How to insert and delete fragments by clicking a button and how to script it?

[Former Community Member]

I have a  question on livecycle. I am collecting the inventor information as a bunch of text fields, each asking for a certain details. Please see below

Now I have grouped them all in to one fragment called inventordetails and saved as .xdp file, so I could reuse this entire block. I want to add a button underneath this block, “ADD MORE INVENTORS” and when clicked this will insert another block and so forth and so on. However I was not sure as to how to insert and delete a fragment. Do  you think you can help with this? I appreciate any help in this regard.

When you reference your fragment in the mail form it will be placed in a subform container. It is that subform container that is referenced by the instance Manager to be able to add/delete subforms from it. The button woudl go on th email form and woudl reference the subform containing the fragment (like any other add/delete of a subform). Remember that the fragment gets resolved before render so from the form's perspective it is all one continuous XDP file.

Hope that helps

Thank you. But I am not sure I understand it very well. I am not very familiar with

this software. I want to know how to script those buttons to add and delete the fragments. Could you please

help me with this?

Thanks

I woudl need to see the form and the fragment .....can you send them to LiveCycle8@gmail.com and include a description of what you are trying to do in the email and I will have a look when I can.

1.       I have a subform1 which is flowed

2.       I have subform2 inside subform1 which is positioned

3.       Inside subform2 I have two buttons 1. ADD INVENTOR 2. DELETE INVENTOR

4.       Also inside subform1 I insert a fragment called inventor

Now I want to script the buttons so that when clicked the inventor fragment either gets inserted again or deleted.

I greatly appreciate any help in this regard.
