I have a list that contains a collection of wrapper class instances called tacList. The wrapper class effectively contains a checkbox which relates to a case field and a string. The string is not related to a case field but instead is intended to hold a comment for updating the case field which will later be posted to chatter. For some reason, the string value is not coming back into the apex class when I debug the response.

The wrapper fields: fieldPath, fieldLabel, fieldValue and field value all return the expected values. TaskComment is either null or blank.

Can anyone help? ...Thanks

  • Can we see the associated VF page code that's calling this class? Jul 16, 2018 at 13:02

Your calling your getTheList() method everytime in your apex:input tags, and therefore any changes you make are not calling the tacList variable's setter.

I would suggest using the list variable itself in your VF code (i.e. replace all your TheList[i] with tacList[i]) and put all the initialization code from getTheList() into your constructor OR lazy initialize in the getter of the variable itself:

public List <TaskAndComment> tacList {
    get {
        if (tacList == null) {
            tacList = new List<TaskAndComment>();
            // the rest of the initialization code
        }
        return tacList;
    }
    set;
}

  • Brian thanks so much for your input. I tried both of your ideas but unfortunately neither worked. I ended up rebuilding both the page and the extension from scratch and realised that the problem was caused by the "render=IF!TheList... " in the VF page. Once I removed these the comments came striaght through. Presumably they were moving the values to the output text in the second table or something. Anyway your effort and time was much appreciated. All the best

Issue solved by removing

rendered="{!IF(!TheList[i].fieldValue=true,true,false)}"/>

from the VF page and instead passing in two lists from the controller.
