I'm using Oracle Apex 4.2. I have a select list and a text field. I'm trying to create a dynamic action that should be simple enough but I'm not sure how to do it. Basically depending on what value the user selects from the list of values in the select list, the text field should then be populated. So for example:
Let's say the select list gives the user the choice to select 'Animal', 'Car', 'Person'. If the user selects 'Animal' then the text field should immediately have the value 'cat'. If the user selects 'Car' then the text field should immediately have the value 'toyota'. If the user selects 'Person# then the text field should immediately have the value 'jim' etc.
How would I make this dynamic action?
Thanks,
Stephen.
Create a New Dynamic Action with the following properties
Main Properties
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item
Item(s): [Select List]
Condition: No Condition
True Action
Action: Execute PL/SQL code
Fire When event Result is: True
PL/SQL Code:
Option 1 - use a lookup table
select LOOKUP_VALUE
into :P1_TEXT
from LOOKUP_TABLE
where original_value = :P1_SELECT_LIST;
Option 2 - Use hardcoded values
CASE upper(:P1_SELECT_LIST)
WHEN 'ANIMAL' THEN :P1_TEXT := 'cat';
WHEN 'CAR' THEN :P1_TEXT := 'toyota';
WHEN 'PERSON' THEN :P1_TEXT := 'jim';
ELSE :P1_TEXT := null;
END CASE;
Page Items to Submit: [P1_SELECT_LIST]
Page Items to Return [P1_TEXT]

I have a Select list filter on the top of the page. I want its return value to get into any column which I create in IG report automatic DML process.
Suppose, Select list has a value "Step", when I add a row in IG report, that value should be saved into DB for one column which is hidden on UI.
I tried but sometimes it stores the value which I selected in Select list item as my last selection not the current one. Do I need to create Application item for this? Please help. TIA
In this case there is a table ig_tickes with a status column. On the page there is a page item P131_STATUS (select list) with values "OPEN" and "CLOSED". There is an interactive grid on table ig_tickets with column STATUS hidden. Functionality is that user selects a value from the select list and then clicks "Add Row".
Give the interactive grid a static id of "tickets"
Create a dynamic action on change of P131_STATUS with a true action of type "execute javascript code" and code:
var model = apex.region("tickets").call("getViews").grid.model;
model.getOption("fields").STATUS.defaultValue = apex.item( "P131_STATUS" ).getValue();
That's all there is to it.
I have a scenario where I am stuck not getting how do I proceed with it.
Created a LOV -> which holds below values
A-A
A-B
A-C
A-D
I have set the property of LOV item -> Multiple and Separator given : ,
When I select 1st, 2nd & 4th value it should be automatically displayed in my textbox in comma separated format like following : A-A,A-B,A-D
Any solution is much appreciated !!!
Suppose you have a select list item named P92_LOV and a text field page item named P92_TEXTFIELD.
Create a dynamic action on change of P92_LOV
Add a true action
Identification > Action: Set Value
Settings > Set Type: PL/SQL Function Body
Settings > PL/SQL Function Body:
RETURN :P92_LOV;
Settings > Items to Submit: P92_LOV
Affected Elements > Selection Type: Item(s)
Affected Elements > Items(s): P92_TEXTFIELD
Try it out, whenever you select/unselect a value in the select list, the value in the checkbox will change accordingly.
I have a form with items P1_APP and P1_USER.
P.S. P1_USER is select list.
Display John
Return 1
Display Andy
Return 2
I need to disable when user selects John.
When P1_USER = 'John', P1_APP should get disabled which is a multi select list.
I created dynamic action on P1_APP, True Action= Disable,Affected element P1_APP
Client condition : Item =Value
Item= P1_USER
Value= John
However this is not working.
I have used similar logic to disable interactive grid items and was able to do so. Why is this not working for form?
EDIT: In Value now i am putting 1 which is return value for John.
However when i select John. It disables P1_App upon clicking. But remains disabled even when i choose Andy.
This works for me using the following configuration.
Create form and report on EMP - everyone has access to that sample data, it is a good idea to post questions based on that.
In the form P3_DEPTNO is a select list with source
SELECT d.dname, d.deptno FROM dept d
Add a page item to my form P3_APP. This is a select list with "Allow multi selection" enabled. Select list has 2 static values.
Create a dynamic action on change of P3_DEPTNO.
