rest calls, datasets and initial values
Locked
 
|
This post was updated on .
I have defined an HTTP service named jsontest that calls a rest service
(http://date.jsontest.com/). This works when I click test and returns a json object with the current date and time in it. I then defined an action also named jsontest that is set as run on creation only, when the form loads and before the data's initial values are calculated. Next I set an initial value formula in a text field with "concat(fr:dataset('jsontest')/date,':',fr:dataset('jsontest')/time)" in it. When I create a new instance of this form I don't get a value in the text field as I expected. If I change the action to run always then I get a value. Should this work with run on creation only, I think it should. Have I misunderstood how this works? The form source is <xh:html xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"

Brian,
Based on your description, it should work. But the form source is missing. Can you share it again? -Erik -- Sent from: http://discuss.orbeon.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orbeon Forms" group.

Thanks Erik,
I've edited the post and added the source back in again. I'm having a lot of trouble with the raw tags in posts, they seem to disappear when I post the form if I have used the Preview Message button despite looking fine in the preview. brian... -- Sent from: http://discuss.orbeon.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orbeon Forms" group.

I am still having this issue with creation only events for actions. I've been
trying a couple of other forms with this setup and the service is just not called if the invoking action is set to run on creation only. thanks brian... -- Sent from: http://discuss.orbeon.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orbeon Forms" group.

Thanks Erik,
I've tested this with your build 2018.1.201808291755-PE and it is working as expected now. brian... -- Sent from: http://discuss.orbeon.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orbeon Forms" group.
