Callsever event

I am using a callout linked to a field. When the callout button is clicked, a popup window comes up with a list of values and populates the linked field when selected. I need to populate 4 other fields based on the value of that field after it gets populated. The event "onItemChange" is not triggering after the field gets populated. Also the call back function if added in the callout script gets called even before the selection is made and the value appears in the field. Any idea what would be event triggered at the time the values get populated in a field from a call back list? I am on TS 6.5.

There is no event triggered by programmatic item modification - none.

Also the call back function if added in the callout script gets called even before the selection is made and the value appears in the field?

Add call back function to DCT and call it from your callout script right after changing *primary* item

I am trying to do the following but getting an error "object doesn't support this property or method".

function callback()
{
var optionsArray = document.callout_form.selection_list.options;
for ( i = 0 ; i < optionsArray.length ; i++ )
{
if (optionsArray.selected)
{
if (!set_datacapture_item_value( optionsArray.value ))
{
alert('Fatal callout error. Did you close the datacapture window?');
}
parent.getScriptFrame().dummy(optionsArray.selected);
return true;
}
}
// did not find a selected option!
return false;
}

You either do not have "dummy" function in your DCT's FormAPI or have bug(s) in the "dummy" function itself.

Please note that in essence you call "parent.getScriptFrame().dummy(true);
If 'dummy' tries to access parameter as an object it's a problem
