How do you use js for a dynamic multi-select list box in Bulk Edit


Recommended Posts

Hi, the below code is used to create comma-delimited text values (in a text255 field) so the user can select multiple values in a list box and save them (separated by commas) in a text field. It's necessary to use this method instead of the Caspio-native 'List' data type because the lookup values need to be dynamic (I wish Caspio would enable this, been waiting FOREVER). 

This method works great for Details and Update datapages but I need it to also work in a Bulk Edit page. I've tried changing 'EditRecord' to 'BulkEditRecord' but it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to modify this code to work in a Bulk Edit page? This is so the user can select multiple records and update them with multiple selections in a listbox. 

<script type="text/javascript">
 var v_state = "[@field:state]" ;
 var o_state = document.getElementById("EditRecordstate") ;
 o_state.multiple = true ;

 function f_listbox() {
  if ( v_state.indexOf(",") > 0 ) {
   for (var i=0 ; i < o_state.options.length; i++ ) {
    if(o_state[i].value == v_state) {
     o_state.remove(i);
     break ;
    }
   }
   var o_st = v_state.split(", ") ;
   for (var j=0 ; j < o_st.length; j++) {
    for (var i=0 ; i < o_state.options.length; i++ ) {
     if(o_st[j]== o_state.options[i].value){
      o_state.options[i].selected = true ;
      break ;
     } 
    }
   }
  }
 }
 document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', f_listbox);
 //You can also use the line below instead of the eventlistener 
// setTimeout(f_listbox, 20); 
</script>
