Email from subform

[carterve]

I don't know if what I would like to do is possible but I thougth that I would give this a try.  I have a form where it has a subform, on this subform there is a field that allows the users to select an email address to send the form to.  This pattern can continue until the issue is closed, at which time I would like to have the ability to email all of the email addresses that had previously occupied the email field.  Is this possible and if so please explain how I could accomplish this feat?  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think you could get this to work, but it will need some scripting.

I would have a hidden textfield that when the email button is clicked, it would add the email address string to the textfield's .rawValue. Including a ';'.

When the issue is closed, ticking a checkbox would hide the normal email button and show the 'final email' button. This would be scripted to send an email to the hidden textfield's .rawValue.

How does that sound?

I understand the logic, but how i go about adding the email address string to the .rawValue of the text box?  do you know of an example that i could see, i just don't know how to do that part of it, i can handle the movements.

Hi,

Here is an example: https://acrobat.com/#d=XGio37Qy-giZ*Qs*QRl5nw

However in the send email button, I do not have the regular expression working. It is meant to prevent an email address from being added to the list if it already exists.

else if (vEmailList.search(/emailAddress.rawValue/) == -1)

This is only passing for the string "emailAddress.rawValue", rather than using the .rawValue of the emailAddress field.

Maybe someone could have a look at the RegExp.

Good luck,

Niall

Is it possible to mimic the functionality of the additional field like you used in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2446981#2446981 ?  I've tried several attempts to get it worked out but to no avail.  Any suggestions that you that you might be able to provide would be great.

I'll have a look tomorrow.

I think I was able to solve the mystery.  Here is what I did, if I'm off base let me know.

Here is an updated with the email functionality built in:

The check to se that a duplicate email address is not already in the distribution list is still not working.
