Import / export only SELECTED fields of a LiveCycle designed form

[alanstein]

When I import or export data (Forms>Manage Form Data>Import Data / Export Data) from / to a form designed on LC, I am only able to import / export ALL of the data.  Is it possible to import selective fields and thus preserve other selective fields.   THe problem is that when I import, I lose all data in the form into which I am importing.  ALAN STEIN

The import/export is controlled by the binding of eaxh object. If you do not want to export a specific field you can set the binding to "None". Note the binding is not dynamic ...meaning you cannot programmatically change it on the fly.

Thanks! My problem is that I can not set the fields to "none" because I

need to automatically populate other fields within the form. Any way to

keep the binding as "global" and still not export it?

Nope , you can only have one type of binding. Also you cannot change the binding programatically.

Again I have none experience with importing fields. If what I write here is completly nonsense then just ignore it

I'm just trying to help because I get a lot of help in the last times.

Would importing all the data into hidden fields and simply copying it into the visible fields (with f.ex. a button and if specificfield == null statement) not do the job?

(If the specificfield != null you could probably overwrite the hidden fields.)
