to keep selection while switching fields

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 15:33:04 GMT

Hi,

I've got a list-box which is based on the calculated field $(vMediaField).

vMediaField can be either 'RussianMedia' or 'English Media' depending in the variable 'vMediaField'.

It switches perfectly well. But there's a problem.

Supppose, that the field 'RussianMedia' has two values: 'ТВ', 'Радио', the field 'EnglishMedia' has corresponding values: 'TV', 'Radio'.

If a user selects 'TV' and then switches to 'vMediaField', then his choice is cleared. But I want a corresponding Russian title to be selected automatically. So if, 'TV' was selected, then the Russian equivalent 'ТВ' should be automatically selected.

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance,

Larisa

Hi,

Could you post a demo app?

You can try using OnSelect field event triggers with an Select - Select in field actions.

Hi,

I don't quite understand how it works.

What does variable 'vMediaField' influence?

Check if you have something like 'Clear All' or 'Clear field' tied up somewhere to vmediaField.

Normally it shouldnt clear the selection when you switch the variable unless theres something hidden behind it.

Check my posts on Buttons and renaming fields/Variables. Those may help you.

'Rename Field Values' and 'Select a Field Name from one list box to populate the field Values in another list box'

Its All about the BUTTONS.
