 Transfer of Field Values Between Form Scenarios of a Process

Use

If you use more than one form scenario in a process, you use this function to determine for which fields values are transferred between the form scenarios.

If more than one form scenario is assigned to a process, they are processed independently of each other. If you want to transfer data from one form scenario into another, you must define an appropriate assignment of the form fields of the source and target form scenarios.

Prerequisites

You use more than one form scenario in your process.

Features

  • If the target form scenario is edited in the process, the system copies the values for the fields for which you have defined an assignment from the source form scenario. The source form scenario therefore provides default values for the target form scenario.

  • If you have defined additional default values for the target form scenario manually, or using back-end services, these are not taken into account. The values copied from the source form scenario have precedence in all cases. This also applies to any initial values that are copied from the source form scenario.

  • The field values are filled in the target form scenario when the fields become relevant for the first time. A field that is already relevant in the first step of the target form scenario is also filled with the value from the source form scenario when the target form scenario is called for the first time. A field that is not relevant until a subsequent step is not filled until the step is actually processed.

    Note Note

    In contrast to the target form scenario, it is not necessary to enter the version of the source form scenario. The version of the target form scenario is required because the field assignment can be version dependent.

    You do not need to specify the version of the source form scenario as it can only ever be used in one version at the process runtime. When copying the field values, the system simply copies the data from the existing version of the source form scenario.

    End of the note.

Activities

In the object hierarchy area, choose Start of the navigation path <Process Name> Next navigation step Transfer of Field Values End of the navigation path , and enter the following:

  • Target form scenario

    • Name of the form scenario

    • Version of the form scenario

    • Name of the field that is to accept the value from the source form scenario

  • Source form scenario

    • Name of the form scenario

    • Name of the field that is to provide the value for the field of the target form scenario

Repeat for all form scenarios and fields within the process in which values are to be copied.
