I have a dropdown in a grid with a value from a previous form entry (it's set to view only). Let's call it grid1 (dropdown is dropdown1). I would like to be able to populate another dropdown in a grid (dropdown2 in grid 2) with the value that was entered earlier in Javascript.

How do I do this?

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you have two way:

1. With php and set a trigger before form2 like this:

Code: Select all

@=grid2[1]['dropdown2'] = @=grid1[1]['dropdown1'];

2. With php and javascript and create a hidden value in form 2:
first set a trigger before form2 like this:

Code: Select all

@@hidden_value = @=grid1[1]['dropdown1'];

second set javascript code in form 2:

Code: Select all

var temp = $('#hidden_value').getValue();
$("#form\\[grid2\\]\\[1\\]\\[dropdown2\\]").val(temp);

If you want to set multiple rows in grid2 set from grid1 you must use way1 and use loop.

Thanks
