Using dropdown append and add functions on a dropdown field inside a dynamically generated subform row

Using dropdown append and add functions on a dropdown field inside a dynamically generated subform row

Greetings

i'm working on a subform where i will create rows dynamically and assign them values on form load. i also want to assign choices dynamically to the dropdown menus of each generated row.

the issue is when i try to access the :ui of the dynamically generated row i get that the row name variable i'm using is null! despite that i was using it in the previous line with no issues!

here is how my code looks, what can i do to achieve what i need?


  2. row1 = Add_Employee.Earnings();
  3. x = New_Earning[Earning_Type == id];
  4. row1.SALARY_COMPONENTS=x.ID;

  6. ear_typ = New_Earning[ID == row1.SALARY_COMPONENTS].Earning_Type;
  7.         //i try here to add the choices list to the dropdown component
  8. row1.COMPONENTS_DROPDOWN:ui.add(New_Earning[Earning_Type == ear_typ].ID.getAll());

  10.        if(x.Calculation_Type == "Flat Amount")
  11. {
  12. row1.MONTHLY_AMOUNT=x.Enter_Amount;
  13. row1.ANNUAL_AMOUNT=x.Enter_Amount * 12;
  14. row1.Calculation_Type="Fixed amount";
  15. }
  16. else
  17. {
  18. row1.Calculation_Type=x.Percentage + " %";
  19. }
  20.         //everything else works correctly and i can successfully assign values to dynamic fields
  21. input.Earnings.insert(row1);

thanks
