I'm using 7.10.4 and installed nuPicker 1.7.0. I have a page whose intention is to allow an admin to enter in a bunch of promo codes and associate them with custom discount codes and derived values (soliciation codes, etc.). i'm using a single node with a list of Archetype datatypes. For each Archetype datatype, there are three properties: 1 is the text-entry for the promocode. 2nd is a type-ahead nuPicker that returns all custom discountCodes we have in a database. 3rd is a typeahead nuPicker for what we call a solicitation code that is also pulled from our database. my problem is to get the solicitation code list, i need to submit the previously selected Discount code from the 2nd step.
i'm using dotNet typeahead selector and putting my code in an appcode file. i see my appcode file has the nodeId submitted in. however, my one nodeId (doc) could have over a hundred Archetype objects on it, each with their own promocode/discountcode/solicitationcode combos. I'm wondering if there is a way to identify which nuPicker is being used on a page (a unique id or something?) so i can search the doc for nearest discountcode or do i need to write a custom datatype for all this.
well, still didn't solve teh above problem directly. Just to move my project forward, I opted for a 'master' doctype that has a bunch of children (the master will display children in custom listview). Each child node has only a single instance of the nuPickers on it. I can then use the contextId (nodeId) to go and get previously saved values.
Requires my discount admin to enter in a DiscountCode then save the page. Then any other nuPickers can use that value to populate their own lists. Not perfect but good enough.
NuPicker with Archetype - Using value from another nuPicker to drive typeahead content of different nupicker
Hey all, Hopefully this is an easy question.

Thanks for any pointers!
