Hello, hoping someone can help/give some ideas.
I have part of an adaptive form where a dropdown field selection needs to populate 3 other fields, 1 of these fields with multiple selections.
the usecase is:
- I have 3 lists - "Procedure", "Positives", Negatives"
- Make multiple selections from "Procedure"
- Each "Procedure" has multiple predetermined selections from the other lists "Positives" and "Negatives"
- Selected "Procedure(s)" to populate 2 fields "Positives" and "Negatives" with combined selections from respective lists (overlaps can occur, filter out duplicate selections) (so the data can be collected)
- Ability to remove selections from "Positives" and "Negatives" before form is submitted (does not modify existing list, just adhoc change)
- Display the selected "Procedure" with corresponding selections on a Document of Record
- Capture the data of selected "Procedure" with corresponding selections.
My current attempt is through script:
- I have 3 lists
- 'value commit' script - switch
- each case to 'push' items into 2 different arrays (positiveArray, negativeArray)
- a function with parameters (inputArray, inputPanel, inputField) to:
- Filter array for duplicates
- Clear panel instances
- Create new instances per number of items in array
- Populate each field of new instances with contents of the array
- The 'selections' / lists will be stored as JSON in an external db for easier maintenance
- Another idea was to load the selections from XML files
- I have also looked at the Coral UI - Multiple Selection with Preselected Items - I like how this looks, compact and easy to use - however don't know how to use with an adaptive form
Can anyone help with a solution? Should I be thinking about this a different way?
Many thanks!
