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
j= j+1;
$x('P78_TOTAL').value= parseFloat(sum);
I am calling this function onblur event of the textfield.
Still I am having one problem, I want to perform this calculation on load of the page also, how can I do that? because while calling onblur of the textfield I can pass that textfield to this function but on onLoad how I will pass the textfield to call this function so that I will be able to get the textfield value in the function?
there may be some rows already existing, so I want the total of the existing rows to be displayed in my P78_TOTAL textfield that is why I need to do this calculation on onLoad of the page.
Thanks

Using select list as default value in tabular form.

Hi,
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32. I have two questions that are related.
I have a Select item *'P1_SELECT'* and a tabular form My Items.
Question 1. The My Items tabular form col1 Attributes are set Display As Text Field, and the Tabular Form Attributes are set Default Type = item(application or page item name), Default = P1_SELECT. I have checked the session state value is set on P1_SELECT ie. Fred. What I need to know is, why, when adding a row to the tabular form My Items does col1 not display 'Fred' as the default value from the select item P1_SELECT? I can change col1 of the Tabular form to be Display as Text (save state) and this will work. However that leads me on to:
Question 2. After adding say 3 rows to the form, I then change the select P1_SELECT value to Bob and Bob is now set in session state on the P1_SELECT item, but when I again add row to the form the value Fred is still the value not Bob. It seems that the tabular form keeps the default value as Fred and not Bob. How can I get this to look or work like:
col1_
Fred
Fred
Fred
Bob
Your help is needed.
Thanks.

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
Do you submit the page or set the value after changing the selection? If not, the display value seems to be Bob but the working value is still Fred. That's what you are seeing right? In the "Settings" section, what do you have for "Page Action when Value Changed". I've been using "Redirect and Set Value" because I was staying on the same page after the selection.
Additional info which might be helpful (or NOT). ====================
NOTE: I am just a novice's novice with APEX and I had much agony with Select Lists. It was challenging to have the Select List value displayed because there seem to be so many different sources of the Select List value, namely:
1) the current value in the session state
2) the value you can specify in "Source value or expression" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
3) the value you can specify in the "Post Calculation Compution" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
4) the value you can specify in the "Default value" of the "Default" section of the Select List item
[Now, if I've misdescribed any of these, remember, this is from a novice's perspective.]
It's like putting a clock (back) together. Get any of the pieces wrong and it will probably not work right.
I had an addiitonal challenge in that I wanted the same Select List displayed on multiple pages and for the currently selected value (from the former page) to already be set on the new page when it was displayed. What fun!
To see what I did here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43250:101 login Dever/Ima9Dever
Remember, I'm doing many things you will likely not need to do. I iniitalized the Select List for the first time it displayed. I copied the Select List value from old page to new page by storing it in an application item F217_SYS_NIC_NM.
Best wishes,
HowardHi Howard,
You don't have submit the page for just setting one item's session state. you can use a Dynamic Action OR use Page Items to Submit property if available (this is available in various places such as sql region,chart region etc)
In context to this question you don't have to do any of those..just see my example above
Thanks

A default value in tabular form

Hi all,
I have a simple tabular form, and i'd like that if a certain field doesn't contain any value to fill it with a default value.
I tried to do it via default value attribute, but i'd like it to take place in a certain record in the table and not in all the records (which i can identify by a key, e.g. id)
how would you do it????
Liron

Hello Liron,
>> when i submit the page, it doesn't take the default value (which indeed appear on screen) but null
Well, if this default value is the only “change” in this row, it will not be updated into the table, because the tabular form mechanism is not detecting any changes in this row – remember, as far as the tabular form goes, this is the original value of the cell.
However, it seems like you want this default value to be saved, regardless of other possible activities of the tabular form. In this case, you should run the update prior to rendering the tabular form. You can use a before header PL/SQL block to do that. Using the EMP example, you can use a similar code in your pl/sql block:
update emp
set comm = 10
where comm is null and deptno=20This pl/sql block will run prior to your tabular form query, and all the updates will be reflected in the rendered result. Now you can continue to work with the tabular form to enter the rest of the changes you need (including deleting the new default values).
Don’t forget to change the tabular form query back to its original form. If you are using this technique, you don’t need the CASE statement.

Arie.

Setting Default values in portal form

I have a portal Master/Detail Form. I want to set some of the detail block columns value to the value of a field in the master block.
In the formattng option of the detail column, I tried setting default value to:
p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'MASTER_BLOCK', p_attribute_name=>'A_CLASS_CD');
and default value type to: function (I also tried expression). It compiles, but gives me an error when I ry running form. How can you set the default value (from the value of a differnt field)?

HI,
You can set the default value to value of a different field. The only way is to use javascript like onFocus.
Thanks,

How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

Hi expert,
I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
Many Thanks,

Hi
You have mentioned 2 things.
1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
HR Report Category
2. I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))

How to set Default Value in People Group KFF

Hi
We are storing some information in People Group KFF which depends on Employee Category so if employee category is Permanent Headcount then the value in People group KFF will be different and if it is Temporary then the value will be different.
Now we want to default the People Group KFF value automatically based on Employee Category for a New Hire employee. And also we should be able to change the People Group KFF value for some new hire as there are few exceptions.
I tried WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE and tried to set the value through INITIAL_VALUE but it is not working.
Kindly please advise if you have idea on how to implement this requirement.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Gaurav,
If I understood correctly, Your requirement is to update People Group segments based on employee category.
Basically you need to update people group values based on employee category before insert into assignment table.
You can acheive this using Dynamic Trigger on Assignment Table.
you need to change the new.people_group_id along with other segment values in this trigger logic.

Setting default value to columns on tabular form is not working.

Hi,
I created a tabular form and i want to set some default values to columns based on the values in page items.
so i set the page item to column value in tabular form attributes by selecting the Default type as PLSQL Expression & Function DEFAULT value &P24_ISSUE_ID. it worked fine but
in the similar way i tried for the another column by selecting the default type as pl/sql expression & function and default value &P24_CASE_NAME.
but it throwing an error for this like failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "C254DB": invalid identifier
i don't understand where i gone wrong even i checked for the data types of the columns, everything is fine.
so please help me out of this problem.

*&P24_ISSUE_ID.* is not a "PL/SQL Expression or Function".
but it throwing an error for this like failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "C254DB": invalid identifierWhat you are doing results in the APEX engine substituting the P24_CASE_NAME value "C254DB" into the default value and then trying to evaluate this string as a piece of PL/SQL. Outside of a block in which it is defined as a variable, constant or function "C254DB" is not a valid PL/SQL expression.

MASTER DETAIL - SET DEFAULT VALUES FOR ITEMS

I have a master detail page where on the master I do things like updating the entered_by and entered_date fields
by applying functions to set the item level details and the setting them to read only.
On the detail portion of the page I'd like to do the same but I don't see the details items on the page - only the master items.
The details portion is for comments so I'd like to have the commenter_name and commenter_date set to defined values
when I hit the add row button on the details portion.
Where are the detail items?
I'm using APEX 3.2
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
When you use master detail form, APEX generate 'Detail portion' as report. So if you edit the page, you may not see actual items for 'detail portion'.
If you want to set any default values or want to format these items, you may need to do as follows
1> Edit 'report' of 'detail portion'
2> Click on report attributes
3> Click on column, you want to set default values
4> Now here, Under 'Tabular Form Element' section you can do this by setting proper values to 'default type' and 'default' fields.
Hope it helps
Cheers

Setting default value for form field assoc with a table column

On a "Create Record" situation I was trying to set the default values of some form fields using a page level "Process". These form fields have Source Type = Database Column. It wasn't working, I could only set non-db assoc form field values no matter when the "Process" was set to exec. From some other posts it seems that this is by design, ie. not being able to programatically set the initial values of form fields that are sourced to db columns. I was hoping to have just one "Process" that would exec to set these initial values in one place rather than scattered about for each field that needed a default value. These particular default values come from ref tables and may be different for each user.
So, it looks like I have to use a "Default Value" plsql chunk for each field on the form itself or else set their value on the calling form's Redirect in the "Set these Items" area.
Is this correct?

You could define a database function which accepts the name of the item and the user ID of the user running the application. Based on the item name and the user ID have the function return the appropriate initial value. Invoke this function in a "Default Value" PL/SQL block.
Does that help in centralizing your initial values? You could have one function per page or one function per application. I would do one function per application.

SDK: set default value to "managed by inventory" option when item creation.

Currently, my customer wants to set default value (as true) to "managed by inventory" option under inventory tab when item creation.
My question.
1. how to detect item master form in add/find.
2. how to set option default to be true.
Regards,
Kenneth Tse

Hi Kenneth
Okay, you need to do the following.
1) You need to see when the item menu opens and what mode it is in and then do the event. So in itemevent uou'll have code similar to
If (FormType = "AddMov" And pval.FormMode="Your Mode") then
***your code
end if
You can also just see the form and chesh the caption of the button.
2) to do the second part,
        Dim oitem As SAPbobsCOM.Items
        oitem = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems)
        If oitem.GetByKey("Item Code") Then
            oitem.GLMethod = SAPbobsCOM.BoGLMethods.glm_WH
        End If
Hope this helps

Set Default Value of Multi-select list item

I have a multi-select list item I want to default the value of to '%' (which is really '%null%') and have it selected. I tried setting default value of item, but it doesn't take '%null%'. I also tried a computation with a static of
:P507_ITEM := '%null%'; How do you get the default value set and selected?

Hi
Shijesh is right, you need to change your null return value and use that return value as your default. Try and use something of the same datatype as your real return values if you plan to use '%' to display all as it will make your queries simpler. eg.
Company A returns 1
Company B return 2
% returns 0
Then your query would be...
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE company_id = DECODE(:P_COMPANY,1,1,2,2,0,company_id)
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
