I want to assign a search help to a custom field. But the values to be shown in this value help are dependent on another standard field on the screen. So how can I pass this screen field value to the search help?
Could you please describe the exact scenario where you need this? Seeing the screen and understanding the relationship between the fields would help in identifying a solution.
I am in IW32 and have a standard field with search help for 'Damage Code'. In WebGUI/Personas, Damage Code search help responds too slow. When I select an entry in this search help and say 'Ok', it takes another second or two to respond. Basically this entire search help pop-up seems too slow to us.
So what we are planning is to have a new custom field and attach to it a new custom search help. But values in this search help needs to be dependent on Equipment number (Catalog profile linked to it). So this search help needs to take equipment number as input and give a set of damage codes. What do you think is the best approach?
After seeing your reply to another question on dynamic drop downs, I am thinking if that approach would suit us. We need to patch to SP03 though.
If you can upgrade to SP3, then I think I may be able to offer a scripted solution for you that's not perfect but should do the job. Let me try to finalize my prototype, and get back to you.
This will probably not work in SP2 though, unfortunately. And if you are already on SP3 then building a dropdown with an RFC may be an easier / cleaner solution. It depends on the actual search help and the dialog associated with the value selection what makes the most sense.
