Hi,

I've added some instances of a subform in my form.
Now I want to change the elements of some specific instances.

I tried this JavaScript-code:
Form.List[count].textfield1.rawValue = "text"

where count is the actual number of instances -1

That code does nothing, my form crashes when I arrive that code.

Whats wrong with my code?

Any Ideas?

Your code uses a SOM expression. The SOM notation can be used directly in FormCalc, but not in JavaScript. Instead you have to use the "resolveNode" function.

EX:

Form.resolveNode("List[" + count.toString() + "].textfield1").rawValue = "text";

Or you could do it in FormCalc:

Form.List[count].textField1 = "text";
