How to make Now Mobile form screen fields editable?

[Afsar2]

Hi guys,

I need help with mobile app configuration.

I have build a list applet for sc_task.

On it's form screen I have added catalog variables form sc_task table (via platform view).

It appears on the form successfully.

Our user need to update these field values and close the task via app.

Issue here is the the catalog variables are different for each task and I need an action which can be linked to this screen and update the field record.

I have already created the Action Item/Action function and linked it to form screen.

This is what my screen looks like.

I need these variables to be editable and needs to be saved on click of the button below.

Any suggestions to achieve this will be really helpful.

Thank you,

Afsar Sheikh

Hey Asfar,

I suppose it won't work like this, as you cannot make the fields editable on the screen. You need to create a function with an action item (for each type of the variable) and then show them based on the role or condition.

In the function itself you can edit the variables you need.

Hi @Ivan Betev ,

Thanks for the suggestions.

I believe that's the only way to edit the fields via mobile app.

In this case I need to add sc_task.variable as UI param on function and have it mapped to the Action item data parameter.

Adding each of these catalog variables is not feasible as it varies for every sc_task record.

Is there is any hack to achieve this? If possible it will solve my problem.

Thank you.

Hi Afsar,

as you said, there should be UI params created and assigned, and as you cannot create them dynamically, I think there is no other option.

@David Ha maybe you have some ideas here?

@Ivan Betev ,

May be using parameter screen instead of write-back parameters will help in this.

Is there any way to link this with UI parameters on Action Function?

I am not sure.
