mandatory fields

mon

I have a dropdown in my DCR n based on the selection a container is enabled/ disabled thru form API. There are mandatory fields in the container. Now, if i select a value from the dropdown for which the container is to be disabled n try saving the dcr, i get an error message stating to enter the mandatory fields which are in the container. How do i go about solving this problem?

Take a look at the on-line FormAPI docs (ts-server>http://ts-server/iw/help/tst/formapi/formapi_29.html#SEC29) and look at the information regarding IWItem.setRequired(required) - I think you'd need to set an event handler for your drop-down to iterate through the various items within the container and either enable or disable the required attribute of each item therein.

Diabling is probably relatively easy. Enabling will probably require a bit more effort since I assume you don't want every field within the container to be required (if you do want that, enabling should be pretty easy too).

Thanks! but i also have replicants inside the container . So, how do i get a handle to that ? also, one o fthe fields in the replicant is to be made read only.

It seems, I am having the same issue. Resetting to setRequired(false) is not working onItemchange event for an item(dropdown list).
The following is the code snippet, for your review. Interesting thing is setVisible is resetting. But the setRequired is not.

Mon, I wonder, if you got any resolution on this.

Any clue in this regard is really appreciated.

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/categorization/hlc", "onItemChange", makeVisibleInitialCategorization);

function makeVisibleInitialCategorization()
{

// Reset category items to be invisible each time a new selection is made
resetCategorization();

}

function resetCategorization()
{
ProductLineItem.setRequired(false);
ProductLineItem.setVisible(false);
ProductsSingleItem.setRequired(false);
ProductsSingleItem.setVisible(false);
ProductsMultiItem.setRequired(false);
ProductsMultiItem.setVisible(false);
ProductsMultiISection.setVisible(false);
}

Thanks
