Save Combo Box Text Field and Value Field

In application studio I have a combo box with EPBinding: Transview.myRev. It is populated by a BAQ that shows the revisions for a part number (filtered from a previous text box). This works well. I have the TextField set as PartRev_RevShortDesc and the Value Field set as PartRev_RevisionNum. This saves my rev in the transview.myRev bound field.

I also want to save the rev short description at the same time. So I have tried several approaches that do not work.
I have tried using the onBlur event on the combobox to set Transview.myRevDesc to the text fields of the combo box. I tried using row-update on Transview.myRevDesc, and setting the expression to these values (none worked):

  • this.getText()
  • row[“PartRev_RevShortDesc”]
  • this.Text
  • this.SelectedRow[“PartRev_RevShortDesc”]
  • myRev.TextField
  • [myRev.TextField]

I don’t really need to see the text value in a separate field, I just want to store it along with the rev. Is my approach feasible? Should I take another path?

EDIT: I’m thinking I could do this with a function. I’d much rather use a simple approach like I have here, if it’s possible.

Thanks for your time!

What about the EpBinding Text Column?

Bind it to wherever you want to save that value. I’m not sure how well it works with actual saved data - my example uses a dynamic column that only exists while the page is active…

It stuck it in the same dataview as the main EpBinding. In this case, in the Part dataview

I was wondering about that field. I’m not sure exactly how to use it. I’d expect to set the EpBinding to Transview.myRevDesc. But that didn’t work on its own. I still have an event in place to update Transview.myRevDesc onBlur of the combo box. But my row-update is not generating a valid value with the expression. So I removed that event entirely. And That seems to have done it! Now my Transview field has the correct data. Perfect! Thanks!
