Populating a MIKG as Autofill(external) from a Standard Keyword in a Unity Form

[Doug_Latch]

Here is my scenario -

We have a unity form where a user enters a customer name and an autofill external script then pulls a number of key values (based on that name) from an Oracle database via a web service.  This populates a keyword called Vendor ID.

From the Vendor ID, we need to make another call to the Oracle database to bring back a list of open invoices.  The user will then select the desired invoice(s) and the result will populate a MIKG in a table.  So far, the only way that I can get the table to populate is to include the Vendor ID in the MIKG but then the first autofill script doesn't have access to the keyword.

This must be a fairly common occurrence in AR and AP scenarios, where you need to bring back a list of invoices based on a value that is outside of the MIKG.  Any suggestions?

From further clarification of the process, MIKGs were attempting to be added that referenced a Stand Alone Keyword Value that was added from an External Autofill Script.  Unfortunately, the MIKG Record was not accessible from the Autofill Script.

To achieve the business needs, a Unity Form must be used.  A Custom Action can be added that runs a Custom Action Unity Script if a specific value is found Empty.  This programmatically added RepeaterItems to the Repeater on the form as soon as the Autofill populated a value.

In this case, no SCR within the Development Backlog would apply to this case.
