How to access id of selected card in saveInto parameter of card choice field?

Thanks Mike Schmitt . I will try what you suggested. Previously, I tried a!foreach() in place of append(). But, I have one more usecase in it where I need to capture the "Other" value using textbox, which gets enabled only when user selects the card choice with name OTHER. I need to maintain that value as well on the same index where id for OTHER is stored. And looping approach was overriding values with new values. So, as a consequence I was losing the value in the record field corresponding to that text box.

But, I will try with a new dynamic local variable and update you.

you'll probably just need to find a way to simplify your save operation to avoid using this, which probably gets tripped up when the user clicks too fast...

"save!value[length(save!value)],"

Instead of constructing every member of the added record in the saveInto, try declaring a dynamic local variable that iterates over the list of local!selectedWeather (which would be a basic list that items get added to when clicked), and it sets up an entry for every current item in that list. This approach should(?) be a bit mroe resistant against users spam-clicking items, since it'll always adjust to the total values in local!selectedWeather after the user stops clicking stuff.

Mike Schmitt I am facing a weird issue in QA test after implementing the solution to main problem stated in this thread. Problem is when I am slowly selecting the multiple card choices one after other, then all values in the relationship are updating perfectly fine.

But, in any case, if my speed of selection of card choices is high, then it persists only last selected card choice. I've hit the wall but not able to find out what's the issue here.

Attached is the full code I implemented so far. Record references may need to be replaced with local dummy data to test.

This is urgent, any help is really appreciated.

RE: How to access id of selected card in saveInto parameter of card choice field?

adams9753 — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 10:34:20 GMT

Well...The approach to building the rule involves using the saveInto parameter of the a!cardChoiceField function. This parameter allows you to specify the target variable where you want to save the selected value from the card choice field.
