    Entering values into a grid using an action

    I'm trying to modify the sales order screen, and the way in which the line items are created.

    I would like to polulate the line item row with values already selected on the screen from dropdowns, no changes will be made to the grid itself. I thought this would simply be a case of entering the value into the grid (using 'Enter value into field on Screen). However this isn't having any effect. Do I need to use a loop through grid action as well?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi andy,

    You can't insert values into an editable grid, only read-only grids. The values would actually need to be selected in the grid itself as there are actions which execute after a selection is made. Why do you not want to select values within the grid? What's your goal?

    Ashur,

    I'm creating the functionality to allow the creation of Seminars (these will be Inventory Items). Each line item on the sales order will equate to a seat in the seminar. Participants (Contacts) will need to be included within the sales order line items. The intention is to select the line items via dropdowns and populate the grid.

    Thanks.
