Setting fields mandatory based on other fields

Hi,
In my adobe form there are 4 input fields(F1,F2,F3 and F4) and one field(F5) which is input optional. But if any field (F1, F2,F3 or F4) gets changed, the fifth field F5 has to be mandatory. I guess some java scrip is required but I dont have any idea on the same.
Please help.

we have a similar situation where a field must be filled in if a value is chosen in our dropdown box.
you can throw a popup message stating that the field must be filled...
JavaScript
xfa.host.messageBox("This is a message", 3, 1);
FormCalc
xfa.host.messageBox("This is a message", 3, 1)
A valid integer representing the value of the button pressed by the user:
u2022 1 (OK)
u2022 2 (Cancel)
u2022 3 (No)
u2022 4 (Yes)
Or what we did is just checked all the values after the SUBMIT and issued error messages in a message area letting the user know what they missed.

Making a DFF field mandatory based on another field

Hello All,
We have a requirement where in we need to make a DFF field mandatory based on another field.
example:
DFF has two fields :
Filed1 : values 'Email', 'Fax'
Filed2
If 'Email' is selected in 'Field1' then Field2 should become mandatory.
Any inputs on this will be really helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Satya.

hi kumar3a,
recently, i spent considerable amount of time wracking my brain on a similar problem. the nearest i came to a solution was when i used a forms personalisation. mind you, forms personalisation will not work directly on the DFF window, so it has to be approached in a roundabout sort of way.
i got this information from an Oracle Support personnel - MOS Note 1078348.1.
i would start with the flexfield segment as "not required", and then using Forms Personalization, i would make it "required". i would try to figure out how to establish a condition where the previous 'required' flexfield segment's value is checked to see if this 'not required' segment needs to be made 'required'. in theory, this should solve the issue. i gave up on it because the forms personalisation would need to cover WHEN-VALIDATE trigger event, and we had close to 100 validations going on through other preexisting forms personalisations, which rendered it near impossible to employ this method.
best regards.

Making fields required based on other field input

I am creating a form in adobe acrobat pro that employees need to fill in to show the clients they have worked for in a week. The form has 10 lines for them to fill in the date, client name, address etc for 10 clients. I want to make the client name and address fields required only if the date has been filled in in the first column. I can't make every row required fields as they may not have 10 clients that they have worked for. I have a send button set up so that all required fields are completed before the form can be sent. Can someone help me with the script I would need. I have worked out how to make the fields required if a check box is ticked but can't find any scripting for fields to be required if text has been entered in a specific field.

You can use the custom validation script of the date fields. Let's say you
want to make Name1 and Address1 required if Date1 is not empty.
Use this code to do it:
this.getField("Name1").required = event.value!="";
this.getField("Address1").required = event.value!="";

A: automatically populate fields in jsp documents based on other fields

here is what you need to do:
1. Change the definitions for your fields as following
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.inputValue}"
                        label="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.label}"
                        required="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.mandatory}"
                        columns="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.displayWidth}"
                        binding="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docId}"
                        id="docId" valueChangeListener="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docIdChange}"
autoSubmit="true">
            <af:validator binding="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.validator}"/>
            <f:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
                             pattern="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.format}"/>
          </af:inputText>
          <af:inputText value="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue}"
                        label="#{bindings.DocumentName.label}"
                        required="#{bindings.DocumentName.mandatory}"
                        columns="#{bindings.DocumentName.displayWidth}"
                        binding="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docName}"
                        id="docName"
partialTriggers="docId">
            <af:validator binding="#{bindings.DocumentName.validator}"/>
          </af:inputText>2. add the followig method to your backing bean:
public void docIdChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
    getDocName().setValue((String)getDocId().getValue() + "suffix");
}Run your form and enter the value into docId field, then press tab to go to the next field - docName will be populated

Making a field mandatory based on values in a drop down

Hi,
I am new to Javascripting on the Adobe Designer and we have a requirement to make a text field mandatory based on one of the values selected in a drop down list on the same form.
When I say mandatory I mean we need to prevent the form from being Saved if this text field is not filled - specifically when a value (say "Promotion") is selected on a drop down.
Please help me with the events under which the script needs to be placed and the scripting commands.
Thank you!

