Scripting

Is there a way that I don't see or understand to save form selections in (for example) Picking Sheet Printing? There is a custom form code being used that we would like to hard-code a UDF value for selection, but the value will not save from print to print. If this can't be done via interface, is it possible with a script, and if so, how to do it?

As long as you don't use ""Standard"", the settings used the last time should be preserved.

Sorry, I need to clarify the ""Selections"" section at the bottom of the form screen do not save for the custom form codes.

Hmm... I've seen it work for custom report settings (preserving the grid selections), but after a quick test apparently this does not work for form codes.

I have never tried what you are looking for, but I wonder if it might be possible to edit the settings in MAS_System\SY_ReportOption.M4T.

Unfortunately, the selections starting with Order Number at the bottom of the form printing screen are not available in SY_ReportOption.

In my experience, criteria in the Group Selection are not overridden by MAS and can be used to isolate records as well as groups. So, try putting your hard-coded UDF expression in as a Group Selection formula.

When set for a report, the values are stored in SY_ReportSelection... but not for forms. Having the selection / filter done by the RPT is a good idea as a work-around.

I know I can do this via the report itself, but that doesn't prevent it from being selected and therefore toggling the ""Pick Sheet Printed"" field. That's why I was hoping to hard-code this selection to the form code somehow.

if you are on version 2015 and above, this can be done with a UI post load script. i think i have a working script somewhere...
