I want to add a text box that displays the vendor ID for the user and, in the background (data), saves the vendor number.

This is usually done with a combo box. The combo box has a display value property, and a different value to save for the record.

Although a combo box is typically used for this purpose, in this particular case, I would like to implement a text box to allow the user to search for the supplier ID. However, it is important to note that when saving the data, the supplier number should be stored instead of the ID.Do you know how it is implemented?

I am not sure how you would do this in Kinetic without a combo box. I am sure it is possible.

You would need to two fields on the screen. Bind the search/input to a callcontext variable and then in a method directive on Update set the VendorID

You could do the reverse on GetByID so the user could see the name or just add two fields.

I actually do this for customer ID, but I do it with a combo

[Marwa_Mohamed]

Can you explain me more and with the steps

[gpayne (Greg Payne)]

Why do you want to make something a combo already does?

These two fields are bound to the customer ID

When the drop down is set the value shows up in the other one. EpiMagic takes care of the rest of the work.
