Dropdown value using inputlookup

rsathish47 — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:24:10 GMT

Hi All,

Am not able to populate value for dropdown using inputlookup.. Nothing was listing the Dropdown. Please let me if am doing anything wrong. Thanks in advance

<fieldset>
  <input type="dropdown" token="country_name">
  <label>Select a user</label>
  <choice value="*">Any</choice>
    <populatingSearch fieldForValue="country_name" fieldForLabel="country_name">
      <![CDATA[ | inputlookup country_name | fields country_name ]]>
    </populatingSearch>
  </input>
</fieldset>

Thanks
Sathish R

Simple XML:

Select a country Any | inputlookup country_name | fields country_name

In principle that's the correct way to go. Does the populating search yield results in the regular search interface for that app?

That should work then, copying your fieldset into a SimpleXML form over here works as soon as I added a corresponding lookup by that name.

Based on the full form XML, your fields Business_unit doesn't match up with fieldforvalue="BUName".

In this xml (pasted above), name of the field returned by "|inputlookup" and used in 'fieldforvalue' and 'fieldforlabel' is different. You need to add "|rename Business_unit as BUName" in your search for dropdown.
