TEXT_FIELD with a value list do not accept other values.

[rogel]

that doesnt matter:

test1|tst1
test2|tst2
test3|tst3
test4|tst4

This is how servoy is designed, that when you have real and display (that means what you see and type is different data then what is in the db) you can't insert just display data.

Hi!

I have a text_field that has a country value list. I already made my real value and display value both mapped to description but it still does not accept value that is not in my list. i am using servoy6.

please advice.

thanks!

dont use a real|display valuelist, use if you want to accept other values only a display valuelist

I am confused. How do you use a display only value list? In the definition part, I chose countrydescription and tick return to data provider on the first box, and countrydescription and tick show on field/list.

thanks!

if "show" and "return" are the same (for example only the first box is selected by both) then you have a display (or real) only valuelist.

wow! its working now. thanks alot!

follow-up question. can we filter the contents of the valuelist at runtime?

i mean, if i enter a country that is in the valuelist, my other textfield with valuelist of states will now be filtered by the entered country.

you can do that with related valuelist or a global method valluelist.
