Zugg Software :: View topic - Single Option field

Beginner Joined: 15 May 2012 Posts: 15

Problem: Equipment Identification database--> a record field that is a Single Option. The name of the field is Slot
and a few of the options in the list are Neck, Legs, Head, Finger, etc.

My code:
#IF (%ismember(@dbview, @viewlist)) {#show @dbview} {@dbview = armor};#addkey item slot @itemtype;#NEW @dbview @item;#T- identify

Explanation:
/dbview/ is the view in the db. unless it matches something else in the viewlist, it will default to /armor/ as the view.
(#addkey item slot @itemtype) , @itemtype is the variable that holds the Slot choice (Legs for instance). Addkey adds it to /Item.slot/ .

sooo,
I checked Item, and its showing up with Legs so that part is working fine.

The (#new @dbview @item) is working correctly too, filling in everything else. The problem is the Slot, Single Option, field in the new record always is the first option in the list. It doesn't show legs like it should.

Is there a trick to getting a Single Option to chose the correct one?

Fixed it. Took me hours of trying alternate solutions and looking for some command that I was missing, searching forums... I am new to coding, so I figured there was some command or syntax that I didn't have knowledge of.

before I finally gave up and went back to double check (again) what I had and see if it was something I could figure out.

Come to find out, that when I made my Option List, a large majority of the options I put in had a space before the option. ( Legs) instead of (Legs) for example. So when I sent the code for it to be set to Legs, it couldn't find it. All it had was _Legs.

So problem solved I guess. There was no mysterious code I was missing. Idea
