Hi!
question about using values that have been defined
via a list entries form (drop down menu).
I have created a document that contains a drop down
menu (form). The user can pick from 2 values, being
draft and published. Is it possible to use the selected
value further on in the document, similar to what is
possible with variables (set variable versus show
variable)?
If it is possible to show the selected value from the
drop down menu (form), how is done??
Wow, it has been a bit since I have done this. What document type? Is
this Calc or Writer? I think that in Calc, you may be able to associate
the output from a drop down to a Cell. I know for certain, that I have
used macros to fire when a new value is chosen to do other sorts of
things. In other words, sure, you can do this with a macro for certain.
Not certain if you can do this automatically in Writer (without a
macro). If you can, then it is probably because you are using database
fields (but that is just a guess).
