I want my "Create" button to insert a row on a table and once inserted to update that row. The reason I need to insert that row first and then update is because some columns that I want to update depend on the value being there in the first place. For example I would like to update the "Gross Margin" column but the "Gross Margin" = Payrate + something else. If I don't have the value in "Payrate" column, well there is no way I can update "Gross Margin" since it depends on it.
What I have tried:
) Create a Dynamic Action that triggers if "create" button is clicked. If its clicked is true then run the 2 true actions of type "Execute server side code" which is the Insert statement and the other is the Update statement. I made sure that Insert has the first sequence(It runs first) then the update(It runs second). Please see below picture of the settings of the "Create" button.
Please see below picture of the settings of the "Dynamic action"
See below settings of the "Insert Action"
Below settings of the "Update Action"
2.) I have also tried by creating a "Process" that is binded to the "Create" button when clicked but it did not worked.
I am open to all suggestions and thank you in advance!
I created a workspace on apex.oracle.com to illustrate my answer:
workspace: SO_HELP, username: so_68399404, pwd: so_68399404
App 22384 (Demonstration - EMP / DEPT) is an app generated on the standard emp/dept sample dataset. In the report "Employees", there is a "create" button but employees can also be edited with the edit icon. Both the "create" button and the "edit" link point to the same form (page 4). The salary is depends on the job. If the job is MANAGER then salary is set to 5000 else salary is increased by 1. Similar to your requirement. I did this with an after submit computation with code
CASE WHEN :P4_JOB = 'MANAGER' THEN 5000 ELSE :P4_SAL + 1 END
No other code needed. No dynamic actions, no custom processes. All updates are handled by the process of type "Automatic Row Processing - DML". Login with the credentials above and have a look. If it is not what you need, please explain exactly what is different in this app - or create a new form/report on that data to illustrate your issue.
May I suggest you ask your questions this way ? Extract your problem out of your code and illustrate it with the sample dataset. No one knows your actual data, everyone knows the emp/dept schema. That can avoid endless discussions in the comments.

I have a problem using a dynamic action refresh in an interactive grid.
I have a field of type popup lov, when I choose one of the items in the list, I am performing a query to fill a collection, and then I do a refresh with a dynamic action, so that the data is reflected in the grid.
But at the moment of doing it, this happens with the field:

and in the console it shows me the following:

I hope to have your help, thank you very much.
I want to have a condition where IF Delivered column checkbox is checked, then that whole row will be deleted. Is that feasible?
How can I start with it?
Formulas can't change the condition of an item (like a row), only the value in a cell. So, in other words, you can't delete a row with a formula.
You "could" do this with an external script using the Smartsheet API, but you'll want to take situations that #Ken White mentioned in the comments into account. Your script should make sure that there is a way for users to recover the deleted row if the box is checked by mistake.
There are a couple of ways this might be possible. If you set up a default filter on a sheet to always load rows where complete box is unchecked, then, if you checked off a task or two and reloaded the sheet those tasks would not be visible the next time it loads.
To do this:
Create a new filter.
Title it and check the Share Filter checkbox
Set the criteria to the checkbox is unchecked
Then click okay
Save the sheet to save the shared filter.
Click on SHARE
Scroll down and click edit next to the default view
Set the filter to new filter you saved
Save.
Check off some boxes and save the sheet.
Reload the sheet and the completed items will not be visible.
History, I am an experienced PL/SQL dev learning to use Apex and struggling with some of the concepts. Before working with PL/SQL I worked with various platforms including Delphi and VB.
Problem, how to pick up the value set in component from another component. The object of the exercise is to make the report in an interactive grid change dependant on a value selected in a drop down, the value in the drop down being in the where clause as a bind var. My original setup for this did not work. After various experiments with this I produced this test case where the object is for the label to display the value selected in the drop down:-
Page view
P300_SELECT (left) is a simple drop down, unmodified with the default values. P300_SELECTED_VALUE is a label set to display the value in P300_SELECT:-
Component setup
This does not work! And it continues not to work when I change the source setup of the label to be STATIC VALUE and set the value to &P300_SELECT.
I have also tried adding a CHANGE dynamic action on the drop down to call refresh on the label, it still does not work! In desperation to confirm that the value was indeed changing for the drop down I added a second true action to the change event executing the following javascript:
apex.message.alert($v("P300_SELECT"));
Sure enough, this works showing that the event is firing and that the value is correct:-
Label no change, but alert message works...
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Why does the label not update even with a refresh called on it?
What do I have to do to make this work?
Thanks in advance for your help!

To do this
1 - Create one dynamic action to start when you change the value of P300_SELECT.
2 - Now there is a lot of ways to do this step, but I will sugest to do in this way. Create one true action in this dynamic action, this true action is "Execute PL/SQL code". The code is:
BEGIN
:P300_SELECTED_VALUE := :P300_SELECT;
END
In this true action put the item P300_SELECT in the field "Items to submit". And the item P300_SELECTED_VALUE in "Items to Return".
3 - Now create one more true action in this same dynamic action. This true action is "Refresh" and select the region of your report/IG.
***If the item P300_SELECTED_VALUE is just to test, so discard the first true action above and fill the field next of your select statement "Page items to submit" with the item P300_SELECT.
Why what you have try don't work?
1 - The source section is used to set the value when the page is loaded, this setup not affect changes after the page is loaded.
2 - The report is not refreshed because the item is not in the session after you change it.

I am trying to do a very simple "Research" tool in Apex.
What i did so far is
Created a textbox
Created a button with the attribute /Always submit page when enter pressed/
Wrote this query in the report page - Source - Source region
-
"select NO, TITRE_CONFER, NO_CONFCIER, NO_FILM FROM S4_CON_VRAI
where titre_confer like '%' || :px_2 || '%'"
This is pretty much a table with conferences that are either taught with a film or a person. I am looking to filter the TITLE of the conference. px_2 is my textfield.
So, if you enter any letter, it should filter with the right title.
The problem is that whenever i click GO, nothing happens. He still shows me the whole list.
The step and query i wrote are 100% functionnal.
The actual problem was that I had wrote :px_2 but it was :p2_x.
i have actually use form code to auto-generate information and etc.
I was wondering if i can implement the "track inventory qunatity" using dynamic generated buttons , just like in the website?
If this is not possible, how do i actually counter check with my own item quantity everytime a user press "add to cart" and it will minus off 1 quantity from my database.
And when they cancel the checkout , i would get the "-ed 1" back to my database?
Thanks alot, this is my first time working with paypal and have totally no clue
you would most likely handle that in your database with a stored procedure
