Using integer values for a selection control

[bc]

When using a selection-control, you have to specify the value in the JSON as a string, so when you build the json, you have to convert any integer (or other) values to a string because otherwise the correct value is not shown.

e.g. for fconf

'my-control': {

base : "selection-control",
label: "status",
options : {

uri: publicUri + "/business/code/maandstatus/" + admin.id,
valueTemplate: "{code}",
labelTemplate: "{langeText}"

}

}

the json-string [{"code":5, "value":"value 5"},{"code":8, "value":"value 8"}]
won"t work, it has to be [{"code":"5", "value":"value 5"},{"code":"8", "value":"value 8"}]

Spend some time to understand the issue here:

"otherwise the correct value is not shown"

is in case of using setValue/setWireValue or reset() (initial.value)

right?

[mpo]

Spend some more time and even the setValue cases work on my end.
I've added a test to the selection-sample page (r1722)

Could you please verify and close this issue (can't reproduce) or clarify your case?

The problems occures with the carMakesNullable-field

Using the selection control sample,

when you add the following

  var x = theform.findControl("carMakesNullable");
  x.setWireValue("2");

You see that "Renault" is selected

but when you say

  x.setWireValue(2);

the value is "---please select---" so I assume no value is set for the selection control and so, the first item in the list is shown.

from the sample at:
http://dev.outerthought.org/trac/outerthought_kauri/browser/trunk/samples/kauri-forms-sample/src/main/kauri/pages/selection-control.html.xml

line 99

99	              "carMakesNullable": {
100	                  "base": "string",

I think that is your explanation, no?

[bc]

I suppose "string" is the default?
This will be my explanation because in my case I didn't specify one.

[mpo]

yes, 'string' is the default type
Thus chosen since that is the type that doesn't require any format/parse
