Hi,

I'm trying to bind field dynamically but it seems not working.
Here is the code I'm using.
form1.TextField1.bind.match = "dataRef";
form1.TextField1.bind.ref = "$record.Address";

Can anybody suggest what needs to be done to make it work

Thanks,
Oleg

Hmm, don't know if this will work, try making the change in the "Template" model. You may need to use XMLData operators to get the changes in, i.e., "clone()", modify, and then "setElement"

Binding to records is not simple. There's quite a bit of mapping structure in there. And the LiveCycle engin might need to be refreshed in order for the changes to take. Something like closing and reloading the file.

An easier approach would be to add bound fields that are hidden and then move data in and out of them as necessary.
