Pre-defined label control on Form Builder

Hi Alex,

I have number of Orbeon application running on production where i have some requirement in Form builder.

I need to pre-populate one label control with id="age" with value passed to Form builder URL as query string.

For example: http://<<formbuilder_url>/?age=123

Now in this case i need to insert this value in xform generated by form builder. I was thinking the way to get one label control on form pre populated with this value 123 so that when this form is saved it get saved in xform under element <age>123</age>

Or there is any other way to achieve this in Form builder.

Regards,
Hasan

Hasan,

In the control's validation properties, set the Initial Value to something like:

xxforms:get-request-parameter('age')

That should do the trick.

Re: Pre-defined label control on Form Builder

Hi Erik,

In above scenerio, I think user have to create label with intial value given as xxforms: get-request-parameter() in validation properties.

We want that label too as pre-populated which will have request parameter's "e.g. age" value.

for example

if user go to create XForm using XForm Builder, Label should be pre-populated in starting of the form either visible or hidden.

Thanks,
regards

Surendra,

As far as setting default label values in Form Builder, this is not
directly possible at this point.

You would have to write your own XForms code to set the label value this way.
