Cap on multiple drop-down menu options

[Maryna Brodina]

Hello!
1) Please check this post https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...
2) There is no standard function to prevent user to select more than 5 items (http://api.jquerymobile.com/selectmenu/). You can do it yourself using JS. For example before sending data check how many elements are selected and if there are more than 5 - show some message and prevent sending data.

Gees! Is it so difficult for anyone to give me a tip here which is actually helpful? I understand that you must all be very busy but please I have been stuck on this issue for almost two weeks now. I have reviewed all the relevant tutorials and I have shared my app. I had already visited the links which Maryna referred me to. The guy's problem was actually different from what I face now. Moreover, you guy's did not seem to solve it for him.

If you really want to help me, please actually look at what I have shared, the components and the mapping. Then, please tell me:

1) What is wrong with my UI set up?
2) What is wrong with my mapping?
3) What is wrong with my database?

PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! If it helps, I am a paying user.

I have included my question once more below:

"I am building an app. I have set up a sign_up service. One of the sign_up requirements is for the user to select his occupation(s) using the select component. I am able to get the selected occupation to appear on the database when only one occupation can be selected. But when I enable the multiple selection feature, the user's selected occupation(s) no longer appears on the database. Please EXPLAIN how I can solve this problem. Is there something wrong with my UI, mapping or database? I have read every tutorial that may apply to this but I am yet to get a solution. I have also looked at similar topics in the support forum section."

Hello! Developers team is working on your request at the moment. We'll let you know as soon as have information.

Hi,

1) In your JavaScript1 there is an html document instead of valid JS code. Please delete it.

2) In service 'Constet1_signup_service' mapping there is a JS code for 'cb_occupationstext':preAppery("cb_occupationstext").val();/preThis is incorrect. The function returns nothing, but you're attempting to use a result in 'cb_occupationstext'.
What should you return depends on your column 'cb_occupationstext' type. That is depends on how you will use the data (for example, to create sample or to map a result easier).

If the column 'cb_occupationstext' is a String, then there should be the following code in mapping:prevar arr = Appery("cb_occupationstext").val();
if (arr && arr.length) {
return Appery("cb_occupationstext").val().join(",");
}
return Appery("cb_occupationstext").val();/pre
If it's an Array:prereturn Appery("cb_occupationstext").val();/pre
3) To choose no more than 5 points, on save button click don't call service for saving, and run JS that does the test and depending on the result either alert a warning or invoke a data saving service:prevar arr = Appery("cb_occupationstext").val();
if (arr && arr.length 5){
alert("You should select less than 5 items for Occupation");
} else {
try {
serviceName.execute({});
} catch (ex) {
console.log(ex.name + ' ' + ex.message);
hideSpinner();
};
}/preWhere serviceName is a name of service that saves data to database.
