[SOLVED] Remember Fields (Dependencies)	3/12/2013 12:02:31 PM
PHPRunner General questions
P p1nr author I have the following issue: I have a lookup (dropdown) field on my add page, which is dependent on another dropdown field. After saving a record, I need the fields to "remember" the previous value, so the operator does not need to reselect the same values. By setting getDispElem().val via the php variables, after saving, the system sets the value correctly in the first dropdown, but not the second dropdown. In fact, the second dropdown now has no items in the list until the first dropdown is selected from. Is there a way to get this to work as expected? With other words, both the dropdowns should "remember" the previous values, and the second dropdown should still be filtered by the first, after saving a record.

This is a correct behavior of a dependency. Since you did not make a selection there is no dependency found. Pre-setting the first choice in the code does not equal selection. You will have to write code to pre-populate your new data fields with values from the last selection.
