asked on

getting field dialog list newly added user entries to save on list.

How can I save newly entered data in a dialog list field?  I see the new entry that is not on the "already created list" in a view but when I go to a new form, I can not find the newly entered entry on the dialog list.

Scenario 1:
if you have pre - existing list of values in the list field and not using lookup's or dbcolumn
create a new field.
Update this field with that new value and also the list field.
and then use @unique(newfield : "your existing list of values")

Scenario 2:
If u are fetching from View using Dblookup and dbcolumn then
create a new field
Update this field with the new value and also the list field.
then in the code for the list field, use
res:=@dbcolumn (....);
res1:=@if(@iserror(res);"";res);
@Unique(newfield:res1)
