Copy the Field value from one Form to other Form by #formula-LOTUS NOTES - forms

I want to Copy the Field value from one Form to other Form by #formula, How can it do it.
Main Form name is "A", second Form name is "B",
Form "A" Field include[ID/Name/AEmail],Form "B"Field include[ID/DateTime/Record/BEamil]
When create a new record on Form B, then the Bemail Field value=AEmail when A.ID=B.ID.

First of all: You don't want to copy field values from one FORM to another, but from one DOCUMENT to another. It is important to understand the difference... A form defines, how to display Data, a document CONTAINS the data (and is displayed with the form that is named in the "Form"- item of the document.
But now to your question: If document A is selected, when you create document B, then you simply enable the FORM- Property "Formulas Inherit Values from selected document" on the second tab of the properties.
In the field- formulas of form B just enter the name of the Field in Form A as Formula.
e.G.: If the field in Form A is named "AEmail" then enter AEmail in the Value of field "BEmail" of Form B.
Beware: this "inheritance" is only done ONCE when the document is created, there will be no relation between the two documents to update BEmail, if AEmail changes. To update the values dependantly you would need to construct something like #GetDocField( unidOfDocA; "AEmail" ) but that would need some more knowledge of the formula language.

Adobe Acrobat form fields are all auto completing

In Acrobat preference I have auto complete turned off.
When I fill in one form field, all of the other form fields are filled in too with the same word?
So if I enter 'hello' into one field all the other form fields on the questionnaire get the value 'hello'.
I copied and pasted the form fields for each question to save time, surely that doesn't mean each form field in the questionnaire is just one form field, or does it?
How can I separate each form field so it can hold its own answer?
I found an answer to my question.
Fields with the same name will automatically get the same value, so each form field needs a different name.
If you create one form field, then right click on the form field in the menu on the right and choose 'place multiple fields', you can then input how many fields you want for the form along with other options. Acrobat then names each form field separately for you.

Symfony2 - render an array collection within an entity as radio not as (dropdown) chioce field

I created a form with an collection of forms - the user shall be able to edit many items within one screen.
Each entity in the collection of forms consists for example of a text field and a choice field. The choice field contains some text options (of course).
I know that there is an option like here [ Default values for symfony2 choice radio box ] to define the possible values within the form type by giving an array.
But I do not want to iterate over my array collection within the form builder when I can avoid that. Because the collection is not just an array of strings but it is a collection of an entity (with a __toString() function so that I can get a textual representation for each of it).
Is there a way to render a radio field instead of the default dropdown choice field within the twig teamplate? Or by giving a special option to the form builder (without a loop)?
If you need to display a entity field using radios instead of select, you just have to set the expanded attribute to true:
$builder->add('post', 'entity', ['expanded' => true]);
If you also add the multiple attribute, you have a set of checkboxes instead.

Popup window for complex structured data in an extjs form field

I need to build the following form field. Let's take the case where in a form I have multiple fields. Two of them are "last name" and "first name". Instead of the classic way when these field will show seperatley I want a single fields thatt shows when completed like a text field with value a concatenqtion of e two values ( ie "michael jackson"). When I click on the field an window (like a picker date) will popup haing a form with the two fields.
Unfortunately i do not know where to start from:
what class should I derive
how should I store the value in the form ( two hidden values or just a serialized value of the fields).
I might have complex structure with 5-6 fields in this picker popup.
I would extend Ext.form.field.Picker. In the createPicker() method you can crate whatever combination of fields an components that you want.
Re: storage of data, I'd serialze the values in the one field. Then you can treat reads and commits in the same way (and you can always manipulate the data later.
Here's an example that I did a while back: jsfiddle.net/existdissolve/wMcQk/

Copy value formula from one field to another in different forms - LOTUS NOTES

Is it possible to assign to a field from a form a value stored in a field on a different form? Eg: txt_Name is on form_MAIN and txt_LastName is on form_SECOND.
I tried: ( on the Window Title on the form_MAIN ) ( the field "text_uniqueid" contains #Text(#DocumentUniqueId)
FIELD OldOrderNumber := #GetField("text_uniqueid");
and then I wanted to see if I can see the variable's value on the second_FORM:
#Prompt([Ok];"title";OldOrderNumber)
but the result is null.
In other words, what I want to do is: To copy the unique id of the main form to a field situated on the second form.
#GetField can only get values from the current document. To fetch a field value from another document you need to use #GetDocField and supply the UNID of the document you want to read from.
#GetDocField
Given the unique ID of a document, returns the contents of a specific
field on that document. The document must reside in the current
database.
Syntax
#GetDocField( documentUNID ; fieldName )

Display on a view fields values from different forms - Lotus Notes

I have a main form which contain an embedded view. This embedded view is displaying field values that exist in another form. How can i display fields that are in the main form and fields that are in the other form on the same ordinary view?
Firstly, your View Selection formula needs to select documents created with both forms
SELECT Form = "Main" | Form = "Other"
or you can use a short-hand version
SELECT Form = "Main":"Other"
Then you need to enter a conditional formula in the column where you want to display values from documents created with both forms
#IF(Form = "Main" ; FieldName1 ; Form = "Other" ; FieldName2 ; "")
although, as only those two forms are permitted, you can shorten that too
#If(Form = "Main"; FieldName1 ; FieldName2)
Hope this helps,
Phil
You could emulate the view in a rich text field, using the technique I describe here:
http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/texasswede/entry/dynamictables
You need to modify the code to get both your "main" document and your "other" document, and combine them together into one row. This way you can display values from different documents (even one "main" and multiple "other" documents).
It would work something like this:
Create temp document with rich text field.
Get the first "main" document and "other" document(s) associated with it (doc.Responses if they are child documents).
Create a new document using the row template form, and put values into the different fields.
Render the new row document into the rich text field on the temp document.
Repeate above steps for each main document.
If you only have values from one other document displayed on the main form, there's no need to use an embedded view to display the values. You could use computed text to display the values from the second document along with values from the main document.
If you need to view multiple documents and want to include values from the main document in the embedded view on the same lines as the other documents, I would recommend having the values from the main document be stored on those other documents, rather than trying to put the other document data on the main form (since there would be multiple other documents, requiring multiple field values on the main).
That said, if the field values are already on the main form, why do you need to display them a second time on those lines in the embedded view? After all, it would repeat the same value on every line in that column.
Visualize it in sql format:
Form A:
EmpNum | Name
Form B:
Name | Project
Can I have something like this in Lotus Notes:
SELECT *
FROM Form A, Form B
WHERE Form A.Name = Form B.Name
