    <p>In a purchase order module, we need to ask certain questions depending on the source selection method, competition type and total cost of the PO. These questions are likely to change over time and in between different instances of the database.</p> <p>So I have a view containing the questions, so that I can add questions dynamically to my XPage without needing to change the code. The answer to each question will be stored in a field. So, the document that contains the question has a field called FieldName that is used to supply the field name that will be used. Unfortunately, I am having no luck binding these dynamic fields to the document.</p> <pre><code>&lt;xp:this.data&gt; &lt;xp:dominoView var="competitionQuestionView" viewName="CompetitionQuestions"&gt; &lt;/xp:dominoView&gt; &lt;/xp:this.data&gt; &lt;xp:repeat id="repeat2" rows="30" var="rowData" style="width:700px" value="#{competitionQuestionView}"&gt; &lt;xp:label id="label1"&gt; &lt;xp:this.value&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:rowData.getColumnValue("Question");}]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.value&gt; &lt;/xp:label&gt; &lt;xp:inputText id="inputText1"&gt; &lt;xp:this.rendered&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:rowData.getColumnValue("FieldType") == "Text Box"; }]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.rendered&gt; &lt;xp:this.value&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:poDoc[rowData.getColumnValue ("FieldName")];}]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.value&gt; &lt;/xp:inputText&gt; &lt;/xp:repeat&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried various ways to do this, including making a dynamicInputText custom control to pass in the field name, but without luck. The closest I got was when I used this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xp:this.value&gt; &lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:tmp = rowData.getColumnValue ("FieldName");'#{poDoc.'+tmp+'}';}]]&gt; &lt;/xp:this.value&gt; </code></pre> <p>That gave me something like <em>#{poDoc.justification}</em>, which was what I wanted to pass to the 'binding', but it ended up displaying as the text value.</p> <p>I did try using $ to compute the value on load, but I am guessing that it didn't work because my (and the rowData) view is not available on load. That would eventually present a problem when I wanted to use partial refreshes due to updates on the criteria for which fields I want to display anyway.</p> <p>Some of the answers to other questions looked promising, but no code was provided, so I couldn't figure it out.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
