Multiple Item(list box) changes Dynamically

Teamsite 6.7.1
Windows 20003
SQLServer

I have a Datacapture that have three list box that gets populated from three callserver to a DB.
1.Item 1->List box get populate at initialisation
2.Item 2->List box gets populate on the event onItemChange from item 1
3.Item 3->List box get populate on the event onItemChange from item 2
And they are all dependant of each other meaning that listbox 2 will populate after the value of listbox 1 is setup, and listbox 3 depend on listbox 2(I hope this is clear)

That part is working great when it's a new DCR.

My Problem is when I'm opening an existing DCR the item 2 and 3 just pick up the values from the DCR.

I would like them to get re-initialize?
1.I've tried running it at start time but there seen to be synchronization issue.
2.I've tried with setTimeOut but It does seen to work.

FYI:
The Items are from the datacapture
metadata_function
metadata_subfunction
metadata_activity

I've also included my 3 callserver and the datacapture.

I'm I using the proper approach for this? I did try with inline but that's another story... :-)

I hope that you can help us because we been struggling with this issue for a some time now, your guidance is appreciated.

You may want to take a look at [post=109827]this[/post] thread. There I've explained one possible mechanism to synchronize
sequential callServer invocations

If I understand correctly, when you say it's working with new DCR it means it's working when you have not saved the DCR yet. It also means that it's not working for any DCR when you go there via EDIT option. In that case you need to identify the DCR as if it's new (not saved) or already saved. You can get it through different ways. Once you have identified whether it's a new DCR or an already saved DCR you can perform your operation as you want. I hope this helps you.

Thx for the references, look like what I want to do.

I've tried a few thing with no success,Is there any code that does this around.

------------------------------

You'd have to synchronize IPL Calls within FormAPI with the help of IPL-generated JS calls.
There are various ways to do it. For example, set "callInProgress" flag right after callServer and in your loop use setTimeout JS function to check it every oh say, one-tenth of a second. If it's true, wait another 0.1 sec, etc. If it's false, execute callServer one more time and start the process anew.

From IPL-generated JS you would have to re-set 'callInProgress' to false upon completion, either directly or by invoking dedicated 'callback' function.

Makes sense?

Thx again,
