Good day,

First of all, a short preface that I have only recently started developing via FS API.

In a template there is a CMS_INPUT_LIST myFancyInputList with several ENTRY and I would like to retrieve the values of this InputList via FS API.

I could already figure out how to set the values?

formData.form.findEditor(“myFancyInputList”) .let { it as OptionFactoryProvider } .optionFactory.create(person.tenant) .let { hashSetOf(it) } .let { formData.get(null, “myFancyInputList”).set(it) }

But how do I get the already set values so that I can perform an update?

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

  Hi, 

  concerning setting the value: no need for that complicated way via OptionProvider. You can directly use a Set of „compatible“ objects in the FormField.set(…) call. Which type is compatible depends on the definition of the INPUT_LIST: If it’s based on simple <ENTRY>s, you can use a Set of Strings, for database based entries (INCLUDE_OPTIONS type="database") a Set of entities or also a Set of Datasets etc.

  You get the values also via the FormField‘s get() method which will return a Set<Option> with Option just being a kind of „container“ for the real values - just use .getValue() on each entry. 

  The type of the returned object via that call (again) depends on the way the INPUT_LIST is configured.

  Hope this helps.

  By the way: Things like these are part of our „Developer Training Advanced“ - you can find upcoming planned schedules here - there is an English course planned in January

  Michael
