When the button is clicked, a new row is created with the values from the text fields

I've encountered a challenge with my code. I'm looking to implement a functionality where clicking a button will add a new row (FailureInstance) in a table (failuretable) and fill three cells with data from other fields. The current code snippet below is not yielding the desired outcome:

xfa.host.messageBox("Failure Recorded and Added To Table Below. Please Continue Filling Out the Form Until All Failures Have Been Recorded.  Then Please Save and Submit the Form.", "Continue/Save/Submit", 3);
if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
    xfa.form.recalculate(1);
}
var newRow = failuretable._FailureInstance.addInstance(1);
newRow.FailureCode.rawValue = form1.FailureType.rawValue;
newRow.Location.rawValue = form1.CellLocation.rawValue;
newRow.Comments.rawValue = form1.AdditionalComments.rawValue;

Seeking assistance as this implementation does not create a new row in my table. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

Make sure to verify if multiple instances for a row are permitted. To do this, navigate to FailureInstance in the hierarchy view and then go to Object->Binding (if it's not visible, access it through the window menu) to confirm if "Repeat Row for Each Data Item" is checked. If not, select it to ensure your code functions correctly.

I recommend enabling JavaScript debugging on your Adobe Reader so you can easily identify when errors occur and understand their nature. To do this, open Reader, go to Edit->Preferences->JavaScript, and choose "Show console on errors and messages". After that, remember to restart Designer for the changes to take effect.

Answer №2

To ensure proper functionality during design, make sure to activate:

Object > Data Binding > Repeat Table for Each Data Item

When coding, don't forget to incorporate the "instaceManager" method:

...
var newRow = failuretable.FailureInstance.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
