    Using the many suggestions I received in these forums (thanks David) I have successfully created a custom HR11 form, which includes populating three fields with User Field data retrieved via DME. 

    Using the portal debug feature and Ctl-Alt-A, I build my first AGS update to update the EMP-EMAIL-ADDRESS field. 

    But like many who have tried, when I try to update one of the user fields, I get a Transaction complete message, but the field does not get updated. 

    I saw where someone had posted a link that includes a .js file with code to handle user fields, but the link is old and broken.

    Could someone post a current link to information on how to update HR11 User Fields via AGS?

    TIA...ChuckM

      I am finally producing an AGS string to update a single HR11 User field...the string looks like so:



      But I get a message back that says:



      Any idea what he's trying to tell me?

      TIA...ChuckM

        The UF has a list of allowed values. What you are sending in the AGS call, is not one of them.
        115 is the message number under the category HRHEU.

          Thanks,  I think I have cleaned up my code sufficiently to let the user test it.  However, before I can do that I have one problem that needs to be solved:

          My form has 5 fields that can be updated...the first is bound to EMP-EMAIL-ADDRESS.  The other four fields are not bound...they are my HR User Fields.

          The problem is that in these four un-bound fields, the system will not allow me to enter more than 6-characters...even though the field extends half-way across the screen.  I have been unable to find an option that will let me change this.

          Can someone shed some light on this?...TIA...Chuck

            Go into the Sorce tab and find the reference to your fields and adjust the field length there.
