Keeping users selection

Posted on by cykosis3 10

I have a dropdownlist that is changed constantly for invoices(sales update). Is there an easy solution to keep what the user had selected?

    You need to develop a table where you store the last selection of each user. Then initialize the field from this table when the form is opened.

    Yeah, I know. I removed the code to read from it. They don't want it defaulting to that. They want it to hold their last selection.

    Hi Cykosis3,

    There is a parameter available which manages the default value. You can find it on the Accounts receivable parameters > Tab summary update. This will be a little helpful. If you need to save the last chosen option, then like Nikolaos mentioned, you need a customization.

    I would assume that you need to do developme to have such behavior on this specific field.

    Correct. Right now it just shows the Zero index which is none.

    So, whenever they open this form, this field shows the same value. But they would like it to remember their last choice. Is this correct?

    No problem, for example this is in the Accounts Receivable module  Accounts Recievable>Periodic>Sales Update> Invoice.  On the other tab they are constantly changing the Summary Update for, but would like it to be what they had from the previous selection. Which that could change on a hourly/daily basis.

    Could you explain a bit more? Where is this dropdown list? Can you share a screenshot and desribe the process that the user does, and how is this field used in the process?
