Hi,

I would like to create textFields dynamically based on the value of a count variable.

I wrote the following apply function for doing that, but so far it is not working. I think it is a minor problem with my apply function. Can anybody help:

apply(
a!textField(label:" Technical Officer "& _ & "Hours to complete PSA:", value:ri!hours, saveInto: ri!hours), makeRange(local!technicalOfficersCount))

Basically i want to create however many textfields as are there in the local variable technicalOfficerCount. Any ideas would be deeply appreciated....

Create a rule that uses the SAIL textField component and has the label, value and saveInto fields as rule inputs. Then you can do something like:
apply(
rule!yourPrefix_textField(
merge(
repeat(length(local!technicalOfficersCount),"Your Label Text"),
repeat(length(local!technicalOfficersCount),ri!hours),
repeat(length(local!technicalOfficersCount),ri!hours)
)
)

Also the label of each textfield should be based on the number of technical officers.....so it should be like "Technical Officer 1", Technical Officer 2",....that's where I have the problem. Cannot put that i, 2, 3 into the Technical Officers text in the label.

Since local!techCount is set to an integer you won't need to use the length() function. length(4) will return 1

You may want to use the enumerate() function in your label expression. forum.appian.com/.../Mathematical_Functions
