[CLOSED] Display Text on Remote Combo

[peter.campbell]

Hi,

I have three ajax-linked combos that store an ID mapped to status fields in my database (three tables). When I'm creating a new record, it's no problem, as the stores are loaded as needed and this works as I'd expect.

If I open an existing record though, where I have some ID's already, and I want to show the status text (instead of the number) in the combo.. I of course have the issue that my store is not loaded yet (as it is set to load when queried).

Is there any way around this? I don't necessarily want to load all the data up-front for existing records. Could I set that actual display text and the value? I can send both down if needed, and only load the full store data if someone wanted to change a value.


Thanks.

Hi,

Probably, when you open an existing record you will need to load a status code for the specified ID for a database.

Though I'm not sure how all is configured on your side and what exactly you mean under

If I open an existing record though, where I have some ID's already

Could you provide more details? A sample to reproduce the problem would be best.

Thanks. I'm doing it differently now, but your answer helped.
