Hi Markus, If I understand your requirement correctly, you want a modal that allows selecting some value(s) for a form field and want the selection be visible in the displayed form after the modal close.
The trick is to define an AjaxUpdateContainer around the zone to be updated after the modal close. If you use AjaxObserveFields on your form, you can have a large section refreshed safely. You also need to define the AjaxModalDialog with it's id and add the closeUpdateContainerID binding to specify the AjaxUpdateContainer to update when the dialog close. <wo:AjaxModalDialog closeUpdateContainerID = "formContainerId" id = "selectValueDialogId" ... And lastly, put the link to open the dialog on your form... <wo:AjaxModalDialogOpener dialogId = "selectValueDialogId" class = "tiny button" label = "$localizer.button.selectionner"/> Samuel > Le 11 déc. 2017 à 11:41, Markus Ruggiero <mailingli...@kataputt.com> a écrit : > > it always the same ... not using these things often results in utter > confusion when finally I need to do this. > > I have a standard page with a large form. > On that page there is a text field that the user can ... > - enter an value directly > - depending on previously made selections further up in the form the > value is already set and cannot be changed > - depending on previously made selections further up in the form there > is a button/link next to the text field that should open a modal dialog with > a list of strings to pick from (the field is not editable direcly). > My problem is that 3rd option. > > I already have a small component that loads the available strings from the > database and shows them in a table.
