LPL Question - class field value on a form

patrick-domond

I have two class fields on a form: trying to assign a value of one based on the selected value of the other one and my code is not working....

when WorkType = "TEMPORARY"
       ReasonForOpening = "MSP TEMP"

any ideas....Thanks

See page 80 of the latest LPL Configuration Console Reference. The when clause on a form needs to come subordinate to/indented/after the variable assignment, and it needs to be a "simple condition" (and WorkType = "TEMPORARY" doesn't meet the criteria to be a simple condition). The particulars of what constitutes a simple condition are on page 66, but in short, a user defined condition will fit the bill for a simple condition, so first, define a new user defined condition field:

WorkTypeIsTemporary
    when (WorkType = "TEMPORARY")

And then use it on your form like so:

WorkType
    required
    when value changed
        ReasonForOpening = "MSP TEMP"
            when (WorkTypeIsTemporary)
