Submission Guidelines

Assign a value to Interface tool(All Tools)

All the tools in the interface should be populated and assigned/selected with dynamic values.

 

Now we have the option of populating a set of values for Tree/List/Dropdown.

But we do not have the selecting some of them by default / while its loading.

 

And Other controls like TextBox/NumericUpDown/CheckBox/RadioButton also should be controlled by values from database.

 

For example If I have a set of three radio buttons, I should be selecting a radio button based on my database values while the workflow loading.

This is also a topic I am having trouble with for a billing and invoicing app.  I am using 3 radio buttons to select the billing structure options (ERP, % of Standard rate with a Cap, Rate Table).  Each structure needs different information.  I want to filter by Client, then Engagement Code, then the numeric up down tools would have their default values adjusted to the values in the called record.  Then people could edit the fields as needed and submit updates.  I don't want all fields to default to zero in the event that someone scrolling through codes does not overwrite good values with zeros.

 

Someone suggested a macro(s) to update the interface tools... 

 

I have not found a solution yet but if someone has one please let me know.  I will share here if I find anything.

 

I believe this is a related comment
