I’m struggling to obtain the new value that is being set in an editable Interactive Grid. I’ve created a dynamic action to be fired when the column has changed. The dynamic action is firing as expected, but it’s returning the previous value and not the value that triggered the event.
The dynamic action is set to execute JavaScript:
var $te = $(this.triggeringElement);
var rowID = $te.closest('tr').data('id');
var grid = apex.region('IG_SCALE_1').call('getViews','grid');
var model = grid.model;
var record = model.getRecord(rowID);
var column_val = model.getValue(record,”COLUMN_1”);
apex.item(“P1_HIDDEN_1”).setValue(column_val);
Let’s say column_1 had a value of 0 and that value was changed to 1. The code is setting the hidden item’s value to 0. I need it to be set to 1.
When I execute the following code I can see the old value in the array.
console.log(record);
Is there anything that I can do to obtain the new value?
Many thanks.. let me know if you have any questions!

I need help creating a link in Oracle APEX.
I have two Interactive Report pages created in Oracle APEX.
The first page is an Interactive Report for a list of cats. When clicking on that link, filter the second page's Interactive Report by the "fur color" column. Furthermore, I want to always be "white" in addition to the color of the selected row.
I try 2 types of methods to create a link in Link Builder.
Name = IR_FUR_COLOR, Value = &P18_FUR_COLOR. and more one line Value = White
Name = IR_FUR_COLOR, Value = &P18_FUR_COLOR.,White
But they did not work.
How should I do it? Does anyone help me?
Thank you for watching this question!
Link Builder should contain only
Name: IR_FUR_COLOR, Value: &P18_FUR_COLOR
Modify the second Interactive Report's query so that its where clause looks like this:
where fur_color in ('white', :IR_FUR_COLOR)
which means that it'll always filter white color, along with any color you pass from the previous page.
There are variations to that approach; for example, you could create another (hidden) item on the 2nd page and pass white to it and then
where fur_color in (:HIDDEN_FUR_COLOR, :IR_FUR_COLOR)
I am using Oracle Apex 18.2.
I have an interactive grid and a custom button to add a new row to the IG using,
apex.region("myRegionStaticId").widget().interactiveGrid('getActions').invoke('row-add-row'); then set a column's value using, $s("myColumnStaticId","2");. When I try it, it adds the first row without setting any columns' values and starts setting the value from the second row on. Even using selection-add-row or insert-record, there is always something with the first row. Here is a sample,
[https://apex.oracle.com][1]
ws = ESLAM_WS
user = forhelp
pwd = forhelppwd
app = TEST
page = Add Row on top of an IG.
After a lot of talking and testing, I've found that $s with setTimeout isn't very reliable. I've set up page 7 again to demonstrate.
If you click the Rowaddrow button twice in rapid succession (the second time before the first setValue returns), the second row will not be initialized. I'll show you a workaround for this below, but you'll
If you lower the setTimeout to, say, 10 ms, and try focusing in the Expiry Date column before clicking the Rowaddrow button, you'll find it doesn't work. This means that, while the setTimeout of 100 ms works now, it could break in the future if the IGs internal logic changed. Unlikely but who knows.
For the moment, I would say that $s can only be reliably used to set a column value in an IG for the active row. When the row-add-row action adds a new record, it does make it active, but that is done asynchronously via setTimeout. This is because the IG is based on the flyweight pattern and there are a number of async (setTimeout based) heuristics that are built in to handle focus and blur events to correctly enable and disable rows and cells as needed.
I've found the following to be the most reliable solution. Unfortunately, it's more complex than what you had before - but it was the only way I could wrangle it all together. Feel free to use it or not. See page 8 for an example.
Right-click the custom Rowaddrow button and select Create Dynamic Action. Set the Name of the DA to rowAddRow button clicked. The When settings will automatically be configured for the click event on the button.
Select the action for the new DA. Set Action to Execute JavaScript and enter the following JavaScript in the Code attribute.
addRowClicked = true; // Global used to distinguish custom button click
this.triggeringElement.disabled = true; // Disable button to serialize access
apex.region("KITCHEN_SHARE_DTL").widget().interactiveGrid("getActions").invoke("row-add-row");
Create a new Dynamic Action and set the Name to New row initialized. In the When section, set Event to Row Initialization [Interactive Grid], Section Type to Region, and Region to KITCHEN_SHARE_DTL.
Under Client-Side Condition, set Type to JavaScript expression and enter the following code in JavaScript Expression (which ensures the DA only fires for the click of the Rowaddrow button):
addRowClicked === true
Select the action for the new DA. Set Action to Set Value, Set Type to Static Assignment, and Value to 2. In Affected Elements, set Section Type to Column(s) and Column(s) to INGREDIENT_ID. This will replace the static assignment that was being done with $s. Ensure that Fire on Initialization is disabled.
Right-click the True branch for the DA and select Create TRUE Action. Set the Action to Set Value, Set Type to SQL Statement, and enter the following code in SQL Statement:
select MIN(EXPIRY_DATE) from stock
where ingredient_id = TO_NUMBER(:INGREDIENT_ID);
Set Items to Submit to INGREDIENT_ID and disable Escape Special Characters. In Affected Elements, set Selection Type to Column(s) and Column(s) to EXPIRY_DATE. Ensure that Fire on Initialization is disabled.
Right-click the True branch for the DA and select Create TRUE Action. Set Action to Execute JavaScript Code and enter the following JavaScript in the Code attribute.
addRowClicked = false; // Unset the global
$x('ADD').disabled = false; // Enable the button
Change the following code:
$s("INGREDIENT_ID","2");
with the following one:
setTimeout(function(){ $s("INGREDIENT_ID","2"); }, 100);
It seems that the IG needs a little time to render the new row before you are able to change any value.
History, I am an experienced PL/SQL dev learning to use Apex and struggling with some of the concepts. Before working with PL/SQL I worked with various platforms including Delphi and VB.
Problem, how to pick up the value set in component from another component. The object of the exercise is to make the report in an interactive grid change dependant on a value selected in a drop down, the value in the drop down being in the where clause as a bind var. My original setup for this did not work. After various experiments with this I produced this test case where the object is for the label to display the value selected in the drop down:-
Page view
P300_SELECT (left) is a simple drop down, unmodified with the default values. P300_SELECTED_VALUE is a label set to display the value in P300_SELECT:-
Component setup
This does not work! And it continues not to work when I change the source setup of the label to be STATIC VALUE and set the value to &P300_SELECT.
I have also tried adding a CHANGE dynamic action on the drop down to call refresh on the label, it still does not work! In desperation to confirm that the value was indeed changing for the drop down I added a second true action to the change event executing the following javascript:
apex.message.alert($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!
Bob
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.

