I want to select a list of records using a checkbox and then when I press the run button, I want to have an input field for the value that I want to change to. Maybe even select those choices (a dropdown?) from a table in the database. How can I put an input field on a run button?
You can. Your best bet is to pass selectd records to a control app for example, do what you need and ask the values you want, and return again if needed.
The run button will trigger an event on each and every record you have selected. Therefore I would set the application up in a way that you first enter the value and then select the records to run. You can even force this sequence by using macro’s to show the buttons / fields depending on state.
