Question

Autofill Button Only Required if There are 2 Conditions?

Forms Version 10

Updated March 12, 2017

asked on March 3, 2017

I was doing some training on Forms the other week and having users create their own forms and setting up database lookups. We discovered that even though the users were using at least 2 conditions for the lookup, not all of them were seeing the autofill button. We later discovered that the autofill button only showed if there were 2 conditions. If we added a 3rd condition the button was not presented. Is there a reason why it can't be hidden automatically without using JavaScript and CSS just like it is if there are more than 2 conditions?

Hi Blake,

You are correct that the autofill will be appeared only if there are more than 1 condition on the lookup is available and the autofill will appear next to the last condition or field with larger ID. ID is generate by Laserfiche Forms in an automate sequence.

You can use JavaScript to hide the Autofill button and trigger the autofill button onblur on the last field of lookup condition.

The auto fill button should always appear when you have more than 2 conditions. The reason is when there are more than 2 conditions, we are not sure when do you want to fill the result fields: should the result be filled when you change condition 1 or condition 2 or no matter you change condition 1 or condition 2, so we let the user decide when do they want to fill the result by click the "Auto fill" button.

I can't reproduce the issue that "If we added a 3rd condition the button was not presented", if you, can you share how did you configure the rules, is the condition field used in another rules as condition or fill field?

@████████, the forms in question have 4 sets of lookup rules.

Fill in a location field to select from a drop down list.
When Location matches, Fill Last Name field.
When Location and Last Name matches, fill in First Name field.
When Location, Last Name, and First Name matches, fill in Position Number.

I checked with 10.2.0.834(with Forms 10.2 update 1), still can't reproduce. Can you please open an support case by providing the process in question.
