    Triggered Text Change

    I have a screen that has a Dropdown of our CUSTOMER list.  In the Action area of this text box I have added under "TEXT CHANGED" some Retrieve from Table" commands to auto populate the address, city, st, zip boxes on the screen.  This works fine.  I pick a customer and it pulls the address info from the Customer Table.

    I have a "CALL #" dropdown also on this screen that refers to a Support Call.  I use the call # to Populate the information for the CUSTOMER DROPDOWN, by pulling the information from the SUPPORT CALL table.  Again this works fine.  I pick a CALL # from the dropdown and it populates the call date and customer name into their appropriate text boxes on the screen.

    Now here's the issue.  I added an action (Call another action set) to the CALL # dropdown to "TRIGGER A TEXT CHANGE" on the CUSTOMER NAME dropdown.  It is last in the list of actions (after the CUSTOMER NAME is pulled).  It doesn't seem to work.  I get the cust. Name but no address info the first time.  If I click on a different CALL # I get a new customer name and I get address info but it is the address info for the last customer, like it's one behind or something.

    The Result I would like is to pick a CALL # and have it populate the Customer Name and then trigger the customer name box to populate the address info.  I have done this on other screens and it works just fine.

    I have checked everything and nothing looks out of place.  I even added a "SHOW MESSAGE" to the action secquence on the Customer Name box and it pops up after I pull down a CALL # but it doesn't continue down the list and populate the address info, unless I manually go to the customer name box and choose the customer again then it populates everything, so I know it works.

    It's very weird... any thoughts?

    HI,

    Let me do some similar testing with the ‘Call Another Action Set’ and see if I can replicate the issue on one of my accounts. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all the details.
