Setting dynamic field titles in natural xml

Product/components used and version/fix level: N1 9.3.3 fix 3

*Detailed explanation of the problem: We build form fields from queries using the tag in xml. We need to dynamically set the form field title value. I cannot find anything in the docs on how to do that. I tried using a Natural variable, but it was just entered as text.

Hi Ian,

Is my understanding correct that your question is about Natural for Ajax?

The FIELD control you are using supports a title and a titleprop property. Your layout snippet above shows the usage of a FIELD control in a grid. When using a FIELD in a grid, you usually use the titleprop property. This will result in a Natural field which you dynamically fill with the correct value per item in your Natural program. For titleprop=“fieldtitle” your grid data structure will look like this:

1 THEGRID (1:*)

2 FIELDTITLE (A) DYNAMIC

…

In the Browser this will be rendered a s tooltip for the corresponding column.

Does this meet your requirements?

Best Regards,

Christine
