Can we get the current item ID value while submitting the data in InfoPath form.
I need to use this and concatenate the ID with other field value. Tired "Max(#ID) + 1" function but it wouldn't solve the problem.
I know it can be done using calculated column or workflow.
It needs to be done using InfoPath form ? Is it possible ?
You already figured it out yourself. Im assuming you are trying to use the ID in naming it.
Create a blank field.
Then add that field to your submission naming concat.
Create a receive data connection (assuming you havent) to that library.
On the Submit rule add the query action to that library and a set field action to set that new blank field with max(ID) + 1. Make sure Submit action is last.
That should do it unless Im missing something as I have used this many times!

I am trying to increment an Id in a Sharepoint list.
I have tried different settings in the online editor of Sharepoint under "Settings > List Settings > Edit Column > Calculated Value".
Another option I tried was to create a custom add form using InfoPath.
In this custom form, I added a rule on my field contactId. The rule has two actions.
Create a Query to the Contacts table
Set the current Id equal to (the maximum idContacts + 1)
enter image description here
A thirth option I tried is to set a rule under Submit options. That way I thought when I submit my form it will check if idContacts is currently blank. It will Query the Contacts table, set the current idContacts as the (maximum idContacts + 1) and finally submit the data to my table.
enter image description here
Finally When I submit my form it gives a pop up message "Connecting to Server" then it redirects to my list but nothing is added to the list.
Does anyone know what my problem could be. Or does anyone know a proper way to do this. I already lookup up a lot of tutorials and other information but I can not find it.
Thank you in advance!
I have a form in Lotus Notes containing an editable text field.
Once the user enters a value in that field, it gets saved properly when I check it by opening the document from the back-end.
But I need this value to be seen in the form every time the user opens the form.
Because it is a configuration form where the user should be able to see all the values saved.
For example, a field which contains the path to download a report. And it should be an editable field itself. Is there any way to do this? Any sort of clue or help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The value of an editable field stored in a document does keep it's value every time the user opens the document.
It sounds like you may ask for something else. You want User A to create a document, enter a value (i.g. a download path) and save the document. When User A or User B later creates another document based on the same form, the previously entered value should be the default. Is that what you mean?
In that case you could simply use #DbLookup or #DbColumn in the formula language in the Default Value property of the field.
Or create a lookup view with the previously created document, sorted descending by date, then use the GetFirstDocument method of the NotesView class to get the first document in that view and read the value out of it using the GetItemValues method of the NotesDocument class.
Performance tip: If you make sure the value you want to look up is visible in the lookup view you can use the GetFirstEntry method of the NotesView class, then use the ColumnValues property to get the value, this is much faster.
Solution is to use #DbColumn in the default value of the editable text field of my form
I'm trying to build an HTML table with some data of an entity, and then, add a column with a checkbox for each row, in order to validate if the precious data is valid or not. After user checks or not each checkbox, I have to update the database table with this info.
As when I build the form I don't know exactly how many checkboxes I have, I pass to twing template an array of entities, and then I buid a new input type"checkbox" at last column for each row.
But when I submit my form (POST method), I'm not able to get this info. $request object doesn't have any of the checkboxes nor form reference. $request->request->all() is getting a null value. How can I get fields of a manual form build in a twig template?
Thanks
Now It's working. Thanks a lot ($request->request->all() is getting values now). It's a mistery...
I have one form using to different models. I want to be able to create a new Person and eventually a new User, to give this person an account. A person doens't need to have a User related (could be just a person used for statistics or something like that). I have a checkbox in my form "Click if you want create a user" and I show the user part of the form if it's checked.
Then in the controller I can, with the checkbox value, know if I need call performAjax() for both Person and User or only Person.
But my problem is about the client validation. If I try to submit the form without the User required field, for example, the submition will abort and i'll get some errors like "This field is requiered".
So, my question is how could I skip the validation of my user model if its fields are empty (checkebox unchecked, we don't want to create a user).
Any help are welcom :)
Sorry for my bad English.
Have a good day :)

When saving the model, set the first parameter on false to skip validation:
$model->save(false)
I can't figure out how to make a field autocomplete in ATK.
I guess it has something to do with the type "reference" but still not sure.
Suppose I'm looking for a client name in a "line" type field, then the autocomplete should list me all/topXX matching names.
Scenario 1:
Once I hit [Enter] I'd need all that row from DB loaded in a form fields so I can edit the record.
I guess this requires getting the client ID first then posting to an "edit" page then calling "loadData()" method for that ID and populate fields.
Scenario 2:
I'm assignig a job request to a client. First I find the client then I could store its ID in a hidden field to be posted then.
Any advice?
TIA
I would suggest you to go with 2 forms. First form with a single field, and when field is changed it automatically reloads second form including the parameter.
You will also need an autocomplete field. Autocomplete is somewhat buggy in 4.0, but it have been polished up in 4.1 by using a technique in http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox
For use with models and controllers and also dropdown, example is here:
http://codepad.agiletoolkit.org/reloadform
Alternative example:
http://demo.atk4.com/demo.html?t=22
Since 4.1, you can also use autocomplete fields instead of reference:
$form1->addField('autocomplete','user');
