Forgive the simple question, but how can I pass a value into a control via an Action.
What I'm trying to achieve is to display a message popup with two buttons, and depending on the button pressed, I then want to populate a control value:
<xf:action observer="Message1-control" event="DOMActivate">
<xf:label>Alert Button</xf:label>
<xf:message>You pressed the Message 1 button</xf:message>
<!-- Here is where we want to write the value back to a control -->
</xf:action>
I've tried all sorts of synyax, but I'm struggling to get it right
I make demo form for you https://demo.orbeon.com/demo/fr/orbeon/builder/edit/2e978a87be5ce4112d9b008dd481ae935040861c
I use xxf:show and xxf:dialog to show modal popup with two controls. In button in modal I use xf:setvalue to propagate value from input and xxf:hide to hide window.
