How do I programmatically pre-fill some case property values on a case add page?
Body
Here's a slight twist on a previous entry where I showed how to
dynamically add choice values to an Add Task page. For this one, we want to pre-fill some case properties on Add Case page and set one of the property fields to be read only. Here's how:
- Add a Scrip Adapter widget to your Add Case page and rename it "Prefill"
- Wire the Page Container's Send New Case Information event to the inbound event on your Prefill Script Adapter
- Add the following script to your Script Adapter, replacing the property name with one from your solution
/* Requires ICM 5.2.0.1 */ console.log(this.name,": ",payload); require(["icm/base/Constants", "icm/model/properties/controller/ControllerManager"], function(Constants, ControllerManager) { /* Get the coordination and editable objects from the event payload. */ var solutionPrefix = payload.caseType.getSolution().getPrefix(); var coordination = payload.coordination; var editable = payload.caseEditable; /* Change me to your property name */ var theProperty = solutionPrefix + "_CaseStage"; /* Use the LOADWIDGET coordination topic handler to obtain the controller binding */ /* for the editable and to update the properties. */ coordination.participate(Constants.CoordTopic.LOADWIDGET, function(context, complete, abort) { /* Obtain the controller binding for the editable. */ var collectionController = ControllerManager.bind(editable); /* Start a batch of changes. */ collectionController.beginChangeSet(); /* Make the updates to the properties. */ collectionController.getPropertyController(theProperty).set("value", "0"); collectionController.getPropertyController(theProperty).set("readOnly", true); /* Complete a batch of changes. This tells all subscribed widgets to refresh. */ collectionController.endChangeSet(); /* Call the coordination completion method. */ complete(); }); /* Use the AFTERLOADWIDGET coordination topic handler to release the controller binding for the editable. */ coordination.participate(Constants.CoordTopic.AFTERLOADWIDGET, function(context, complete, abort) { /* Release the controller binding for the editable. */ ControllerManager.unbind(editable); /* Call the coordination completion method. */ complete(); }); });
