How to link the variable defined in an inputbox with the field name in the script?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I want to create an inputbox where the user can enter the resource id. Rest of the tables or graphs should get updated when I enter the Resource id in the inputbox.

I have created an inputbox with a variable name vResourceId.In the Contraints section in Value section I have tried to link it to Resource Id field from the script but this doesn't seem to work when I enter the resource id number in the inputbox. Can anybody please assist as to what is gone amiss I dont think the variable is getting linked with the inputbox values that are being entered?

Hi,

Selection in field through input box.

Don't use an input box with a variable. Use either a listbox object for that field or use a Search object and add only the Resource Id field to it. If you use a variable you needlessly complicate things and need to use a variable trigger and assign a Select in Field action to the trigger.

hi

Document  above shows if a particular value is selected in list box then it appear in the inputbox.. but i need the user to type in values in the inputbox and the table needs to be updated based on the values updated in the inputbox.

Thanks Gysbert. This is a better option

I would support the other replies. You do not need a variable for this purpose. A list box is the correct way and the selection will then be standard QV functionality. If the user clicks the list box, they can start typing the value to locate the one they need, This is quicker and simpler than using a variable.
