Value of auto fill that can be changed

I'm pretty new to PDF forms and all things java and always have a hard time finding what I can and can't accomplish in these forms... so I thought I'd ask just the question this time...

I want to do is have a value entered in a field (FromDept) be automatically generated in another field (ToDept), but then, I'd still like the ToDept field to be changed if the user needs to change.

For this shape, these fields are very often the same, but sometimes they need not to be different - generally the user just pass this field if it does not evolve, but we would really rather the appearance of the complete form (although I don't want to force the completion of this field - so my question).

I thought it would be a sort of custom Validation script but have not found something that fits my needs in the forums after a lot of research.

Is this something that can be done with relative ease, or is it more complicated I need to get something that is just on a list "nice to have"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

The custom for FromDept field validation script might be as simple as:

getField("ToDept").value = event.value;

This will outline the value of the ToDept field every time that the value of FromDept changes.

You can also set it so that the value of ToDept gets set only if it is empty:

var f = getField ("ToDept");

If (! f.valueAsString) f.value = event.value;

In this way, an existing entry in ToDept will not be overwritten if the user comes back and changes the value of FromDept.

    Hello

    You get by using code. You can browse your composition.

    Code tested with edge 6.0.0

    SYM.$("p") ==> returns paragraphs. If a collection.

    SYM.$("p"). each () ==> browse each item.

    SYM.$("p"). each (function(index,item) {}

    Console.log (sym. $(item). ) CSS('font-family')) ==> returns the family of police for each item

    } )

    Therefore, you can create a conditional statement.

    SYM.$("p"). each (function(index,item) {}

    If (sym. $(item). ) CSS('font-family') == "sought fonts") {sym. $(item). } {CSS({... new font...})} ;

    } )

    Note: jQuery is not necessary.

  • Table with list of value to load on another value of the column that is never changed by the user

    Nice day!

    I work with JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.

    I have a Table of the ADF that has 4 lines.  Each row has a column with a unique value.  The plan should include a LOV column in the row show a different list of values based on a single column value.  I have install the list of values, use a display with a variable binding criterion.  When you create the data LOV source, I Specifies the name of a single column for the value of the bind variable.  However, it seems that the LOV changes none selecting different lines.

    Is there a good way to handle this?  I did LOVs of person in charge in the past, but this isn't quite the same as the user can view only the value that depends on the LOV on.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Hey, it's always a case of use of the dependent list of values. If the attribute that you bind the bind variable view criteria at part of the view object then the value LOV to be examined accordingly. I did a quick test case and I see my lists filtered by an attribute in line (I used the HR schema and posted employees as candidates managerId. The employee list is filtered so that it only shows the employees in the same Department that the employee I want to put a new managerId on) Frank

  • Creating multiple lines of text that can be changed in a single line

    I just changed an Illustrator file that a designer of course put in place and it has set up so that there are several lines in a column of text that are related to some how while the first line of text can be changed and the rest will change with him. How configure you it to do this?

    Actually, I need to know how to basically set a text box created, then copied it 10 times in a column, but the top text field can be edited. When the top is changed it automatically changes all other lines as well at the same time. Thank you for getting back to me well. I thought about it.

    Basically, what you have to do is create your initial text field. With the text box selected, you go to your panel of skins and click the effects at the bottom of the Panel and choose deformation & transform > transform. Then in the transformation dialog box you choose how the copied text boxes to move (left or right), and then how many copies you would and press copy. All you have to do is change the text box, and each of them will change at the same time.

    This is actually a pretty neat feature and will allow me to save a lot of time when setting up projects.

    Hello

    Welcome to VMare forums!

    Yes, you can do it.

    The trick is to use a window manager alternative such as icewm to which you connect and have a session that begins vmplayer or you.

    So instead of connecting to gnome or kde, you log in vmware player (which is the only application that you start at this session.

    Create a new user. Example: vmplayer

    Next, create a file in this /home/vmplayer/.xsession home directory

    nano /home/vmplayer/.xsession
    

    Add this information in the file.

        #!/usr/bin/env bash
        /usr/bin/icewm &
        sleep 3
        exec /usr/bin/vmplayer -X /home/vmplayer/VirtualMachine/vm.vmx
    

    Now make it executable

    chmod + x .xsession

    Make sure that it is owned by vmplayer

    chown vmplayer.vmplayer /home/vmplayer/.xsession

    This has been discussed in the Format of Linux magazine.

  • How can I change the folder under Folders options browse to open each folder in its own window?

    No matter how many times I select "Open each folder in the same window", the files still open in a separate window. So I then several windows open in order to view the other subfolders. Also when I select "File Types" tab and I see that the extension of the file types: (folder) and (folder), they both show (none), which I guess is OK.  So when I click on the "Advanced" tab area 'Actions' watch [find] and [open] with Open being the DEFAULT action. But for Edit or delete buttons are greyed out! So anything that can be changed is the default action is open or find it.

    I just want to be able to open and view the folders in the same window! Do you think I have to reinstall XP Home Edition, running around SP3?

  • How can I change the start menu to view all default programs?

    I'm trying to figure out how to get all default loading programs in the start menu (rather than recent programs showing, we disabled).  Y at - it a registry key that can be changed or created to do this?

    Hello

    There is no way to display the menu all programs when you click on the Start button. Start is similar to a toolbar. When you select it, it will show all the different components that you can access.

    You can stop the recent programs to display. Right-click the Start button and select Properties. In the privacy section, Remove the check mark from the option store and display recently opened programs in the start menu .

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I prevent the Thunderbird auto fill email addresses that I deleted?

    Thunderbird fun to auto fill email address that I deleted. How can I stop this?

    If they were not in one of these 2 books that Thunderbird could not provide them as a suggestion.
    Sometimes contacts added to a book without all the info and does not seem to appear. You can find them by starting an email and it was addressing the problem email address. Save the email in drafts.
    Now go to the drafts folder and select the message by clicking it once.
    Make sure that the message pane is enabled in the drafts folder. F8 activates / deactivates the message on and outside pane.
    In the message header at the top of the message pane the info From that will be you and the info that will be the address of problem will be displayed. To the right of the addresses is a star. If the star is filled with the color, the address is in one of your address books. Click on the star and open an edit dialog box. This box will tell you which book is the contact, but more importantly, is there a delete button when you remove it.

  • We can add a button to the BP to approve Budget so that it can read all the charges in question cost journal line and auto fill on the grid.

    Hi all

    We can add a button to the BP to approve Budget so that it can read all the charges in question cost journal line and auto fill on the grid.

    Let's say I have a cost with 5 code cost journal

    Code 1 price

    2 cost code

    Code 3 cost

    Code 4 cost

    Code 5 cost

    BP budget approval, after that I click on New, can I add a button to the tab the line items so that when I click on this button, it reads all codes of cost in the cost journal and auto fill on the grid?

    You can create a new 'model' BP for this purpose. Line item type. Then add a line manually with a cost on each code. Then you can use the copy in your BP BA record consolidate the function to copy the line items to the new folder of BP (including all cost codes) into your folder of BA. That is to set up a model record once with all cost codes and then copy consolidate billing it to all lines new record of BA. would this work?
