Method Details
-
getOptions
This will get the option values "Opt".For a choice field the options array can either be an array of text strings or an array of a two-element arrays.
The method always only returns either the text strings or, in case of two-element arrays, an array of the first element of the two-element arraysUse
getOptionsExportValues()
andgetOptionsDisplayValues()
to get the entries of two-element arrays.- Returns:
- List containing the export values.
-
setOptions
This will set the display values - the 'Opt' key.The Opt array specifies the list of options in the choice field either as an array of text strings representing the display value or as an array of a two-element array where the first element is the export value and the second the display value.
To set both the export and the display value use
setOptions(List, List)
- Parameters:
displayValues
- List containing all possible options.
-
setOptions
This will set the display and export values - the 'Opt' key.This will set both, the export value and the display value of the choice field. If either one of the parameters is null or an empty list is supplied the options will be removed.
An
IllegalArgumentException
will be thrown if the number of items in the list differ.- Parameters:
exportValues
- List containing all possible export values.displayValues
- List containing all possible display values.- See Also:
-
getOptionsDisplayValues
This will get the display values from the options.For options with an array of text strings the display value and export value are the same.
For options with an array of two-element arrays the display value is the second entry in the two-element array.- Returns:
- List containing all the display values.
-
getOptionsExportValues
This will get the export values from the options.For options with an array of text strings the display value and export value are the same.
For options with an array of two-element arrays the export value is the first entry in the two-element array.- Returns:
- List containing all export values.
-
getSelectedOptionsIndex
This will get the indices of the selected options - the 'I' key.This is only needed if a choice field allows multiple selections and two different items have the same export value or more than one values is selected.
The indices are zero-based
- Returns:
- List containing the indices of all selected options.
-
setSelectedOptionsIndex
This will set the indices of the selected options - the 'I' key.This method is preferred over

for choice fields which- do support multiple selections
- have export values with the same value
Setting the index will set the value too.
- Parameters:
values
