Hi,

I have updated the sample and I believe this will resolve your entire scenario now. Please, give it a try and let me know if this is working fine on your end.

Basically, this is the change inside the "for" loop:

for (j = 0; j < FTEItems.length; j++) {
	if (FTEItems[j].get_text() == "Seafood") {
		FTEItems[j].unselect();
		var strValue = FTEcombo.get_currentValue();
		var newValue = strValue.replace("Seafood", newFTEName);
		FTEcombo.set_currentValue(newValue, true);
		FTEcombo.get_items().remove(FTEItems[j]);
		var item = FTEcombo.get_items().createItem();
		item.set_text(newFTEName);
		item.set_value(newFTEName);
		item.set_selected(true);
		FTEcombo.get_items().add(item);
	}
}

Thank you for your response!

I think I managed to execute the desired scenario. What you need is to provide a second argument to the "set_currentValue" method. This argument is about if the current value should be copied to the input. Basically, you were successfully updating the actual value of the control but the input was not reflecting this change.

So, your line should look like this:

FTEcombo.set_currentValue(newValue, true);

About your other issue – the “Other” checkbox not being unchecked – I am not able to reproduce this behavior. The checkbox is unchecked after executing

FTEItems[j].unselect();

I am attaching a simplified solution that demonstrates this scenario. This is not saving the new item to the database and is just updating the value in the input. In my example I use the “Seafood” item as the “Other” item in your scenario.

If you have further issues with this scenario do not hesitate to contact the Infragistics support again.

Also, if the “Seafood” item is not unchecked when running the example on your machine – please let me know.

Thank you once more for using Infragistics ASP.NET!
