Popup input controls on forms

Posted on by

The Lead form had a control Name for the field fullname that when clicked on opens a popup control to enter first name, middle name and last name (see screenshot below).

We would like to add a field to this popup (initials) or create our own popup, but we're unable to figure out how this is done.

The form XML does contain a hiddencontrol named fullname, but we see no link to first, middle and last name.

<hiddencontrols><data id="fullname" datafieldname="fullname" classid="{5546E6CD-394C-4bee-94A8-4425E17EF6C6}" /></hiddencontrols>

<control id="fullname" classid="{4273EDBD-AC1D-40d3-9FB2-095C621B552D}" datafieldname="fullname" disabled="false" uniqueid="{5b3a7ad6-5184-ed4e-603d-95aa96820bbc}" />

The description of the fullname field says it combines first, middle and last name, but again, we cannot figure out how this is done.

    Hi,

    This is Composite field behaviour, which is available only on Name and Address fields and we can not use this field for custom or any other fields. as Mahender Suggested, only way is custom HTML webreosurce.

    Hi,

    This is composite control which is not available current to create as custom, but you can try to replicate this type of behavior using html control it will require good development effort .
