SetFocus on a object in a copied subform

[Former Community Member]

Hello!

Inside a subform I have a "Copy" button that copy the entire subfom.

What I want: when user press "Copy", except for coping the subform, I want to set focus on a object (any object) inside newly copied subform.

Is it possible?

Hi,

Yes you can, you just need to count the current number of instances of the subform (data) and then set the focus to a field in that instance:

_data.addInstance();

var i = _data.count - 1;

xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.resolveNode("data[" + i + "].firstName"));

The underscore before the name of the subform is shorthand for "instanceManager".

Hope that helps,
