AutoEnter in repetition field. How?

[Electric_Soul]

Hello

I have two repetition fields.

1. Name:		Attachments[5]

   Type:		Container 

   Option:		Auto Enter

   Function:	GetAsText(BestellungenET::Attachments[Get ( CalculationRepetitionNumber )])





2. Name:		AttachmentsDescription[5]

   Type:		Text(unstored calculaton)

   Function:	Attachments[Get ( CalculationRepetitionNumber )]

Now, if I change anything in the attachments field, no mater which repetion, all fields in attachmentsDescription recalculate and show the name of the file in the corresponding repetion in the field attachments. Everything works nicely.

Problem:

Now. I want attachmentsDescription to be of type Text with the Auto enter Option. But I cannot figure out how to trigger the repetionFields in attachmentsDescription to recalculate. Only the frist repetition hits.

Anyone ??

Auto-enter in repeating fields does not work the way one would expect.

Why don't you try it this way:

Name: Attachments[5]

Type: Container

Name: AttachmentsDescription[5]

Type: Calculation (result is Text), stored

Formula = Attachments

I am not entirely sure what's your purpose here, so if this doesn't work for you, please explain further.

The problem is, that I cannot type any text into calculation fields.

I'm just going to use a seperate table for the attachments, as i used to.

But thank you anyways.

A separate table is probably a better solution here for other reasons as well. But in general, you could use an override field to enter your text, and let the calculation select between the two.

The simpler version is a table

thank you very much
