How can we filter a lookup that is in a page of the dialog process.
E.g. I have a lookup to "incident" on Prompt and Response, I would like to filter it based on the value of a field in incident entity.
I tried:
Creating new views, also setting it as default.
addPreSearch and addCustomFilter on the field on the form(Not sure how to use these scripts inside the Dialog)
Any Ideas ?
Thanks you
Unfortunately this is not possible.
As an alternative you could consider adding a query to the dialog and a page with a prompt having an Option Set (picklist) response type.

I am testing the azure-devops-migration-tools and have create a project using https://azuredevopsdemogenerator.azurewebsites.net/ (Parts Unlimited). I have generated the configuration.json and changed the Source and Target so I can test a migration, but I'm getting errors while migrating Work Items.
[15:14:41 ERR] Error running query
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.ValidationException: TF51005: The query references a field that does not exist. The error is caused by «ReflectedWorkItemId».
I've tried different options on the "ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName" field, Scrum, Basic, Agile, Custom, empty but am still unable to migrate the work items.
How can I get the value to put on this field for the specific project?
Thanks,
Bruno
Quick Solution: Most ADO instances use the prefix 'custom' for new fields. Try "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId" in your configuration.json to see if that resolves the problem.
More details: It's hard to tell without an actual configuration.JSON file to review. One possible problem is that you need to use the actual and full internal 'Name' of the ReflectedWorkItemID field. This doesn't show in ADO, or the Process Template when created. The recommendation is that you create a query referencing your custom field, and export the WIQL file (query file). Once you export the WIQL file, you can then open the file and see the full syntax of the custom field.
Exporting Queries: If you don't know how to do this, it can be done with VisualStudio. If you don't know how to do that, you can install this extension. It's a handy WIQL import/Export and editor. Install, and your ADO Queries with have an Edit in WIQL Editor option. Create a query that exposes your 'ReflectedWorkItemID' as a column, then edit that query in the WIQL editor and see the full names of the Reflected Work Items ID Feild. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ottostreifel.wiql-editor
SELECT
[System.Id],
[System.WorkItemType],
[System.Title],
[System.AssignedTo],
[System.ChangedBy],
[Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId]
FROM workitems
WHERE ...
I found a possible solution. I have created a custom process, change the process from the projects to this new one and add a new field. This is the field I'm using on the configuration.json and now I'm able to migrate work items
To make the migration in the "ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName" you must do:
"Organization Settings" -> Process -> Select the process where you project are (Basic, Scrum, Agil, or CMMI).
then click on the 3 dots and create a new Inherited process.
Then with the inherited process, you are able to create a new field for each work item type. The name that you type (could be "IronMan") that name will be in your configuration file.
I'm building a PowerApps app on Azure SQL
The requirement
I have a form which has "Save" and "Confirm" buttons.
Both buttons should save the form data. The Commit button should also set database column "Confirm" to 1
I've read at length about how I can programatically override the update value of a hidden control for this. But I'm not satisfied with the level of complexity (maintenance) required to get this working, i.e.
Populate a variable with the current db value
In the button code set the variable value
In the form field, set the update property to the variable
What I'm Trying
So I'm trying a different approach: SubmitForm then Patch. Even though this requires an extra database call, I'd like to understand if this will work. This is the code for OnSelect in the commit button:
// Save the record
SubmitForm(frmEdit);
// Update confirmed to 1
Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1});
Some Complexities
Note that my record is a variable, cRecord. In short I want this app to be able to upsert based on URL parameters.
This is my App.OnStart which captures URL values, inserts a record if required. Regardless, the result of this event is that cRecord is set to the record to be edited.
// Cache employees and store lookups (as they are in a different db)
Concurrent(Collect(cEmployees, Filter('[dbo].[SalesPerson]', Status = "A")),Collect(cStores, '[dbo].[Store]'));
// Check for parameters in the URL. If found, set to Edit/Add mode
Set(bURLRecord,If((!IsBlank(Param("PersonId")) && !IsBlank(Param("Date"))),true,false));
// If URL Parameters were passed, create the record if it doesn't exist
If(bURLRecord,
Set(pPersonId,Value(Param("PersonId")));
Set(pDate,DateValue(Param("Date")));
// Try and find the record
Set(cRecord,LookUp('[dbo].[Comments]',SalesPersonId=pPersonId && TransactionDate = pDate));
If(IsBlank(cRecord),
// If the record doesn't exist, create it with Patch and capture the resulting record
Set(cRecord,Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',Defaults('[dbo].[Comments]'),{SalesPersonId:pPersonId,TransactionDate:pDate}))
);
// Navigate to the data entry screen. This screen uses cRecord as its item
Navigate(scrEdit);
)
frmEdit.Item is set to cRecord. As an aside I also have a gallery that sets this variable value when clicked so we can also navigate here from a gallery.
The navigating using new and existing URL parameters works. Navigating from the gallery works.
The problem
When I press the Commit button against a record which has Confirmed=0 I get this popup error:
The data returned by the service is invalid
When I run this code against a record which already has Confirmed=1 I don't get an error
If I run the PowerApps monitor it doesn't show any errors but it does show some counts being run after the update. I can paste it here if required.
I also tried wrapping the Path in a Set in case it's result was confusing the button event but it didn't make a difference.
What I want
So can anyone offer me any of the following info:
How can I get more info about "The data returned by the service is invalid"?
How can I get this to run without erroring?
Is there a simpler way to do the initial upsert? I was hoping a function called Patch could upsert in one call but it seems it can't
With regards to the setting field beforehand approach, I'm happy to try this again but I had some issues implementing it - understanding which control where to edit.
Any assistance appreciated.