Client side condition: Item = Value
Item: P3_DEPTNO
Value: 30 (note that this is the return value for SALES, not display value)
add true action of "Disable", affected item P3_APP
Click true action and select "Create Opposite Action". Save.
When I run this it work. Selecting SALES in the select list disables the item P3_APP and selecting something else enables it.
I have an item to enter email id, and two more items to get the values of first/last name and department of that user which we have given without refresh the page or without enter.
Item 1: ex : a...z#gmail.com (text field)
Item 2 : ex Mechanical (display only)
Item 3 : ex Abinnaya Moorthy (display only)
This should happen when we have given the email id and as soon as the cursor is out from email id the two item values should display.
I have used dynamic action but not getting exact output, please let me know.
On Item 1 make a following dynamic action:
Event: Change (I would recommend 'change', although based on your question, you might also be interested in 'Mouse Leave', although it would trigger DA even when no change in item value occurred, for example when someone just clicked on it and clicked away)
Selection Type: Item
Item: your Item 1
First true action: Execute PL/SQL Code
inserting values into your items Item 2 and Item 3, while using your Item 1 as a condition in WHERE clause
Page Items to Submit: your Item 1
Page Items to Return: your items Item 2 and Item 3
Second true action: Refresh
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): your items Item1 and Item2
Let's say I have 1 field like an email field above. Then I have 50 display only fields that values are coming from (Source) SQL queries that depends on email field. How to refresh this fields without refreshing page, but also without Setting its value manually? I would only like to trigger them to perform their Source SQL query and refresh values on the page.
Setting their values by SetValue action will result in having same queries in Dynamic Action and in Source SQL Query for each field. Also for 50 fields DA would have hundreds of SQL lines and would become not maintainable.
assuming you are working on page 9, and the email field is :P9_EMAIL_ITEM, and the name fields are :P9_FNAME_ITEM and :P9_LNAME_ITEM
The email field is a text field (it doesn't matter what the source is)
The name fields should be display only, and in properties the setting "Based On" should be "Page Item Value", set the source property to type Null.
On the email text field, create a new dynamic action, set the When properties to: Event -> Change, Selection Type -> Item(s), Item(s) -> P9_EMAIL_ITEM
Under the dynamic actions you'll have a "New" event, with a "True" folder, and inside it a new action (probably "Show"). Change its action to "Set Value".
change the setting property so that "Set Type" will be "SQL statement", and write a statement with the following structure:
select FNAME_COLUMN, LNAME_COLUMN
from RELEVANT_TABLE
where EMAIL_COLUMN = :P9_EMAIL_ITEM
Under "Items to submit" select the P9_EMAIL_ITEM.
in the Affected Elements properties set Selection type -> Item(s) and Item(s) -> P9_FNAME_ITEM, P9_LNAME_ITEM
In "Execution Options" select NO for Fire on Initialization
what we did on step 5 is "refreshing" the relevant items, without refreshing the page
I just tested it out and here's what works very well:
On Item 1, create a DA on 'Loose Focus'
Create two true actions for 'Set Value', for both Item 2 and Item 3.
Select Settings > Set Type as SQL Statement.
Write query to fetch item 2 and item 3, base on item 1 (I suggest comparing lower cases of both to make it case in-sensitive.)
Items to Submit -> Item 1
And viola, it's done!
I'm learning APEX 5
I have a control named X_CONTROL, where I want to populate his content with an SQL query.
To do that, I need the ID primary key from a table, which should be the ID of the row selected on a Select List control named MY_LIST_CONTROL.
MY_LIST_CONTROL has a list of values taken from a column of the table "MyTable", which is not the ID primary key.
I tried to populate X_CONTROL with this SQL
Select ID from MyTable where ColumnName=:MY_LIST_CONTROL
It doesn't work, and should not work because ColumnName is not "unique", like ID is.
So, the question is, how do I recover, with SQL, the ID of the selected row which correspond to the selected value in MY_LIST_CONTROL.
It should be SQL, because APEX 5 demands an SQL query to populate the X_CONTROL.
I have set up a simple example here on apex.oracle.com:
Whenever a Department is selected (item P32_DEPTNO), its Location is copied into the second item (P32_LOC).
This is done by a dynamic action on P32_DEPTNO defined as follows:
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P32_DEPTNO
TRUE Action:
Action: Set Value
Set Type: SQL Statement
SQL Statement:
select loc
from dept
where deptno = :P32_DEPTNO
Items to Submit: P32_DEPTNO