Use this workspace to check something:

I am trying to increase a field number whenever a new row is added to my table. First I created a variable lastItem specified as a Record with Subtype to my Table. Now I created the following Code on the OnInsert() trigger:
lastItem.FINDLAST;
ItemNo := lastItem.ItemNo + 10;
The above code seems not to work on the OnInsert() trigger but works for one row when I enter it on the ItemNo - OnValidate() trigger.
Any ideas how to get an increasing Number on every new row in my table?
Are you sure that's Dynamics CRM? The code is a Dynamics NAV C/AL code and you talking about the Item table? In this case let NAV to give you the next number from the No. Series properly.
You can use the same approach in any other table : related pattern
You should stay away from doing direct SQL updates and adding triggers to the DB when using Dynamics CRM as it's not supported.
The appropriate way would be to use a plug-in which reads the last value and then does the increment. You'd would register this to run when a new record is created in the system.
You can find some example source code on this CodePlex project: CRM 2011 Autonumbering Solution
You should use the property autoincrement of the field. In this way you increment the field one on one in every row.
I am working with a Google Motion Chart with has a play button and slider at the bottom that animates the chart. I would like to set the time unit/steps used by the slider. The default seems to be a day ("D").
My drawChart method sets the initial state and I tried setting the timeUnit to "M" - "duration":{"multiplier":1,"timeUnit":"M"} - for month but this did not change anything. I could not find any documentation on possible settings for the initial state variables.
Below is my method which sets the state:
function drawChart(data) {
var evalObj = eval("(" + data + ")");
var dataTbl = new google.visualization.DataTable(evalObj);
var motionchart = new google.visualization.MotionChart(document.getElementById('chart'));
var options = {};
options['state'] =
'{"iconKeySettings":[],"stateVersion":3,"time":"notime","xAxisOption":"_NOTHING","playDuration":15,
"iconType":"BUBBLE","sizeOption":"_UNISIZE","xZoomedDataMin":null,
"xZoomedIn":false, "duration":{"multiplier":1,"timeUnit":"M"},"yZoomedDataMin":null,"xLambda":1,"colorOption":"_UNIQUE_COLOR",
"nonSelectedAlpha":0.4,"dimensions":{"iconDimensions": []},"yZoomedIn":false,"yAxisOption":"_NOTHING","yLambda":1,"yZoomedDataMax":null,
"showTrails":false,"xZoomedDataMax":null};';
options['width'] = 800;
options['height'] = 400;
motionchart.draw(dataTbl, options);
}
Is "M" the setting for month? How do I change the slider to use months instead of days for its steps?
The documentation says:
The second column must contain time values. Time can be expressed in any of the following formats:
Year - Column type: 'number'. Example: 2008.
Month, day and year - Column type: 'date'; values should be javascript Date instances.
Week number- Column type: 'string'; values should use the pattern YYYYWww, which conforms to ISO 8601. Example: '2008W03'.
Quarter - Column type: 'string'; the values should have the pattern YYYYQq, which conforms to ISO 8601. Example: '2008Q3'.
Reading another thread, it looks like Google is throwing this in the trash and are not going to be enhancing the time units.
Try this.
You can specify that the motion chart start with a specific state: that is, a set of selected entities and view customizations. To do this, you'll need to first create and display the chart, then make any state changes that you want the chart to show (select values, change settings, etc), then export these settings as a string, and finally use this string in your code, assigning it to the "state" option. The next two sections describe how to export and then use the state code.
Open a working chart and set the settings that you'd like to capture. Settings you can specify include opacity levels, zooming, and log vs linear scaling.
Open the Settings panel by clicking the wrench symbol in the lower right corner of the chart.
Click the Advanced link in the lower left corner to add the Advanced panel to the set.
Expand the Advanced panel and copy the contents of the State text box to your clipboard. (Note: instead of using the menu, described in steps 2—4, you could insert a button on your page that calls getState() and displays the current state in a message box.)
Assign the state string that you copied in the previous step to the "state" options parameter in your code, as shown here. When passed into the draw() method, the chart will be initialized to the state specified on startup.
