Re: Portal - showing selected row beside portal

Show all headers | View raw

Hi.


I try this:

I add a field called Selected_Person_ID in a table Companies (type=number).

In a relationship graph I make a copy of a table Contact_persons and I 
called Selected_contact_person_from_portal.

I connect fields in relationship graph: Companies: Selected_Person_ID = 
Selected_contact_person_from_portal:ID_Person

I make a script in which I added:

Set Field:[ Selected_contact_person_from_portal:ID_Person; Companies: 
Selected_Person_ID]

Commitrecord/Request[No dialog]

So when I select a row in a portal and trigger a script, in additional field 
nothing happened (no change in for example "Department" field




With best regards

Zarulja
