list input
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Defines a column as a text input.
o
The list-input macro is added to the checklist macro to define an input column for the list.
o
Edit the list-input macro to add the name of the column heading.
o
The list-input macro can be configured to store the input column list values either:
on the page listed in the row of the entered value.
on the current page of the checklist.
The default entry value is 20 characters maximum.Â
The list-input macro can also be configured to display values as read-only.
o
This is useful when the macro is added to other content but you only want the column list values to be edited on a specific page(s) with the added macro. The column values storage needs to be set to be on the row pages.
The macro allows the column values to be sorted by a number of entry types including
string (S)
integer (I)
date (D)
You can also set the column as already sorted (A) to prevent sorting the list on this input column.
The column values are stored as metadata values (see storage type parameter in the table below).
