Adobe LiveCycle Designer update master template from form template

[former_member306668]

Hi;

I am customising a billing form template for one of our customers. In there I like to update a couple of fields in the master template with information coming from the form template. Can this be achieved through scripting or any other way?

I have tried following in the validate event (for a control) in the form template: 

xfa.resolveNodes("Form.Portrait_OutboundLetter.#pageSet") or xfa.resolveNode("Form.Portrait_OutboundLetter.#pageSet")

But nothing is returned.

Executing xfa.resolveNode("Form.Portrait_OutboundLetter") returns an object, but there are no child nodes available.

Executing xfa.resolveNode("Form") returns an object, and I can see Portrait_OutboundLetter as one of the child nodes.

I can't use binding either because the value that I want to be displayed in the master template is already bound on the form template.

Regards

Thomas

Hi,

it's possible. Take a look at this subform in the content layout:

Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtFormTitle::ready:layout

// Set the form title as the combination of title and document ID, separated by colon

//First Page (always available)

if (HasValue(txtChangedDocument.rawValue) == 0)

then

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Concat(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblSalesOrder.rawValue, ": ", Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue)

else

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Concat(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblChangeToSalesOrder.rawValue, "\u000d", Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblSalesOrder.rawValue, ": ",Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue)

endif

Hi Nicolas;

Great I have spend too much time on this already, and your solution is working. It is important which event is used for this. Works perfect in the ready:layout event.

As a workaround I was setting the value from some script in the master page (but this wasn't ideal)

Thanks again

Thomas
