Default value in a multiselect inherited from a field in another module

Hi Kristjan Geir Mathiesen

Can you try this and let me know.

While creating a dropdown you will be giving a name, with that we can manage.

this.model.fields['FieldB or FieldA'].options = app.lang.getAppListStrings('your-dropdownlist-name');  

Let me know for further Help..

Here is the full code example;

({ extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',  
    initialize: function (options) {         
        this._super('initialize', [options]);       
        this._filterDropdown();  
    },  
    _filterDropdown : function() {  
        this.model.fields['FieldB or FieldA'].options = app.lang.getAppListStrings('your-dropdownlist-name');   
    },  
    _dispose: function() {   
        this._super('_dispose');   
    }       
});  

Hope this Helps..!!

Hi Ramana Raju Santhana

Thanks for a speedy reply

I´ve got 3 questions:

1) The name of the field (in Contacts) that is to inherit the value from Account is target_group_contact_c 

The name of the field (in Account) is target_group_c

The name of the list is target_group_list

Is this code then correct?

({ extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',  
    initialize: function (options) {         
        this._super('initialize', [options]);       
        this._filterDropdown();  
    },  
    _filterDropdown : function() {  
        this.model.fields['target_group_c'].options = app.lang.getAppListStrings('target_group_list');   
    },  
    _dispose: function() {   
        this._super('_dispose');   
    }       
});  

2) Sorry but I´m new at this extending stuff   

What is the name of the file the above code go into?

Do I copy that file or create a new, empty one with that name?

And what is the path of the extended file?

3) These are actually MultiSelect fields (not Dropdown), should I then change:

this._filterDropdown(); to -> this._filterMultiselect();
and
this._filterDropdown(); to -> this._filterMultiselect();

?

Thanks so much,

KGM

Hi Kristjan Geir Mathiesen

For Question 1: 

If you want target_group_list  to field target_group_contact_c then do as:

({ extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',  
    initialize: function (options) {         
        this._super('initialize', [options]);       
        this._filterDropdown();  
    },  
    _filterDropdown : function() {  
        this.model.fields['target_group_contact_c'].options = app.lang.getAppListStrings('target_group_list');   
    },  
    _dispose: function() {   
        this._super('_dispose');   
    }       
});  

For Question 2:

Keep this code in

custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/views/create.js file

For Question 3:

No need of changing to Multi or Dropdown, we can give any name..

Hope this Helps..!!

Hi ,

I have similar requirement. But instead of onload , can we do it onchange of some field.

I am trying to achieve multiselect dependent on another multiselect field. With your code I am able to set dropdown list on load but same thing I am trying to do with on change event is not working. Could you please suggest me something?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Dipika Baghele

Repalce following lines and let me know:

this._filterDropdown();  

                                 to

this.events['change your-fieldName = '_filterDropdown'; 

Now in _filterDropdown function:

_filterDropdown : function() {  
        // Give the name of your target multiselection field Name
        this.model.fields['your-target-fieldName'].options = app.lang.getAppListStrings('target_group_list');   
    },  
    _dispose: function() {   
        this._super('_dispose');   
    }

Hope this Helps..!!
