Autopopulate data text field in another text field?

Hello

I have two areas of text field entered my livecycle form, and I want to ensure that if an employee put their name in a text field, the 2nd text field will be automatically filled itself with the same name.

I know how to do this in Acrobat (just copy/paste the text current field box, and make sure that it has the same name), but the method I use in Acrobat does not work in livecycle.

Any ideas?

Hi, the easiest way without scripting is to appoint the two fields with the same name, EG empName. Will LC designer inserts the instance numbers in the hierarchy, as empName [0] and empName [1]. Select one of the textfields and go to object > linking the palette and select global link. Everything that is typed into a field will automatically appear in the other, at the exit. Niall

  • question: format / 'language' of the current Date (in the date/time field), javascript only

    Hello

    I have 2 date fields in my form, which should display the date in a different format. (yyyy.mm.dd / dd-mm-yyyy)

    To get the current date I only use java script

    Formular1.p1.date_YYYYmmDD::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
    
         var date = new Date();
        this.rawValue  =  date.toLocaleDateString();
    
    

    My first problem is (red): I get the date in English, but I want it in another language. As it was defined in the form settings

    My second question is: How can I format a date/time-sized (not a text field) in javascript with a model specific to the init event?

    It seems that my code in the init event replaces the model of the DateTime field configuration

    Here is my form, if anyone wants to check it out:

    Hello

    I think that these two problems are the same, by setting a date/time field using the rawValue always format must be yyyy-mm-dd, if you use a different format, the value is just seen as text and poster without shaped.

    var date = new Date();

    this.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", date);

     

    You can also set the formattedValue if you have a date in the correct format.

    var date = new Date();

    var currentLocale = xfa.resolveNode("#localeSet.#locale").name;

    var dateFormat = "date("+currentLocale+"){DD MMM, YYYY}"

    this.formattedValue = util.printd(dateFormat, date, true)

    This code assumes that the view model is date {MMM DD, YYYY}

    The date format specification is in the XFA http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html specification

  • How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, one

    How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, request adobe livecycle to settle. Help, please.

    Best way to do is the following:

    -Open the PDF in Acrobat.

    -Go to tools - form - form more Options - export data.

    -Save form data in an XML file somewhere on your system.

    -Open the XML file in a plain text editor (I recommend Notepad ++).

    -Let's say you want to replace all the years in dates "2013" to '2014 '. Do a global search & replace '2013-' to '2014' - (I added the dashboard in order to ensure that only the date fields are changed).

    -Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).

    -Go back to the PDF file and now go to tools - forms - more form Options - import data.

    -Select the modified XML file and import it.

  • Day after posting today on the Date/time field

    I have a field on a form such as date. I try to validate the entry date, must in fact be a date AND equal or after today, otherwise stay on the ground until it is corrected.

    Use FormCalc for this, it is easier to do date arithmetic in this language. Follow these steps on the exit event of the field (i.e. the way the user has already chosen a date). There is a function called (Date2Num) which will be the date that went and convert the number of days since a specific time (called at the time). So you would have to number of todays het can get the number of the date, the user chose, and do a simple test to see if today's number is higher than the current one. Something like this:

    get the number for the selected date

    var selectedNum = Date2Num ($.rawValue "YYYY-MM-DD")

    the Date() function returns the number of days in the time to the current date (date system)

    If (selectedNum<= date())="">

    his previous... Inform the user

    xfa.host.messageBox ("Please enter a date later than today's date!")

    Place the cursor in the Date selection field

    xfa.host.setFocus ("DateTimeField1")

  • frustrating problem with a dat/time field

    I'm pretty new to this tool (LiveCycle) - once more to try to modify/create a pdf form on very simple writing

    I inserted 2 fields of date time. I have a correctly configured automatically insert the current time, when the form is opened so the user does not have to do... ;

    The following field must be a time field so that the user does not enter anyone.

    I have the date field load properly, but for the life of me cannot get the time to display at all.  I tried:

    1 Add a new date/time field

    2 duplicate one that works and just change the format of 'Time '.

    3 tried to remove them both and then create again.

    I discovered by removing both and starting, as I can get the date to appear in these two areas, but I can't do anything else to appear.  I can not get the time to appear in each area. !!

    Frustrated: Somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here...

