Robert,
I am seeing something similar with the latest version of the esearch widget, and hopefully this will help.
When I use this code, the auto populating field works just fine.
<value prompt="Lease ID: [Ex: 2]" isvaluerequired = "false" operator="AND">LEASEID = [value]</value>
<value prompt="Lease Status: [ Auto Populate ]" isvaluerequired = "false" uniquevalsfromfield="LeaseStatu" operator="AND">LeaseStatu = '[value]'</value>
When I just use this, the field does not populate at all.
<value prompt="Lease Status: [ Auto Populate ]" isvaluerequired = "false" uniquevalsfromfield="LeaseStatu" operator="AND">LeaseStatu = '[value]'</value>
Or when I stack two auto-populated together, the second auto-populated field (in this example, Landman) does not populate.
<value prompt="Well Name (Wildcards)" isvaluerequired = "false" operator="AND">upper(F_NAME) LIKE upper('%[value]%')</value>
<value prompt="API:" isvaluerequired="false" operator="AND">API = '[value]'</value>
<value prompt="Status [ Auto Populate ]" isvaluerequired="false" uniquevalsfromfield="WellStatus" operator="AND">WellStatus = '[value]'</value>
<value prompt="Landman: [ Auto Populate ]" isvaluerequired="false" uniquevalsfromfield="Landman" operator="AND">Landman = '[value]'</value>
Please let me know if I'm just doing something incorrect, or if you need any more clarification.
Thanks for such a GREAT Widget.
