Edit field in portal after record creation via script

[georgewash]

I decided to add an editable field to a portal that is used to choose 'assignees' from a contact list. This is accomplished through the use of a script. Everything has worked fine so far. My problem is that after I created the Assignment field and added it to the portal it does not allow me to edit the field when the new record is created. I tried a number of ways to get it to be editable, but nothing worked.

I am not too knowledgable about scripts, so perhaps it has something to do with how I create the new record.

I've attached the file, since trying to describe all of the t.o.s and the relationships will probably only be confusing.

I am referring to the Tasks layout.

Thanks.

What layout and script should we be looking at?

[georgewash]

Tasks layout.

Tasks - Create New Assignment from Tasks

Thanks.

If you're talking about the status field I have no problem adding a line to the portal and then changing the field contents via the VL. Is this what you are referring to? If not please explain in more detail.

No, it's the Assignment field that I want to edit. Not a drop down or pop-up, just a empty field to type into.

Thanks for your efforts so far.

You have set the field so that you can not enter it in browse mode. Go to Layout mode, right click the field, click Field/Control->behavior and check the box next to browse. That should do it.

That did the trick.

Thank you very much.