    Because I don't see a place for me to download the form here, I posted on the following Web site

    I think you just download it and take a peek - if someone would be so kind - could explain things better to see for yourself.  It seems buggy to me, but I do not know!

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan has.

    See: http://provsnusa.com/test.html

    Hi Dan,.

    The time field was still date in script functions, although you use a time model (in the object > field > models).

    Just changed the script for:

    Current time in short-style date format.

    $ = num2time (Time (), TimeFmt (1))

    Here is the form: https://acrobat.com/#d=63FQyQ3bVTlj8ERIjvUGJw

  • Custom Custom Format AND Date text field label

    I have created a form where I wanted each form field to have a label so that the user knows what to connect, BUT when I arrived at this day it became clear that I can only do one or the other, enter a name or select a date format, because they are both under the same category selection and you can choose only one. I found a previous discussion and was able to use the following code to label all the text fields and he also mentioned that an additional coding would be required to customize the date:

    Custom format for text field script

    If (! event.value) {}

    Event.Value = "enter meeting requested Date."

    Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

    } else {}

    Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

    }

    Now my problem is that in order to label the tabled text, I had to do a custom format, so I am unable to choose a custom date format. Instead of getting the error message when the format is wrong there at - it a way to make sure that no mater what type of date is connected, it is automatically reformatted to (mmmm dd, yyyy)?

    I don't know am new to the form of coding features and indeed if there is another way to lock it I would appreciate the help.

    Yes, it is possible... Basically you would use something like this as the custom for the field validation script:

    Event.RC = true;

    If {(event.value)

    var d = util.scand ("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value);

    If (d == null) {}

    App.Alert ("Invalid value.");

    Event.RC = false;

    } else {}

    Event.Value = util.printd ("mmmm dd, yyyy", d);

    Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

    }

    } else {}

    Event.Value = "enter meeting requested Date."

    Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

    }

    I have not tested, but I think he should do the trick.

  • How can I make a box autopopulate a text field

    I have 2 text fields named MailingAddress and GarageAddress.

    I would like to have a check box next to my MailingAddress the field when checked would be autopopulate my GarageAddress with the value of MailingAddress.

    I scrounged around forums and cobbled this together (with my very limited knowledge of JavaScript)... but get a syntax error.  I'm sure it's something obvious... If you understand JavaScript!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    var aMailing = this.getField ("MailingAddress");
    var aGarage = this.getField ("GarageAddress");

    If (this.getField (event.target.name) .value is 'Yes')
    {
    copy the mailing address to the address of Garage;
    aMailing.value = aGarage.value;
    }
    aGarage.readonly = true; do GarageAddress readonly;
    }

    on the other

    {
    aGarage.readonly = false; clear readonly
    this.resetForm ([aGarage.name]) / / reset GarageAddress
    }

    You have syntax errors in your code. Also, it seems that the logic of your code is reversed. You copy the value of GarageAddress to MailingAddress, instead of what you have described. I suggest using this code (as the MouseUp event of the checkbox) instead:

    var aMailing = this.getField("MailingAddress");
    var aGarage = this.getField("GarageAddress");
    
    if (event.target.value == "Yes") {
        // copy Mailing address to Garage address;
        aGarage.value = aMailing.valueAsString;
        aGarage.readonly = true; // make GarageAddress readonly;
    } else {
        aGarage.readonly = false; // clear readonly
        this.resetForm([aGarage.name]) // reset GarageAddress
    }

  • Autopopulate a text field in a table in table

    I don't know if it's possible, but I'll tell you what I would do: -.

    I have a table which allows the user to add a name, they also have the ability to add additional names to the table. What I then do is auto fill out another table with these details.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    If you had textfield objects that were outside of a table, then you would have the same name for both objects and use global binding (see the object > range of binding).

    This actually gives you a two-way binding. All that a user types in a field, automatically appear in the other.

    However, this may not work with textfields in tables, or certainly not in dynamic tables where the user can add rows. This is because the value in an object in a single line will be repeated in all THE lines.

    So if you have a static table where the user can add rows, then you can set the lines and objects with different names. The associated static table would have the same naming structure. Then global link might work.

    If the table is dynamic, I have a script example here, where there is a loop on the event to exist that crosses the table and replicates the data in the related table. See here: http://assure.ly/eTOXaH.

    Hope that helps,

    Niall
