How do you create a new field in TransView and assign a value to it

[jkane (John Kane)]

Here is some easy points for someone! JK, don’t know if it is easy or not.

What can I use to create a new field in TransView and then assign a value to it? Is there some neat trick or do I literally have to create a hidden text box and then assign it through that?

This might get you what you need.
You just make one up and initialize it with some data, then it’s good to go.

Application Studio Get Selected Value from Grid

So, I got this working to what I think is your intention, but you’ll have to let me know. Here’s the working iteration: [SumClicks] I created a new Event called “ClickTest” and made the trigger be of Type DataView, Hook Row Changed, and Target NewView (This will be the view bound to your grid). Within the event, I added a condition node to check if TransView.SumOfProjectIDs was created yet. Since TransView is a runtime view and that field is one I made up, then it will have to be initialized…

What are you trying to do?

If you are creating an app from scratch, there won’t be a TransView data view.

In this case, initialize it by using a row-update event and set any field value (In this case I set RowId). After you’ve done this, you don’t need to initialize any other coulmns, just use the TransView in your EpBindings as needed.

If you are just applying a layer to an existing base app, you shouldn’t need to do any of this.

Awesome! Thanks @mbayley

Kind of strange.

This was working then added a few new controls and it seemed to stop, I had to add it in again.

It’s like adding parameters to a function, the new parameters never show up in Application Studio unless you select another function then the original and then put in the parameters again 1 by 1. Very frustrating.
