I am using ColdFusion 2016. I have a form with a multi-select drop down. The name attribute of the field is called jobRoleId. When I submit this form the field name is available in the form scope as jobRoleId[]. How do I get the value of this field? The name comes across like an array but I can't seem to just dump out the value due to the brackets.
I've tried dumping out the value, but I get an error. I feel like I have done this in the past and the form field name didn't contain the brackets [] after the field name when using a multi select menu:
<select id="jobRoleId" name="jobRoleId" multiple="multiple">...</select>
Is there a way to somehow have the form field name just come across as jobRoleId?
writedump(jobRoleId[]);
abort;
When I execute your code I get a comma separated list for the values of jobRoleId. Are you using any CF frameworks?
My output:
I also suggest looking at the client side JavaScript to confirm there's nothing changing the submitted name. You can use the Chrome/Firefox/IE debugger to watch your submissions and confirm what is being submitted
Multi select lists, in CF, should return a list of values, as far as I remember...

Admittedly, I know just enough about Angular to be dangerous. However, I'm fairly certain I've followed the instructions for the plugin concisely.
The issue is: whenever I select any of the options from one of my select fields using the chosen plugin (City, Nationality, Hotel, Room Type...) the result never gets populated, and the results from all the other select fields disappear. I'm fairly certain this is user error on my part - any clarification or help is much appreciated.
You can see an example here: http://casamarelanoivas.com.br/sst/test/
Thanks.

You are binding the selected value in your list to the same model variable you are using to generate the dropdown list. So whenever you select a value from the drop down list, you are wiping out the list values.
Here is what you have:
<select ng-model="model.cities" ng-options="city.name for city in model.cities">
This is the pattern you want to use instead.
<select ng-model="selectedCity" ng-options="city.name for city in model.cities">
In your controller you can then get the selected value from $scope.selectedCity
I wanted to add a simple read-only URL-field to 'opportunities' in SalesForce that contains a link to an external webpage with the 15-char record id (used in the salesforce urls) attached to it . To do this I wen to /ui/setup/Setup?setupid=Opportunity --> fields and created a new field under 'Opportunity Custom Fields & Relationships'.
I chose a field with data type 'URL' and added a default value. I thought
"http://example.com/?sfid="&id would do the trick, but this returns
Error: Field id may not be used in this type of formula
This is a vague error. Is my syntax of a default value wrong, or am i using the 'id' parameter in a wrong way? And what is the right way to do this?
I'm new to SalesForce, as you probably already have guessed.
As the other answer stated - Id will be known only after insert meaning the "default value" trick won't work for you.
You have some other options though:
Workflow rule that would be populating the URL field after save.
Formula field of type text that uses HYPERLINK function
HYPERLINK("http://example.com/?sfid=" & Id , "See " & Name & " in ext. system")
Custom link (similar to custom buttons, they appear on the bottom of the page layout. Search them in online help)
The difference between 2 and 3 is quite minor. Custom links can appear only on the record's detail view while formula fields & other urls are well... fields - so they can be used in reports, listviews etc.
You'd have to decide which version suits you best.
This is a great question. You're right, the error is very vague.
To begin with, read some of the documentation on default fields. Pay particular attention to the order of operations:
The user chooses to create a new record.
Default field value is executed.
Salesforce displays the edit page with the default field value pre-populated.
The user enters the fields for the new record.
The user saves the new record.
Default field values are calculated before any other record data including the id are available. For this reason, they cannot be calculated based on other record fields. Especially the record id, which has not yet been assigned.
To get this functionality, you will need to create a workflow rule that fires on record creation and inserts the proper value into your field.
It would be nice if we could have formula URL fields, but we don't. EDIT: I am dumb and forgot about using HYPERLINK in text formula fields, as eyescream correctly points out.
I just wanted to see if anyone has had experience with the issue I having. I am currently populating a select element from a restful web service using the ng-options feature and assigning it to my model with ng-model. I have also applied a filter to this select that changes the list based on the value from another select element. Everything works as intended from the display side. If I change the master select element and it filters the second select to not include the currently selected item, the display shows correctly and displays 'please select'. So this looks great and works as I intended but when this scenario happens the underlying model isn't updated and still has the invalid option stored in it. If I pass the model back to the server for further processing, I am getting values that might not be valid.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to have selected that filter one another also update the underlying model ?
I appreciate any ideas.
I'm having trouble using ng-options with filters.
The problem is that when an option is removed by a filter, the model of the select element retains the value of the removed option.
Here is a plunker. I have two filters working on the ng-options set. One that removes duplicates from the list of options, and one that removes nulls. You can see the problem I am speaking of by following these steps.
In the "Preferred Email" dropdown, select the last email option, 'jimbob#yahoob.com'.
Delete the text in the "Other Email" input box.
You can see now that because "Other Email" is null, it is no longer an available option, and the dropdown has defaulted to "Please Select Preferred Email". However the model of the select element still has that object assigned to it.
Same problem different context.
In the "Preferred Email" dropdown, select the option 'jimbob#yahooz.com'.
Now delete the 'z' in "jimbob#yahooz.com"
Upon doing so, the values in the two input boxes ('Email' and 'Home Email') become duplicates, and the second one ('Home Email') becomes filtered out of the available options. However the object that was just filtered remains assigned to the model.
Edit: My solution (Can anyone do better?)
Here (plunker) is the best I could come up with. I'm new to angular and can't help but think there is a better way to do this, I think this solution is "bad" but it works.
Essentially I pass into the filters a reference to the scope (this.contact) along with the name of which default item I am working with ('default_email' or 'default_phone'). If the filter is removing an item from the options set, it checks if it is the default, and if it is, sets the default to undefined.
I also added a bit more code, to get more context as to what I am working towards.
I know this is old, but I spent a long time trying to figure out the best way to handle this.
Turns out it's fixed in Angular 1.4! Try replacing the Angular version in your original plunker with 1.4, and the problem just goes away. I found this out by trying various versions until I narrowed it down.
i am new struts i am developing web application in which i have a requirement that i have to show records in tabular format i have made use of display tag in struts with every record i have a checkbox now i need to retrieve the values of those checkboxes in my Action which are checked . but what i am receiving in Action array of all the checkboxes. actually while displaying checkboxes by making use of display tag all checkbobes have got same name therefore i am not understanding how handle this care i have searched on google but did not find suitable situation
<display:column title="Service">
<input type="checkbox" name="sercive" />
</display:column>
how to handle this situation not understanding .could anyone give some sample code
or hint to handle this situation
I am not sure about display tag.
But in struts you have to define a property in Form bean (i.e. ActionForm) of type String[] or List with the name same as defined for your check boxes.
Then in Action class you will get the array of selected checkboxes only.
If this is not working. Then you can try of getting the values using request.getParameter("service"). This will return comma separated list of selected checkboxes which you can convert to array using split() method and then you can continue with your logic.
I hope this helps you.
Plain HTML checkboxes are only submitted if they're checked, that's just how clients work.
You must provide a differentiating factor, generally a value (e.g., a service ID in your case), to determine which has been selected. Your action form would contain a collection of those IDs.
