I have a custom form with an EDT linking it to item numbers. This form is used to create new items so let's say I created an item named AH2023-JAN-1 but then later I also want to create an item called AH2023-JAN. When I start typing in AH2023, it finds the AH2023-JAN-1, but I don't want the 1, so after I finish typing JAN and hit tab, the field autocompletes to AH2023-JAN-1. If I go back and delete the -1 and hit tab, it auto fills it again.....
I tried the command
element.delAutoCompleteString(this);
in the modified method of the control and the datasource field, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
I am having the same issue on the PO registration lines form on the serial numbers. if I need to put in a new serial of 12345678, but there is another serial of 12345678-K, it will always put the -K. pressing ESC, tab or Enter does not stop it.
Can the form be edited to stop auto complete on the field?
Yes, all browsers
Are you getting the auto fill in other browser ?
André,
I tried hitting tab, it autofills. I tried hitting escape first, then tab, it autofills. If I choose a new item that has many different options, like if there was AH2023-JAN and AH2023-FEB, I could type in AH2023 and hit tab, and then it would stay the same.
André,
I totally thought the same thing but when I press tab, if there is only one option, it chooses it. Tomorrow I will double check but I believe if there is more than one option (if AH2023-JAN-1 and AH2023-JAN-2 exist) and I tab after AH2023-JAN then it's fine. It's very strange.
Hi Andrew,
It looks like the lookup opened. If you start typing, the lookup opens and you use the TAB button, it should not take the selected value. Instead, if you hit the ENTER button, it will take the value. You can try press the ESC button first and then continue.
I have tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge on different computers, and checked the settings and always the same result of it autofilling.
Most probably it should be a browser setting, to verify this, try the same form in a different browser. And try the steps Anitha mentioned.
This might be the browser setting.
Can you try this?
Click on Settings in your browser (chrome /IE /edge)
At the bottom of the page, click 'Show advanced Settings'
In the Passwords and Forms section, uncheck 'Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click'
Hopefully this is sufficient?
