Dynamic Stamp Adobe Acrobat

Hello Experts,

 

I'm having an issue with a dynamic stamp that I'm working on. It has four dropdown fields, but the text fields are displaying an error message saying "Object Aggregate". I suspect there might be an issue with the commit function idk, but I'm not very experienced with adding dropdown fields to stamps. Could anyone lend a hand and assist me with this?

 

TIA

    Correct answer Thom Parker

    Now its showing "UNDEFINED"

     

    In this code, "ForEach" loop is it correct or there should be "For"? : 

    function getListSelect(oLstItems){forEach(nm in oLstItems){if(oLstItems[nm]>0)return nm;};return null;}

     

     

     

     


    Excellent catch!! Yes, it should be a for loop.  Here's the corrected code:

     

    function getListSelect(oLstItems){for(nm in oLstItems){if(oLstItems[nm]>0)return nm;};return "";}

    Dialog list fields return an object. It's the same object is used to initialize the list. 

     {"Orange":-1, "Pear":-1, "Peach":-1}

     

    Except, one of the object elements will have a value of "1", instead of -1. That's the one that has been selected.

    You need a function to loop over the object elements and find the one with the non-negative value;

     

    function getListSelect(oLstItems){forEach(nm in oLstItems){if(oLstItems[nm]>0)return nm;};return null;}

    Thanks for the reply,

    I use negatives values for all items because i don't want to make default selection in dropdown. 

    where can i use this function line in my code: 

    function getListSelect(oLstItems){forEach(nm in oLstItems){if(oLstItems[nm]>0)return nm;};return null;}

    Each item must have a unique value. You can't use -1 for all of them. Use +1 for the one you want to have selected by default, then -2 for the next item, -3 for the next, etc.

    The code provided by Thom needs to go in the commit function of the dialog object.
