Can a replicant have an ItemHandler

Identifier

I am using TS6.1, and have a few fields in a container which is a replicant. Of these fields, I would like to hide 2 of them. I am able to do it successfully for the first time with the following code, but anytime I add a replicant by clicking on the '+', I would like to hide them as well. Is there a handler to catch an addition of replicant? (I want the code in "if then else" to be executed each time a replicant is added).

Thanks,
Identifier

function init()
{
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS/language", "onCallout", setOptionValues);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_Administrative/reference_name", "onItemChange", onReferenceName);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS[0]", "onItemChange", addReplicant);
loadFromDb();

// Only admin and master roles need to set the sequence name field
var shortDescFile;
var longDescFile;
if (iwrole == 'admin' || iwrole == 'master')
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_Administrative/item_id").setReadOnly(false);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/db_lang_id").setVisible(true);
i = 1;
while ( shortDescFile = IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS[" + i + "]/short_description_file") )
{
shortDescFile.setVisible(true);
longDescFile = IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS[" + i + "]/long_description_file");
longDescFile.setVisible(true);
i++;
}
}
else
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_Administrative/item_id").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/db_lang_id").setVisible(false);
i = 1;
while ( shortDescFile = IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS[" + i + "]/short_description_file") )
{
shortDescFile.setVisible(false);
longDescFile = IWDatacapture.getItem("/ItemMaster/Item_Master_MLS[" + i + "]/long_description_file");
longDescFile.setVisible(false);
i++;
}
}
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveValid", checkAppID);
}

I don't know of any supported way of doing this. It a feature that's been requested for FormAPI for a while.

However, from my cursory look at your code, it could be that you could accomplish what you need without FormAPI. Take a look at the <allowed> attribute of the datacapture DTD. You can define fields to be hidden to authors and editors, but some other control (text, radio, whatever is appropriate) for masters and admins.

FormAPI is a powerful tool, but sometimes other options work just as well, or even better.
