January 30, 200917 yr Hey all, I am working on a field that I want to hold the active years of a contract (ex. 2008, 2009, 2010,.. etc). I created a repeating field and I am looking to show or hide the repetitions based on weather the previous repetition is full. Is this possible? I have read about using a portal technique to show and hide fields but I having a tough time understanding that method and how I could apply it to this situation. Is there some sort of simple function to modify object properties? Thanks
January 30, 200917 yr What is the purpose of this? Using a repeating field may not the most correct way to handle this.
January 30, 200917 yr Author The general purpose of this field is to store the active years of the contract (ex. 2008, 2009, 2010)
February 4, 200916 yr You are experiencing a problem directly caused by using repeats. Get rid of the repeating fields; use a portal and related table.
February 4, 200916 yr Author It looks like that really may be the best solution, despite if I want that to be the solution or not :)
February 4, 200916 yr Depending on your needs, you might try somthing like this. (Calculation based on contract dates, Start and End, see attached file. I only made this work for contracts up to 6 years long.) Finds should let you enter one year and find all jobs active for that year. Relationships will also work using this as a key field.
