Hi I want to populate dropdown field on my form dynamically.I am on appian 7.2
I am using following code
importScript('/plugins/servlet/FormsExt.js');
FormAPI.populateDropdown("txtMaterialCode", ["getMaterialCodeMappingExpRule","Carton","No"]);

Here
getMaterialCodeMappingExpRule is an expression rule which takes two parameters.

When I execute this code i get following error
"Unable to get value of the property 'options': object is null or undefined"

Any pointer to this will really be helpfull....

Hi Amit,
In your code sniplet you have not given id_attr and display_attr. You are fetching material code object from rule, but what field of that object you need show in dropdown that u need to specify using id_attr and display_attr.
e.g
example1:
FormAPI.populateDropdown("txtMaterialCode", ["getMaterialCodeMappingExpRule","Carton","No"],"code","code");
here i am assuming that code is the field in CDT.

example2

FormAPI.populateDropdown("dropdown6", ["GetBusinessOriginDetailsByOriginCode", FormAPI.getValue("dropdown5").id], "code", "description");

kindly refer the attached Advanced form utilities guide