Edit
As per recommendations in the answer, I moved the patch code into OnSuccess
If(Confirmed=1,Patch('[dbo].[CoachingComments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1}));
But now I get the same error there. Worse I cleared out OnSucces and just put SubmitForm(frmEdit); into the OnSelect event and it is saving data but still saying
The data returned by the service was invalid
First things first,
Refactoring has multiple steps,
I can t type all out at once...
The submitform and patch issue:
Never use the submitforn with extra conplexity
Submitform is only the trigger to send the form out,
The form handler will work with your data...
If you hsven t filled out the form correctly, u don t want to trigger your patch action...
So:
On your form, you have an OnSucces property,
Place your patch code there...
Change your cRecord in your patch statement:
YourForm.LastSubmit
I am trying to set my yadcf filters up so they can be triggered from a call (link) from another page. I have an angular single page application that has three tabs on it. If a user clicks a link on lets say the first tab, they will go to another tab (separate table) that contains detailed information relevant to the link they click. (e.g. They are on a row in a table that deals with Apple Mac Pro computers. They see that there are 20 skus currently in the system. They click the number 20 and they go to a lower tab (different table) that contains all the information for those skus). There is no server call in the middle. All the data is loaded in all the tables when the application loads up. So, they are simply clicking a link that applies a filter to the detail table.
yadcf can do this through externally_triggered filters. However, when I set 'externally_triggered': true, it stops the actual filters from working on the details table. (In other words, I can no longer go to that table and manually adjust the filters.)
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
It appears the externally_triggered: true switch does not need to be turned on to use yadcf.exFilterColumn() method. I do not understand when it does need to be turned on, but I am able to call the exFilterColumn method and pass it the options needed to 'prefilter' the table while still retaining the ability to filter the table manually.
externally_triggered and yadcf.exFilterColumn are not related in any way, indeed when yadcf.exFilterColumn is used filters behave a bit differently - they are not filtering on change/keyup/etc , but rather only when the uadcf.exFilterExternallyTriggered function is called (its on purpose and all is explained in the docs)
Here is the relevant text from the docs of the externally_triggered, here it is:
* externally_triggered
Required: false
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Description: Filters will filter only when yadcf.exFilterExternallyTriggered(table_arg) is called
Special notes: Useful when you want to build some form with filters and you want to trigger the filter when that form
"submit" button is clicked (instead of filtering per filter input change)

What I want to do
In InstallShield I want to set the value of a Property before it is used by the SQL Text Replacement feature. I want the new Property value to come from an Edit control that I've added to a dialog.
What I've done so far
I have added SQL Scripts to my InstallShield project, which include placeholders for InstallShield's Text Replacement feature. I've used the Text Replacement tab to find and replace a placeholder in the SQL script with the value of a Property that I've added to the Property Manager. This works correctly, but only for the Property's default value.
Where I'm stuck
The problem is that I want the new value to come from an Edit control in my custom Dialog, but I can't find a way to do this. Text Replacement always uses the Property's default value.
What I've tried is the following InstallScript, which runs when the user clicks Next on my custom Dialog:
CtrlGetText("MyDialog", EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER, svValueFromUser);
MsiSetProperty ( hwndDlg, "EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER", svValueFromUser);
Where EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER is my Property. This runs without error, but the value doesn't come through to the final SQL script.
Why isn't the new value for EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER being used by SQL Text Replacement? How can I diagnose why it's not working? Should I be doing this in a completely different way?
This turned out to be because I wasn't using the system property ISMSI_HANDLE.
So the correct code to write a Property from an Edit control in a custom dialog is:
CtrlGetText("MyDialog", EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER, svValueFromUser);
MsiSetProperty (ISMSI_HANDLE, "EDIT_VALUE_FROM_USER", svValueFromUser);
I'm guessing your property isn't listed in the SecureCustomPublicProperties property and is getting set back to it's default value when the installer transitions to the install execute sequence. A log file of the installation would give more data to work with.
Using: Oracle ApEx 3.0.1
I have a SQL report region that contains a hidden page item as part of the "where clause". My problem is, based on a value entered by the user, I need to assign this value entered to my hidden item, so that it can be used within the where condition of my SQL but this would need to be done without actually submitting the form.
At the moment, I can set the value via an on-demand process but my SQL is still not returning any values as the hidden page item within the query is not set (as page has not been submitted).
I am not sure how to do this and whether in actual fact, this is possible to do, without having submitted the page.
Since you are on Apex 3, you don't have dynamic actions, but that doesn't hinder so much.
I've set up an example on apex.oracle.com. To get in the workspace, use workspace 'tompetrusbe' + apex_demo / demo.
There is a dynamic action there, which can do the work too, but i've disabled it.
What you need to make it work:
an ajax callback process, with the following line:
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_PAR_ENAME', apex_application.g_x01);
Give your report region a static id, i called mine 'report_emp'. This so i can easily retrieve it.
In the javascript region of the page, you then need to call the app process, and then refresh the region. Also bind the event which needs to trigger this action. I've done it here through the onchange event of the parameter textfield.
function refresh_report(oTrgEl){
//alert('refresh: ' + $v(oTrgEl));
//calling the application process which sets the session state of P2_PAR_ENAME
var oGet = new htmldb_Get(null, &APP_ID., 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_session_state', &APP_PAGE_ID.);
oGet.addParam("x01", $v(oTrgEl));
oGet.get(); //the app process just sets something, it returns nothing
//refresh the report region
$("#report_emp").trigger("apexrefresh");
};
function bind_events(){
//call this onload
$("#P2_PAR_ENAME").change(function(){refresh_report(this);});
};
In the query of the report i use where ename like '%'||UPPER(:P2_PAR_ENAME)||'%'.
When you type (for example) 'bl' in, and tab out (to trigger the onchange), the region will refresh and will be filtered.
You'll just need to adapt to your solution :)
