Hi,

 

I have an XPage form that has a series of fields, two of which are populated using the ValuePicker custom control from the Xpages library. The fields are populated by the value picker as I can see the selected value.

 

Further down on the form I then have a button that displays a dialog (using the extension library dialog custom control). This dialog has 3 fields and a save button. The save button is coded in SSJS to create a new document using the data from the fields in the dialog as well as that of the parent Xpage. This works and creates a document with all fields populated (regardless of whether they are from the Dialog or the Xpage) except for those fields that were populated by the ValuePicker. 

 

For some reason, getComponent("fname") on those two fields keeps returning null. 

 

I have tried getValue(), getSubmittedValue(), getLocalValue(), getValueAsString, datasourcename.getItemValueAsString('fieldname') but no luck

 

If I put a button on the parent Xpage and call getComponent for either of those two fields, the value is returned correctly. 

 

Does anyone have any idea how I can get those values via the dialog?
