Re: Appending Values to Char field from a List
Dave, That makes sense, especially if your Active Link Set Fields action is to use the first matching request. You could add a zTmp_Item and attach the menu to it with append check box Unchecked. Use the same active link to set the concatenated Items into the Item field while you are setting the concatenated Services into the Servcie Affected field. One for each selection from the display only filed with the menu. If it is critical to have this dynamic listing you may want to consider a child form and Table Field. Use the Item menu to select the pair and push them to the child form with a GUID ( or request ID) Then refresh the table to show the values. Hope this helps, --- John J.

Joe Joe, This is what I did for the Item field but the problem is with the field that is being set - Services Affected. It will only set one value. I can append (and do) the Item.

Appending Values to Char field from a List
I have a request to append values from a pull down to a character field. I have a field called Item with a Search menu attached. When an Item is selected it sets a character field called Services Affected with the corresponding Service from the form that is called from the Search menu ( Network Devices). My users want to be able to select multiple Items, have them show in the Item field and append (list) the corresponding Services (from the Network Devices form) in the Services Affected character field. Is this possible? Has anyone done this? Right now I'm using an AL which works fine for the first Item selected.

Re: Appending Values to Char field from a List
You could code it to append value to the holding field in the AL. AL Set Field Pseudo Code: $Services Selected$ = $Services Selected$ + ; + $Item$ Thanks, Mark From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Boylan, David Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:16 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Appending Values to Char field from a List ** I have a request to append values from a pull down to a character field.

If its a drop down character field, click the Append option.
