Dynamically label a section in repeated section from a repeated grid control value.

[MANISH]

New to Orbeon - need help !

When synchronising content I would also like to add another section in the repeated section whose label should come from the other repeated grid value.

Check the attached file for sample.

According to https://doc.orbeon.com/form-builder/advanced/services-and-actions/synchronize-repeated-content we can synchronise content. Additionally I also want the employee name[1] in repeated grid to be shown as the label of the section[1] under repeated section and employee name [2] as section[2] and so on .

Can anyone help me in achieving this?

Thanks

Hi Bojja,

Indeed, the `<fr:synchronize-repeated-content>` you're pointing to seems to
do what you're looking for. But I am not seeing you trying to use it in your
example. So I'd recommend you start by reading the page you point to, and
try to use the `<fr:synchronize-repeated-content>`. And of course, just let
us know if anything in the documentation isn't clear, or if you have any
difficulty in the process.

‑Alex

Hi Alex - I need to change the labels here. For the same example can i use the below lines?

<fr:synchronize-repeated-content left="grid-2" right="section-2">

            <fr:map left="control-2" right="control-4"/>

                 <fr:map left="control-2" right="section-3/label"/>             

            </fr:synchronize-repeated-content>

I don't see the labels of the repeated section changing dynamically

Thanks

Hi Bojja,

You can't set the label of a section with
`<fr:synchronize-repeated-content>`, but instead you can make the label of
the section depend on a value inside the section. In your example, you're
"setting" the value of `control-4` inside `section-2`. You can open the
"Section/Grid Settings" dialog for that section, to the "Label" tab, add a
Template Parameters you name `control-4`, set it to the value of
`control-4`, and in the title use `{$control-4}`.

You'll let me know if this works for you.

Thanks Alex- Works perfect for me!

Great, Bojja! I'm glad using a template for the section title worked, and
thank you for the follow-up.
