Thushara it is a straight forward process.

You can create a seperate MBO only to fetch the particular field or you can get that particular value from other MBO.

Before going to the screen containing drop down you need to perform the online request then only the drop down will be filled with dynamic data.

Lets say you need to populate a list of emp names .

The names are in an MBO.

So before going to the screen which contains the drop down list you need to perform the online request to this MBO.

Then only CDB will be filled and the application  can fetch the emp names.

There is no functionality for the dropdown list to perform online request.

For the record, you don't necessarily need to have an additional screen. You can always create a custom action for that online request and invoke it through custom code at an appropriate time, such as when the screen opens.

Hi Midhun,

Thanks ..

Here you go.

Create a custom action with online request. ex: getorder

Generate mobile workflow.

Go to -workflow_jquerymobilelookandfeel.html find the funtion menuItemCallbackgetorder();

Copy the function add it in the custom.js file inside the method customBeforeShowScreen(screenToShow, screenToHide)

Ex:

if(screenToShow === "Details") {

                    menuItemCallbackgetorder();

                              return true;

                    }

Now whats happens is that before the screen opens the function will be called even without clicking the menu item.

I believe that this is the way David mentioned in his comment.

It depends on what version of SUP you are using.  If you are using a particularly old one, there are no custom actions and you'll need to create a regular menu item and then remove it dynamically at runtime so that it doesn't show up.  But if you have a relatively new version of SUP, there are custom actions which are similar to menu items, but have no corresponding UI, just the generated method in Workflow.js/HybridApp.js which you can then call from custom code.

Hi David ,

my SUP version is 2.1.0  .. how can i create custom action with the 2.1.0 version ..

i guess this is not a old version .. as per my knowledge 2.1.3 is the latest ..

Thushara

Since you are using verion 2.1.0 you cannot find a custom action in it.

So a quick solution is that, create a menu item (It will create a function similar to menuitem... as I mentioned in my earlier post) use the equivalent method generated in the custom.js.

And finally hide the menu item from the UI through the custom code in custom.js.

Hi Mithun,

I'm using SUP 2.2 for developing an Sale Order Creation HWC app. In one scenario, I have used an custom action menu button named Test with online request & deployed the workflow also. But after that, I couldnt see the function menuItemCallbackTest(); in the file workflow_jquerymobilelookandfeel.html.

I'm stuck now to proceed further. Kindly please help me out ASAP.

Right click and generate the workflow then only you will find the method inside.

Hi Midhun,

I already deployed the workflow but still couldnt able to figure out the Callbcak function in the workflow_jquerymobilelookandfeel.html file.

[midhun_vp · Accepted solution]

The naming convention you are searching for it wrong,

function menuItemCallbackTest(); The right naming convention is menuItemCallbackPurchase_OrdersRefresh(); // purchase_orders is the screen name. You missed the screen name and searching got it.

Search for Test and find what is the function name.

Hi Midhun,

I got your point & tried the same but still no hope..

The custom action I used is Testing in the screen Header Details & I deployed the same also.

And now I searched for the function menuCallBackHeader_DetailsTesting() in the workflow_jquerymobilelookandfeel.html file. But still I couldnt able to figure out that function.

Where I went wrong?? Pls Advice ASAP.

Hi Midhun,

I got the output finally

Thanks for your support, hope it continues in days to come too.

Correct Solution :

Actually the function which you were saying was present in the Workflow.js and not in the

workflow_jquerymobilelookandfeel.html file. So, I copied the same & deployed & got the output also.

Thanks Again!!

Hi Thushara, Hi Midhun,

I'm using SUP 2.1.2 and I need to populate a dropdown with some details for a material, in the same screen as the the material. Do you have any idea on how to do this (my difficulty being doing it in the same screen as the material)? Or link to such an example code ...

Thank you,

Marius

Please open a new post  ( tag me ) with complete details on the issue you are facing, hence I can help you better.

I don't understand " I need to populate a dropdown with some details for a material, in the same screen as the the material. "
