i would like to create a response doc. Using lotus script how can i get the value of a field from the parent document and assign it to a field in the response document.

both are in the same database.

thanks in advance.

Something along the lines of the following, although it depends how you’re using the parent doc. I’ll assume that it’s the open window.

Dim ws as new notesuiworkspace

DIm uidoc as notesuidocument

Dim s as new notessession

Dim db as notesdatabase

DIm doc as notesdocument

DIm resp as notesdocument

set uidoc = ws.currentdocument

set doc = uidoc.document

set db = s.currentDatabase

set resp = db.createDocument

resp. = doc.

call resp.makeResponse(doc)

call resp.save(true, true)

and that’s it, but obviously replace with the name of the field in the two docs.

On of the coolest things about Notes development is that is has core functionality for Document - Response hierarchies built in. (at the form and view levels) You don’t need to code much at all. Just make your sure you forms are of type “Document” and “Response” and then on the second tab tell the response form how you want it to inherit the values. That means if you have a document with a field subject, and you create a response document to that where the response form also has a field “subject” the value will be filled in for you. Take a look at the design of the Discussion Forum DB for examples of this.

i already tried using formula language and inherit values and it works.

is it possible yo use lotusscript for response documents and be able to edit other fields before saving?

let’s say that :db holds the current database

response holds the responsedocument

main will hold the parent document

’ Be sure the response doc is saved

set main=db.GetDocumentByUnid(response.ParentDocumentUNID)

response.AnyFieldName=main.AnyFieldName

…

’ Save the response doc again to keep the new field values

Important Notice: You can only use this method after the responsedoc is saved!
