Custom Constituent Tab

Sharon Yates
$organization

I am creating a custom constituent tab.  I have been following Ryan’s Powerpoint presentation and it has been tremendously helpful.  However, I have reached a roadblock.

I am trying to use dependent dropdowns in this manner:

·         I have a custom LT_ table with several columns, including:

customer_no

id_key

question

answer

keyword_no

·         The plan is that all columns in this table will be pre-populated EXCEPT answer.

·         The intention is that the dependent dropdown will select from T_KWCODED_VALUE based on keyword_no in the custom table; then column answer in the custom table will be set to T_KWCODE_VALUE.id

·         I have pre-populated my custom table with two rows and when I go into the custom tab I get prompted for keyword_no.  I respond and the data displays fine and the dropdown works with the keyword_no I manually enter.  The problem is that the second row never displays, and I shouldn’t have to enter the keyword_no.

Ideas??

    It seems like the anser dropdow is not getting passed the keyword_no field.  I would check the setup of the dropdown.  I would double check the name and tag properties, and also the setting under the edit tab for the dropdown.

    Sharon, make sure that “Autoretrieve” is unchecked for the dependent dropdown on the Edit Tab of the column properties.

    Thanks for your prompt replies!!!   I did figure out the two problems I had but managed to introduce some new ones.  (FYI, I think the problem with being prompted for the keyword_no was that I had accidentally made both the edit field and the display field have dropdown windows associated). 

    Now, the problems are:

    -  how to make the dropdown window scrollable.

    -  when I first go into the screen I can change the value I select from the dropdown and the new selection is saved.  When I go away from the tab and come back and select a new value, the first row in the dropdown is selected no matter which value I highlight.

    Thanks again for your help.  I am an InfoMaker newbie...!!
