H5 script - Number of custom fields on a screen

adebal

Hi everyone,

In CRS111, on smartOffice, I have a script, that displays 6 additional fields.

I use a loop to generate those fields.

Now I am trying to "translate" this script on H5. But I only have 4 fields showing.

While working in the console, I can see that my loop is working.

Is there a property to change to display more fields ?

Thank you in advance for your help

I am not aware of any limitations. But a thing that has tricked me is if a script field is placed somewhere under a M3 label field. Could be a description label with length of 60 chars, with only 5 "real" characters and 55 blanks. Then the space after the 5 characters seems to be available. But they aren't. They will cover any script field. You will either have to move the script field or play with the z-index property to bring it forward,

Hi,

Thank you for your help, but I put one field per line. I think there is something else wrong.
Otherwise I will not have 4 correct lines.

I don't think there is a limit on how many fields you can add to a panel. I think the missing fields are placed on an area on the panel which is not available. Try moving these fields around to other parts of the panel to identify the boundaries of the area which you can use.

Hi DaHen,

I modified the script to only create one textbox.

When I place it on line 10, it appears, on the other hand if I put it on line 11, it disappears

myTextBox.row = 10;

Yet there is still space on the screen.

Create Custom Fields on CMS080

On panels put them by javascript and not using H5 panel option " custom fields".

what are the names of fields added by custom fields? they don't have the usual advanced show field info option

use developer tools in your browser to check the name of the element. When I look, it seems the name of the field is udf_textbox_10_40 where 10_40 is the placement on the panel. I guess the textbox part is also different depending on the field type.

Yeah my problem with this is that if they start moving the field then the script won't work anymore. In the sample there is a script that can download the XML data of the panel but even there the custom fields label and name are not displayed.
