Hi All,

I am trying to implement Auto Suggest picker (SuggestTextBox) on WTDocument/WTPart creation wizard in Windchill 10.1. Does anybody have done this before?

Can anyone please help me on this?

Appreciate your help.

Regards,

Shirish

I think we did something similar in one of our projects. We created a custom wizard to add additional data input fields.

if you want to auto fill user,organization or context, I remember we have it OOTB. But for custom  objects, you will have to create a suggestion class (implementing Suggestable interface) which would basically do the query. This class should be registered as a service, This service could be called from suggestTextBox wrapper tag.

Thanks

Hi Binesh,

Yes, you're correct. I followed same approach (create a Suggestion class which implements Suggestable Interface).

I am able to make IBA text field to behave like a suggestible; however when I type something in the field it spins for a while and nothing is returned as suggestions.

In the MS logs below exception is logged:

ERROR : com.ptc.mvc.controllers.ExceptionController  - message : An unexpected error has occurred.  Contact your system administrator for assistance.

In the UI it is behaving like this:

Note sure if I am missing something. I can share step-by-step instructions I followed to implement this feature.

Hello Shirsh,

Can you please share your instructions?

I rencetly worked on auto suggest and it is working for me.

One thing I need to figure out is how to add a button to the Auto Suggest field and seen in the screenshot you posted.

Thank you,

Chaitanya A. Jagdale
