Auto select the same value in another field

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:24:52 GMT

Hi,

I have 2 year fields named 'JAARINGANG' and 'year', i need two year fields ótherwise i can't do some calculations. A year from 'JAARINGANG' is linked to multiple years from the field 'year'. So for example if i select 2011 from JAARINGANG it matches 2011 and 2012 from 'year'. I want that when i select a year in 'JAARINGANG' it automaticly select the same year in the field 'year'

How can i set a triger that if i, for example, select 2011 in 'JAARINGANG' it automicly select 2011 in the field 'year'?

Yes, add an action to the OnSelect trigger on JAARINGANG. Choose as field year and as search string ='('&Concat(DISTINCT JAARINGANG,'|')&')'

Hi gwassenaar ,

I have one doubt in this. If i want to select 2 years means, wat ll i do to update this?

For example,

How can i set a triger that if i, for example, select 2011&2012 in 'JAARINGANG' it automicly select 2011&2012 in the field 'year'?

The concat function will make sure all the selected values are added to the search string. If you select 2011 in JAARINGANG then 2011 will be selected in year. If you select 2011 and 2012 then both these values will be selected in year too.
