Add picklist values apex
Hi,
I need to create a visualforce page to allow some users without admin rights to add values to a picklist.
I have this VF code :
And this APEX code :
The value is added in the picklist but it is inactive. Can you help me to set the new value active by default ?
Thanks for the help.
I need to create a visualforce page to allow some users without admin rights to add values to a picklist.
I have this VF code :
<apex:page controller="dynamicpicklist" sidebar="false" > <apex:form > <apex:sectionHeader title="Dynamic Picklist" subtitle="Reusable code"/> <apex:pageblock > <apex:pageBlockSection title="Dynamic picklist" columns="1"> <apex:pageblocksectionItem > <apex:outputlabel value="Picklist" for="values" /> <apex:selectList value="{!test}" size="1" id="values"> <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="newvalue" /> <apex:selectOptions value="{!picklistnames}"/> </apex:selectList> </apex:pageblocksectionItem> <apex:outputpanel id="newvalue"> <div style="position:relative;left:75px;"> <apex:outputlabel value="New value" for="newval" /> <apex:inputText value="{!newval}" id="newval"/> <apex:commandbutton action="{!saverec}" value="Add!"/> </div> </apex:outputpanel> </apex:pageblocksection> </apex:pageblock> </apex:form> </apex:page>
And this APEX code :
public class dynamicpicklist { public List<SelectOption> statusOptions { get;set; } public String test{get; set;} public List<SelectOption> getpicklistnames() { Schema.DescribeFieldResult statusFieldDescription = Case.Test__c.getDescribe(); statusOptions = new list<SelectOption>(); for (Schema.Picklistentry picklistEntry : statusFieldDescription.getPicklistValues()) { statusOptions.add(new SelectOption(pickListEntry.getValue(),pickListEntry.getLabel(), false)); } return statusOptions; } public String newval{get; set;} public void saverec() { Case newrec = new Case(Test__c=newval); insert newrec; newval=NULL; } }
The value is added in the picklist but it is inactive. Can you help me to set the new value active by default ?
Thanks for the help.
Your meathod (saverec) is inserting new values into a picklist field for a specific record (Case newrec). It is not making any meta data changes. You would have to consume metadata API to make updates to fields.
