Changing the caption of dropdown field

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to change the caption of some drop down field based on some condition. The following condition is written on some other dropdown feild:

if (this.rawValue == "Ad Hoc Payments")

{    

     xfa.resolveNode("form.PaymentDetails.ddlInvoiceFrequency.caption.#text").rawValue = "TEST CAPTION";

}

But, it seems to be not working.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Try with this:

delete the caption in the object field palette and type this in the change event:

if( xfa.event.newText == "Ad Hoc Payments") this.caption.value.text.value = "TEST CAPTION";

Or try this:

if (YourFieldName.rawValue == "Ad Hoc Payments")
{
    xfa.resolveNode("YourTargetFieldName.caption.value.#text").value = "Alternate Caption:";
}else
{
    xfa.resolveNode("YourTargetFieldName.caption.value.#text").value = "Caption:";
}

Helpful?
