OnFocus event for form components

Unknown

Hello

I am trying to verify if there is or isnt focus events for form components. I havent been able to find it so far, and the only form rule triggers can be fired for events like change and exit.

Here is a basic explanation of what Im trying to do. Rather than create individual flows within a lengthy rule stack for various list components to obtain selectable list values and/ or the selected value stored in the database, I would much rather get/ set the selectable/ selected list values for a particular list box based on variables for the active field being set on focus of the active component. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jeremy, the Form Designer can interact with the focus of components in a couple of ways:
[ul][li]Enter/exit events (similar to OnFocus and other events in other development platforms)[/li][li] [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/dynamic-form-features-overview]https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/dynamic-form-features-overview[/url][/li][li]Key Triggers (set focus via keystroke)[/li][li] [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/key-triggers-form-controls]https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/key-triggers-form-controls[/url][/li][/ul]
The enter & exit events of components can be used for Data Flows, Validation Rules, & Visibility Rules. If you are referring to when an end-users mouse hovers over a component, there is currently no event/trigger for that.

If youd like, I can branch this out into a support ticket if youd like to discuss this in-depth.
