I have a drop down text box on a customized form.
As of now it shows a huge listing of values that the user can select.
I would like to have them only see certain values (let's say 5 of them).
Does anyone know how I can hardcode these values such that they are all the user will see?
Thanks in advance

Are the values hard coded in Design Studio or are they populated on the bak end and sent to the form? Will the 5 values vary based on the user or will they be the same 5 values for everyone?

Hi Randy, As of right now they are populated from the backend ... They will be the same for everyone ... All I want to do is take 5 "values" from the pre-populated list and present them to the users ... Thanks

If you only want 5 records to select from on your ListBox, you can either hard code them (Properties) or you can add them via a script. You're loading the records into the ListBox so you control what gets loaded.

OK, you'll have to do it in two steps. Both should be in the FORM_OnAfterTransaction(data) function. The first step is to remove the existing values from the dropdown box. Replace "VALUES_l46" below with the field number of your dropdown list.
//Remove all values from the dropdown.
var myDropdown = lawForm.getElement("VALUES_l46");
while(myDropdown.hasChildNodes())
{
myDropdown.removeChild(myDropdown.childNodes.item(0));
}
Then you'll need to populate the dropdown with the new values:
// Create an array to hold the values you want to display.
var span = document.createElement("span");
// Populate the span:
span.setAttribute("text","");
// long description
span.setAttribute("tran","your first item value");
// transaction value
span.setAttribute("disp","your first item display);
// display value
myDropdown.appendChild(span);
span.setAttribute("text","");
// long description
span.setAttribute("tran","your second item value");
// transaction value
span.setAttribute("disp","your second item display);
// display value
myDropdown.appendChild(span);
// Repeat for your remaining 3 items.

Hi there ... Still runnning into some difficulties ... I probably should clarrify, this is a textbox with values that get displayed (PA52.1 --> Reason) .. Does that make a difference or should the same principles apply?

No, you need to delete the existing textbox and add a ListBox in order to limit to the 5 records you want. You will still need to set the ListBox to the correct data source.
