How do you add values to a lookup field to an Interaction Request Form? Can you do it from the "Form data initialization code" or does it need to be done within the script in the IRF? What data type is the lookup expecting to be fed?
Thanks as always,
Mike
Hi,
To assign a value on a lookup field you can use the form data initialization code
if you want to assign a value before a use make changes to the form.
here is an javascript example: Form.your_lookup_field = 'your test data';
where Form is your fomr name, your_lookup_field is the id of your lookup field and your test data is the value you want to assign to your look up field.
Thanks for responding. Maybe I'm not understanding what the Lookup Field does. I expected to bind a large list of options to it, similar to a drop down list, and then be able to search or "look up" a specific value to select from that large list of options. Am I understanding this field's functionality correctly? If so, how do I bind a list of options to it in order to do the lookup against that list?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
When you add the lookup field to the IRF, you will see properties on the right. One of those properties is "onLookup". This tells PAM what to do when the lookup button is selected. You will see an available list of functions here that can be used to pull multiple values in from various locations. For more information on these functions, you can search in the documentation. For example, the first available function is addValuesInSelectStore. Here is the documentation on that:
