Flex field on OAF Page

 

Set default values to flex field in OAF programmatically

Business requirement
When you navigate to create new vacancy page from i-recruitment you will see below screen. When user select value from BCN pick list then other values should get defaulted like vacancy type, Organization, job title of flex field segments.
To achieve above requirement I used below code in custom controller which will attach fire action to the pick list and in processFormRequest it will assign values to the another segments of flex field
