Field automatically filled on form

Posted on by Community Member

I have one form that contains something with field SomethindId, there is a button New.. that opens another form and creates a new record in the Something form. When that new form opens the field SomethingId has to  be automatically filled, which means I have to override the init method() on the new form. How can I write that?

    You  can write the code in the table initValue() method.

    table.SomethingID = "default value";

    Do you want to generate automatically number seq for "somethingId" or want to populate with default value. Please explain with more details

    I have one table that shows for example dormitories, there I have menuItem button that creates new building and opens another form. So when I select the dormitory with Id 5 for example when I create new building in that dormitory, the field dormitoryId in the new form has to be automatically filled with 5.

    I have number seq. already, but that is not the question. Am I clearer now?

    try to get the record on new form like this:

     buffer = element.args().record() // declare your table as buffer on class declaration of form which contains your fieldId

     now populate on your new form field:

        yourtablename.fieldId = buffer.fieldId;
