Adding values to a multi-select field with deluge

Adding values to a multi-select field with deluge

Because subforms will only create new rows, I'm using deluge to recall information from a form into the subrows to mimic the behaviour of updating a row rather than creating it.

I have a multi select field called "locations" that is a list of locations for the client, and for every one they choose the subrow is populated with the existing data about that location from a form called "location" (confusing I know). When the form is saved it pushes any updates to that original form and all is well.

When the client edits the form I need a way to rebuild that subform data and the choices in the multi select. However I'm having trouble pushing the results to the multiselect field.

I hope this helps :

  1. // Get all the choices that were made for this record
  2. varFetchChoices = benchmarks [ ID == input.ID ].locations.getAll();
  3. //Clear existing subrows and choices
  4. clear locations;
  5. input.SUB_LOCATIONS.clear();
  6. //Rebuild the multiselect by looking up each location
  7. varFetch =benchmarks [ ID == input.ID ].locations.getAll();
  8.  for each  varRow in varFetch
  9. {
  10.    input.locations = varRow;
  11. }

When I set up an alert on varRow, it displays the ID of each of the locations separately as I would expect, but it only ever inputs the one location.

I suspect it's because I need to add the varRow to a list and then insert that into the multi select - but I can't get the phrasing quite right



This is what I need the end result to look like (with varying numbers of sites)



And this is the code I am using to bring the data into the subform when a multiselect choice is made

  1. //Count Subform Rows
  2. varRowCount = 0;
  3. for each  row in SUB_LOCATIONS
  4. {
  5.     if(row.ID != 0)
  6.     {
  7.         varRowCount = varRowCount + 1;
  8.     }
  9. }
  10. // Collect all the locations that are associated with this client and add to a collection
  11. if(location[ID = input.locations].ID != null)
  12. {
  13.     //create and clear the list
  14.     varCollection = Collection();
  15.     varCollection.clear();
  16.     //Add locations to the collection
  17.     varCollection.insertall(input.locations);
  18.     //Get the size of the collection (minus a one because it's a zero index)
  19.     varLocationCount = varCollection.size() - 1;
  20.     //Returns the ID of the last in the list
  21.     varLastLocation = varCollection.get(varLocationCount);
  22.     //Fetch the location about the chosen location
  23.     varFetchLocation = location[ID == varLastLocation];
  24.     //
  25.     // Now let's populate the subform
  26.     for each  varLocation in varFetchLocation
  27.     {
  28.         //create the "varNewRow" variable for holding the new row data
  29.         varNewRow = Build_your_benchmark.SUB_LOCATIONS();
  30.        //
  31.        //Set the values for each row to the varNewRow variable
  32.         varNewRow.location_name=varFetchLocation.location_name;
  33.         varNewRow.benchmark_sector=varFetchLocation.benchmark_sector;
  34.         varNewRow.region=varFetchLocation.region;
  35.         varNewRow.occupants=varFetchLocation.occupants;
  36.         varNewRow.floor_area=varFetchLocation.floor_area;
  37.         // 
  38.         //Insert "varNewRow" to new row on the subform   
  39.         input.SUB_LOCATIONS.insert(varNewRow);
  40.     }
  41. }

I hope that makes sense
