Code / Description
A button macro on the Main Document to compose a new response has the following formula: A button macro on the Main Document to compose a new response has the following formula:
@Environment("MDVar"; MDField); Load Environment Variable with current value @Command([Compose]; ""; "Response") Compose Response Document
The field on the Response Document to be copied back has the following Input Translation formula:
@If(RField != ""; @Do(@Environment("MDVar"; RField); RField); RField)
Loads Environment Variable with value from
Response Document. You must set the field
to itself in both conditions of the @If or you lose
the original value entered.
A button on the Response Document to Save the response and refresh the Main Document goes as follows:
@SetField("Save1"; "1"); Sets a hidden field value @Command([FileSave]); Saves the Response Document @Command([FileCloseWindow]); Closes the Response Document @Command([EditDocument]; "1"); Puts the Main Doc in Edit Mode @Command([ViewRefreshFields]); Recalcs the computed fields @Command([FileSave]) Saves the Main Document
A hidden field on the Response Document has the following formula to prevent users from saving the document without pressing thte Save button.
@If(@IsDocBeingSaved; @If(Save1 = "0";
@Failure("Please press the Save Button to save this document"); @Success); @Success)
The default value is "0" and since it can only be
set to "1" by the Save button, a Failure will occur
if an attempt to save the document without the
button occurs.
Finally, on the Main Document, the field to be loaded from the Response is a Computed field with the following formula.
@If(MDField != @Environment("MDVar"); @Environment("MDVar"); MDField)
If the field is different from the Environment
variable, set the field to the Environment
variable, else set the field to itself.
