Fill functionality with multi-select

The Fill Selected option is available from record lists resulting from a fill on an array field. When one or more records from a list are selected, the user can choose the Fill Selected option to fill the array with only the selected records.

  • A multi-select fill will not overwrite the existing content of an array. The records selected will be inserted into the array from the element where the fill was initiated.
  • The multi-select capability for a record list is determined by the field that the fill is being performed from.
    • If the field is a scalar the capability is disabled.
    • If the field is an array the capability is enabled.
  • The multi-select functionality is not enabled in system-generated record lists. The System Administrator needs to create a form with a table for the capability to be available.
  • When a Fill All or Fill Selected is performed, a message indicating how many records were filled displays in the message area.
  • The post expressions defined in a link line are executed as each record is filled into an array when performing a Fill All or Fill Selected.
