I am trying to make some changes in category filter to have only corresponding change types

If change type is standard ,the category filter should show only standard categories 

I have tried below ,

<PDM_MACRO name=dtlLookup hdr="Category" attr=category evt="onChange=\\\"change_category_func('chg',null,'chgcat')\\\"" extraURL="QBE.EQ.chgtype= $args.chgtype">

But it is working

-> when edit the change order If it has already change type (Showing categories for particular change types)

Not working

->At the time of change order creation ( Showing all categories)

->Onchange of change type ( Showing the categories of old change type before edit) 

I think its because am trying to get value before save

Is there any other  way to achieve this ?

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

Lakshmi

hi,

you can modify your search filter on the fly by simply adding this standard exit to your head -> script section of detail_chg.htmpl:

function modify_search_extra(factory, backfill_field, backfill_form, is_3_field_contact, backfill_attr) {
    if(factory == "chgcat" && backfill_field == "KEY.category" && backfill_form == "main_form") {
        return "QBE.EQ.chgtype=" + (document.getElementsByName("SET.chgtype")[0]).value;
   }
}

but you have to ommit the "QBE.EQ..." from PDM_MACRO.

Hi pacy99

Thanks for reply.

From where i should call this function ? and how to call because it has some arguments.

Thanks,

there is no need to call this explicity. the ootb search function will call it automatically if it is present