Marking Field Mandatory Based on a particular Product Selection

Hi All,
I have a different requirement, when I select a particular product names from the product picklist I have to make another field as mandatory. I dont have dynamic layouts to do this option.
Is there anyway where I can make a field as mandatory based on a value selection from another picklist field?
Thanks
Natraj

Hi, If the product ID = 1,2 or 3 and if the mandatory field is not filled set an internal field value to 1 using default field value and write a validation rule on that internal field forcing the user to fill in mandatory field. Extend the same using workflow using update field operation. Hope it helps

Infopackage Abap Routine (Selection based on other fields?)

Dear Friends,
I know that Abap routine is used in infopackage to select or restrict using complex data selection.
My requirement is to restrict Material no field based on 4 other fields. Is that possible?
Actual condition is to load Material no only if other 4 fields combination is new.
Pls help.
Guru

Hi,
Yes you can do this at infoPackage level using the ABAP routine.
First read the Active Table of the DSO into internal table and do a lookup for the required four fields combination.
If these four field are new allow the material number.
Refer the below link for more help.

Fill DDL based on other field values in offline interactive adobe form

Hi,
I have a requirement where in i need to fill the values for a dropdown list based on 3 other field values in offline adobe interactive forms which uses web service to interact with SAP.
Note: I read many blogs and posts in SDN , but couldn get much info ab the same, so posting a new thread.
Thank you.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
It is possible but a little bit tough and will make your form heavier.
The solution is advisable only when there is not very much data required for the drop down(May be not more than 500 values as it will create performance issue).
You can create a hidden table on the form contaning data for all the combinations. Depending on the selection of another 3 fields you can write the code to select only those values from this hidden table which are applicable to that selection. These values you can add to the drop down list removing the previous values.
Only you have to do is on calculate or vlaidate event of target DDL you have to write your code.
Pseudocode:
1. Clear your DDL using deleteItem() method.
2. Loop at your hidden table.
3. Inside the loop check for applicable entries depending on selection in other 3 fields.
4. Select the appropriate vlaues
5. Add using additem method().
Refer formCalc or JavaScript help for the appropriate code.
Hope this will be helpfull.

Vaibhav

How to make Multi Select Picklist Field Required Based on another field

Hi,
I want to make one filed which is Multi select Required(mandatory) based on certain value in another filed.
I tried putting IIf([<FieldNAme>]> 1000 AND [<FiledNAme1>] IS NULL,"Invalid",[<FieldNAme>]) in the Field validatation as but it is not working.
Please suggest any workaround available.
Warm Regards
Pramod
Edited by: user11361975 on Jun 3, 2011 5:03 AM

I guess FieldName1 is the multiselect picklist you are referring to?
Where did you get the ITAG from? I don't see any multiselect picklists available in Expression Builder. I doubt whether you can set validations on multi select picklists at all.
If anyone has achieved this please let me know as well.

Make a field mandatory based on a segment in distribution account

Hi there,
I have a requirement to make a flexfield segment mandatory to enter extra information when the user selects a particular account when entering the distribution lines of a Purchase Order. Only when segment 2 lies within a particular range of values, should this field become mandatory.
Has anyone done anything similar before? Please let me know how to get about it.
Thnx in advance :)
Ash.

Hi,
You can do this by creating Context Sensitive DFF.
While defining a Context in the DFF, put :<BLOCK_NAME>.<FIELD_NAME> in the Reference field.
FIELD_NAME should be the field, on the basis of which you want the DFF to be mandatory. Check "Synchronize with Reference Field" check boc in the DFF window.
The Contexts need to be defined exactly with the same name as the values, which might come in the refernce field.

the above D02_ZA tag sometimes comes more than one QD with different dates. Same dates has to go under one tag with respective quantities!! This is the situation, can any solve this please?
The target tag "ProductDemandInfluencingEventNotification" will generate based on number of promotions on particular date. Ex: if one vendor has 'n' number products promotions on 3 different dates, 3 "ProductDemandinfluenceevennotifications" has to generate, that three promotion dates and quantities has to respectively.
That ZA02 (Qty) value has to go Quantity target field.
