Passing Multiple Choice values in Related Items

[metrovan]

Hi,

I've set up a related items edit form. In my javascript I have:

fd.updateDroppedDocuments('.related-docs', {
Tags: fd.field('Tags').value(),
ShortDescription: fd.field('ShortDescription').value(),
Location: fd.field('Location').value(),
Photographer: fd.field('Photographer').value(),
Title: fd.field('Title').value()
});

I have 2 lists (a custom list, and a document library list), both have Tags with identical multiple choice values. I can pass over the Title, Location, Photographer fields over to document library fine, but Tags is blank and not checked.



How can I pass the Tags over to the document library list?

Hi,

What's the type of Tags field? - Choice with checkboxes?

Hi Dmitry,

Yes, its choice with checkboxes.

Hi,

Please, try this:

Code: Select all

fd.updateDroppedDocuments('.related-docs', {
Tags: fd.field('Tags').control()._el()
			.find('input:checked')
			.map(function(){ return $(this).parent().find('label').text() })
			.get()
			.join('; '),
ShortDescription: fd.field('ShortDescription').value(),
Location: fd.field('Location').value(),
Photographer: fd.field('Photographer').value(),
Title: fd.field('Title').value()
});

Hi Dimitry,

That worked, partially.



The values are seen in the display form. Example: Beauty; Events



But when I edit the item, nothing is checked in tags checkboxes.

This is the display form of my related item, Tags have the correct values updated from the other list.


When clicking on Edit, the Tags checkboxes are not selected.

You're right, my mistake. The code must be:

Code: Select all

fd.updateDroppedDocuments('.related-docs', {
Tags: fd.field('Tags').control()._el()
			.find('input:checked')
			.map(function(){ return $(this).parent().find('label').text() })
			.get()
			.join(';#'),
ShortDescription: fd.field('ShortDescription').value(),
Location: fd.field('Location').value(),
Photographer: fd.field('Photographer').value(),
Title: fd.field('Title').value()
});

Use ;# as a separator of the selected options.

that works perfect. Thanks!
