Please show the actual code you have written to provide context for the question you are asking.

file_name is a one field of the form,
[html]

File Name

[/html]


function handleOnSaveDone() 
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/teaser/file_name").setValue(IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
}

File Name

function handleOnSaveDone() 
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/teaser/file_name").setValue(IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
}

IMHO this seems like a bad design to me. Why do you want to store the file name as a field? In any case, here is what this code is doing:

1. On Save Done, populate the "file_name" field with the dcr name.
2. You are never saving the DCR after that file_name field is set -- so unless your users are hitting "save" twice until this field value has been saved you'll continue to get a blank / null value.

You probably should look at another event (i.e. onSaveNameSpecified or onSaveValid).

use above method


function handleOnSaveDone() 
  {
IWDatacapture.getItem("/teaser/file_name").setValue(IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
alert("success! FileName:"+IWDCRInfo.getDCRName());
        }

now can getDCRName like, and also can see the name was filled in the field. see attach image.
but after saved, then open this dcr, there's no value in this field, this value was not saved, in fact.

Read my previous post. In the current state, you are saving the DCR and then updating the file_name field and never saving that update.

yes,you are right, can not implement like this, even if using onSaveNameSpecified or onSaveValid.

so i let user enter file name in form first, then get this field value as the dcr name when saved.

That is a much better design.

I always have a SaveAsName field in my DCR & onSaveValid I set the name to that value (after I do validation of course).

When an existing DCR is opened, this must become a readonly field.
