Hello,
I need your advice about this project.
The final result should be simple: a pdf file containing selected data and info retrieved from database. The problem is how to do it in a very easy way for all users involved in this process.
Think to a list of subscriptions. Each subscription will have almost 70% of form fields common with other subscriptions. But the rest of 30% it could mean another 5 or 10 new fields for each subscription. Having over 1200 subscriptions and new ones added every month...soon i will have a huge form and a big problem with performance for this form.
So i was thinking to re use fields for each subscription. I should have only a list of 25-30 fields, lets call them F1, F2...F25
Depending of what user will select(service (a list of main services) -> subscription class (subscriptions will be grouped in classes) -> desired subscription), it should autofill the fees in fields starting with F1. To make it easy for them, users will use "Repeat group" option to add more subscriptions to the same pdf file.
First problem encountered: how can i dynamically change the label of F1, F2 etc. in form, so Editors and Users to know what value they can add/modify (yes, the editors should complete values in another form in back-end for those fields, and users should be able to edit filled values) for F1, F2 etc.?
I hope i was clear of what i need to get at the end, it's a little confused for me too
Of course, any ideas are more than welcome
Thank you
