Adding a set of fields using a button

[Former Community Member]

Hi Paul,

I was looking to add an a group of items (few fields) dynamically by the end user upon clicking add and came accross one of your earlier posts that had exactly what I was looking for. Can you help me unserdstand how to do that? I am attaching your copy for reference of what I am asking for and a sample of mine (in mine, I want to add the whole set of information in insertion #1 and recusrsively add as many as needed by the user). Your help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

To be able add set of fields it is better to wrap it in subform as I did in attachment. Also your form has to be  dynamic and flowable.

Main script which adds is

subform.instanceManager.addInstance();

Modifyed form attached.

Hi Paul,

This works perfectly as I wanted to, but can you help me understand how you did that? All I could see is that you have added main.insertion.instanceManager.addInstance(); to the "Add button" I did the same to a different form but couldn't make the changes I needed. Can you please give me step by step instructions for the same or point me to where I can find that info? Sorry if I am being a novice and asking very basic questions.

Also, can you help me add a delete button to the added instances so the user can delete if they created one by mistake.

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi,

1) I made main subform flowed

2) Enabled repeat date fo each item for insertion subform

3) Form prewiev - interactive

  

4) And saved form as dynamic

To delete instance first you should define index of subform like - this.index.

Then main.isertion.removeInstance(this.index).

Play around it.
