I’m on FSM 6.28. 

I would like to create an input xml with a control type where I provide two options like Yes or No, but it doesn’t save as Y or N, but pre-defined values where Y = ‘value_1’ and N = ‘value_2’ or where I set to nothing, for example N = ‘ ‘. Or something like a checkbox control type but it doesn’t save it as Y or N. 

Also, am I able to display more than one control in one message?

Below is an example of what I was trying to achieve and would like to know if that is possible.

    <update_request>
        <request>
            <request_id xpath_node="//request_hierarchy_select_result[@result_name='detail']/request/request_id" />
            <action_status>@user_input[id=convert_credit_prompt, table_name=request, column_name=action_status, control_type=CheckBox, choices=Yes:CONVERT_CREDIT;No:, required=Y, height=30]</action_status>
            <update/>
        </request>
    </update_request>

Hi ​@LeeT,

 

You can include more than one control in an Input XML message.

However, a checkbox for action_status will not work because Action Status is a text field. A checkbox requires a YORN field and stores only Y or N. It cannot store CONVERT_CREDIT as the response because that is a text value, not a valid YORN value.

One option would be to configure a user-defined field as YORN and use the checkbox to ask “Convert Credit?” The user’s Yes or No response would be stored in the user-defined field. A business rule could then evaluate that response and perform the actual update to action_status using the appropriate text value.

 

Hope this helps,

Morris
