Store computed values in a DCR

joma

I have a dct where a <inline> calls a *.ipl to build up a part of the dct.

<substitute><item>........</item></substitute>

Some of the values I'm giving back to the dct need to be hidden, but stored in the dcr. I tried it with a hidden field but, there is no default/computed value you can store.

Any ideas? Help is appreciated...

What version of TeamSite are you using?

If you are using 5.5 or above, the templating FormAPI may be helpful. You can use javascript to populate the form with the different fields as needed, and have a great deal more control than with a simple inline.

That being said, updating readonly fields can still be tricky. What are these read-only values being used for? How are they calculated? It may be useful to calculate them after the DCR is saved. (Via a trigger, workflow or FormAPI)
