Changing field values in V8 Style Editor

GangiReddy_Nandyala

HI Bertrand,
I Have two widgets on my CIF,
First widget is of type "list select"
Secodn is "text field".
i overrided theme for "list select"
<core:template key="vcm-widget-listselect:ContentInstance:EOC:TYPE" path="/customv8/theme/corporate/template/widget/listselect.jsp"/>

in this jsp i am able get the value of my second widget, but i am unable to set the value for that widget.

Following is my code
 var ciEditor = vui.ui.editor.find('<%=editorId%>');

listeners: {
                        'select' : {
                                fn: function(){
                                        if(listSelectField.getValue()!= ''){
                                                alert(listSelectField.getValue());  
                        --- iam getting 'TYPELABEL'
                                                var typeLabelField = ciEditor.getWidget('TYPELABEL');
                        --- Setting value for this.
                                                 typeLabelField.setDataValue(listSelectField.getValue());
                         ----  after this i am getting alert as the updated value.
                                                alert(ciEditor.getWidget('TYPELABEL').value);
                                                alert('registered');
                                        }
i am able to set the value using setDataValue(), but in js alert iam getting the updated value,
but the same value is not reflecting on the page, still it is showing the old value, the field is not updating.

any thing i am missing here or how we can update the value of other filed.

Thanks,
Gangi.

Hi,

These APIs are not supported as these can and probably will change in next release. You can use following to set the value:

When you have the handle towidget object, use widget.fieldId to get the field id. You can then use vExt.getCmp(fieldId).setValue(<valueto set>) to set the value in the field.

As stated, these APIs are not supported and are subject to change. There may be a better way to achieve the same but we have used the above method.

Hope this helps.
