How to make a script dynamic while adding forminstances in a dynamic form

[Bibhu_Bikash_Na]

I have a form . Which has 8 pages (page 1-8).There is a radio button at the bottom of the page - 8 , If it's clicked as yes , then it will add an instance of Page 6,7,7&8.There are two Dropdowns in Page 6.

1st Dropdown is for Entity and the 2nd Dropdown is for State Value.Script is written on the onChange event for the Entity : Suppose a value is selected in the entity , then basing on that value some fixed valued dropdown list will appear for State field.If i add an instance for the Page 6,7,8 which is under Subform Section -1 Then the Drop Down for the State value is not working in the new instance created.I tried a lot but it's not working.Is there anyhelp for it ?

Script for Entity field

        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.Entity::change - (JavaScript, client)
var newVal = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
switch (newVal)
{
    case "A":
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.clearItems();
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('x');
        break;

    case "B":
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.clearItems();
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('a');
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('a');
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('c');
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('d');
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('e');
        TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6.State.addItem('f');
        break;

       
    default:
    break;
}

Hi,

It is a bit awkward without the form, but basically the script does not know which page6 your are referring to. When there is a single instance of the page, it can be referenced by "...page6.State", but when there are several instances of the page, they are referenced by "...page6[0].State", "...page6[1].State", "...page6[2].State", etc.

So the task is to find out which instance of page 6 the dropdown is in and then reference that instance. You will see from above that the index is zero based, it is a good idea to include a line that will print the output (i) to the Javascript Console (Press Control+J when previewing). You can comment this out (//) or delete it after testing.

The next thing is to resolve the node when combining the page SOM and the particular instance of it (i).

So:

var i = this.parent.index; 
console.println("i: ", i); // when previewing press Control+J to see the output
var currentPage6 = xfa.resolveNode("TopmostSubform.Sub_Form_Section1.Page6[" + i + "]"); 
var newVal = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
switch (newVal)
{
    case "A": 
        currentPage6.State.clearItems();
        currentPage6.State.addItem('x');
        break;
    case "B":
        currentPage6.State.clearItems();
        currentPage6.State.addItem('a');
          ...
        break;
        
    default:
    break;
}

It may need some tweaking, but should be close to working.

Good luck,

Niall
