Hi,

I would like to use a dropdown list for users to select a year. Instead of hard code a wide range of years, would be it possible to use Javascript to build the years in the options, e.g. from 1990 to current year, for user selection?

Many Thanks

cheers,
Karl

Add this trigger to the process:

Code: Select all

@=aYears = []; 
$year = 1990;
while ($year <= date('Y')) {
     @=aYears[] = [$year, $year];
      $year++;
}  

Set this trigger to fire before the Dynaform holding the dropdown box.

Then, in the properties of the dropdown in the Dynaform, set the datasource property to "array variable" and set the data variable property to: @@aYears

Hi Amos,

The $aYears could be assigned with the desired values.
But the values could not be shown in the dropdown list, i.e. all the contents are blanks. I also note that the values in the labels were converted to strings.
How to fix it?

Many Thx

cheers,
Karl

Hi Amos,

problem fixed.
The field variable and the data variable should not be the same.
Then the problem solved.

Many thx
