Checkout: Update fields when a specific field has changed

January 17, 2019 at 8:00 AM

Hi @ll, I have another question about AP, PowerShell web services and field contents. As in the last post, it's about a PowerShell Web service that provides appropriate information to the AP based on the computer name. The table shows the simplified mapping, based on the first two digits of the computer name. Name pattern eMail Subject DW* service_center_ws@xyz.com Software Installation - Workstation DS* service_center_srv@xyz.com Software Installation - Server PG* service_center_lap@xyz.com Software Installation - PGTW The computer name is automatically determined and filled by the AP during checkout. I also pass the computer object on to the PowerShell web service and receive the corresponding contents for e-mail and subject. However, it happens that an authorised user has to place an order for other users (group leader or secretary). This user then selects the other user's computer, but unfortunately the selection does not change the other two fields. Is there a way to store a kind of "auto update" function for fields? Thanks, Dennis

Hey Dennis, the update function is automatically included :-) It actually depends on what you define as input parameters for your parameter / webservice. In my example, I have defined a "param1" that simply referencess to the Requesting User (which is the parameter "MailToUserId" in the email notification Activity). This will be also presented in the checkout form with a little eye symbol right of the field: If you click onto the eye the referenced parameter will be highlighted. So you simply need to find the proper reference to activate your "auto update". Hope this helps, Axel

Hi ‌, Thanks for the tip with the reference to Requesting User (which is the parameter "MailToUserId" in the email notification Activity). I always referred directly to the "Named Attribute" and of course there is no dependency between the single fields. Best, Dennis
