Register User Form

[Huddos]

Hi,

I'm trying to concatenate the LastName FirstName attributes to a displayname attribute in the Register User Form so when the FirstName and LastName are entered the displayname is automatically generated. LastName and FirstName are strings, with Parent change action of mapping. The displayname is SQL ENUM with the value and default value "select concat(${LastName},${FirstName}) as ID". The parent attribute of the displayname is LastName with Parent change action of mapping. I have also tried combinations of Parent change action of Refresh. 

TIA

Edit: Its now working to a degree, for some reason when I enter details in a attribute not related (manager) to the above 3 fields it will generate a display name. I have to click on the displayname for it to generate though and any changes after that to the lastname firstname are not reflected in displayname unless I click back on the unrelated attribute and update and then click on display name again. Strange behavior.

Hi Raghu,

If I make any change to FirstName or LastName I have to then reselect a user in lineLeader which will then update details in displayname attribute. Is the select displayname as ID ... in lineLeader query conflicting with the display name attribute??

See attachments.

Thanks

Hi Raghu

I have tried Mapping before, tried gain and the same issue and also adjusted index so no conflicts even though they are separate attribute groups. Does anything need to be populated in the action strings? thanks

Hi @Huddos ,

The reason of this issue is because you are using Attribute Type -String for both firstname and lastname. The behavior explained in original request is an expected behavior.

Also, for the question:  "Is the select displayname as ID ... in lineLeader query conflicting with the display name attribute??" No, it's not. If you notice, a small refresh of page is required for displayname to pop-up the displayname - concat(firstname,lastname). This can be done by any DA, not just by lineLeader.

Below is how we can achieve it: (Working solution)

Create another dynamic attribute:

Label: Generate Display Name

Attribute Type: Single select SQL query

Value: select 'Yes' as ID union select 'Regenerate Display Name Change' as ID

Final step is to add this new DA 'generate' in 'displayname' DA under 'Parent Attribute'

1. For the first time, when you update firstname and lastname - click 'Yes' under Generate Display Name - this would generate displayname

2. If you again want to update firstname and lastname before submitting, which should also re-generate displayname - Click on Regenerate Display Name Change - this will re-generate displayname
