Goto Field not working in a Portal

[Michael Kirby]

I am currently redeveloping our IWP solution and have come across what should be an irritating little problem but is rapidly developing into a major annoyance.

I have a layout which contains a simple Portal into which I want the users to be able to add data, I have successfully used Goto Field elsewhere in the solution to get around the problem of reloading the page when a user clicks into a field but for some reason I can't get the field in the Portal to play ball. The layout loads with the fields already active but the cursor isn't in the field it is supposed to be in. I can click the field and get straight into it without the reload but I don't want the users to have to click each row in the Portal in order to type a new name in. Using IE, I can shift-Tab backwards into a newly created portal row but Firefox doesn't behave the same way.

Is there any way around this or am I wasting my time trying to get IWP to do something it simply won't do? I can't find any reference to it in the IWP documentation or via searching here or Google.

Hi Michael,

Assign the field an object name and then use the "Goto Object" script step rather than trying to go to the field.

Hope that helps!
