Auto populating combo box from another combo box - script help

[jenniferc11972072]

I have been trying to follow instructions on how to create combo which auto pop another combo and intern that combo box auto pop other cells.  I used an existing sample script and tried to replace there var and objects with mine but it not functioning. Can someone review my script?

I have 6 cells goals, tactics, results, budget, action, tips. Both goals and tactics are combo boxes/drop boxes and the remain four are auto pop from the tact selection.

Please note i am very new to coding and trying my very best.

Hello Jennifer,

   Setting the items on multiple linked lists is complicated.  It's even more complicated because each selection has the ability to set multiple text fields as well as forcing the items to change in the next list. The method I've outlined is generic, which makes it even more complicated because it has to take into account any number of consecutive linked list.

It looks like you've taken the best approach, which is make sure the code for just setting the list items is working. The code you've posted is a document script, the location where all the important bits are defined. It is only the first part of a complicated process.

So the first issue is that is a problem is the first line in the "SetListItems()" function. It should be this:

  var oListSel = oDataSelection.Tactics;

"oDataSelection" is the value passed into the function, "oDatascource" is undefined in the context of the function.

The second bit is that "bBlockValueChanges" is being re-declared, i.e. there are multiple instances with the "var" declaration.  Only declare it once with "var".

Now your code will work.

Now for the "SetFieldValues" function.

Notice that the arguments declared in the function signature do not match the arguments used in the body of the function, as highligned below. These need to match verbatim.

function  SetFieldValues(cSel, oDataSource, oResultFld, oBudgetFld, oAction, oTips)

{

   if(oDataSource && cSel && !bBlockValueChanges)

   {

      var oItemVals = oDataSource[cSel];

      oResults.value = oItemVals?oItemVals.results:"";

     oBudget.value = oItemVals?oItemVals.budget:"";

      oAction.value = oItemVals?oItemVals.action:"";

      oTips.value = oItemVals?oItemVals.tips:"";

   }

}
