Apply Drop Down field selection to another field in document

Avatar

Level 2

I am attempting to populate a field on page 2 with the selection of a drop-down field on page 1 of the linked dynamic XML pdf (http://www.screencast.com/t/NTRiZmQxNTE).

In "Subform2, the drop-down field is named, "subformOptions". Clicking on this field and opening "Change*" will show the instruction on the bottom that I have entered:

FISupplierGroup.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;

I was hoping that this instruction would populate the results of the drop-down selection in the field named, "FISupplierGroup" that resides in "Subform9" on page 2.

My results were unsuccessful.

Can anyone help me with the solution.

Thanks,

Eric

make it as "Subform9.FISupplierGroup.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;" this will work.

Without Subform9 that field is not accessible from inside of another subform.

hmm, my url link failed.

Adobe appears to have removed the capability to post attachments.  If anyone can help, I can send my PDF directly to you.

Thanks,

"FISupplierGroup" alone on page1 may not be accessible. try with full path like page2.FISupplierGroup.. (if both are not on same page)

If possible u can send the pdf to raghu.nagireddy@gmail.com

Hi Raghu,

Adding subform9 to "FISupplierGroup.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;" corrected the issue.

Thank you for the quick solution!

Sincerely,

Eric
