How to delete an item from the addItem list after it is entered in a field

[Former Community Member]

I have a form which contains a list of names. My problem is, I would like the form to remove a name after it is entered so that on the next row that name does not appear. For example, I have on the preopen event:

Name.addItem("Andrew")

Name.addItem("Bernie")

Name.addItem("Chris")

Name.addItem("Doug")

and I select  'Bernie", I would like the next row to only have 3 names excluding the one I previously selected. And in the end, it should have no names if all four names have been selected, or should display a message.

Is it possible to do this in LC. either in javascript or Formcalc.

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is sample form for you. See the scripts in the docReady and in the exit events of the fields.

I have checked the above example and it works perfectly for static fields. My problem is that the form I am using using employs the addinstance script to add new rows. How do you script for the new rows to not include names that have already been selected.

In the example, I would like for new rows to exclude names that have previously been selected.

Thanks.
