Hi All,
I have 2 tables that are not linked using key field. However there is a field in both tables with similar values, however i dont want to link the table.
My requirement is, whenever user click on table1.ID, I want the association values in table2.Location field shown in TEXT OBJECT.
I am thinking to achieve this using 'Field Event Trigger'. But not sure how to achieve this. I created a field event trigger but its not working. Please assist.
I don't understand what you are trying to do, but if you don't want QV's associative data model perhaps you should be doing this in Excel?
Hi Bharath,
if the fields are the same, you could use a trigger > select in field < - that is selected by default if you click on that use menu.
Alternatively, you could join just that one column from table_B into table_A.

find the attached app,
I don't see why you can't associate the fields by giving them the same name, but that's your problem. See attached qvw for setting up the field triggers.
Hi,
You can find a solution in the app.
Thanks for all the replies.
To the question why i am doing this, our application is already in production and we don't want to change the data model now, so just want to write a expression in UI as a temporary fix.
I have build an expression by modifying the set analysis given by ! !augustin
I think this resolves the issue.
I am stilll wondering why people gave me 'Field event Trigger' for my requirement(as i fixed the issue without it. Sorry, for the basic question, as I am not good in triggers and it confuses me all the time.
