xpages why my field value isn't copied correctly

Question

I add some time ago this question xpages passing the UNID to other field ... and for the moment it seems it worked.

After I created the <xe:dialog> structure ( which uses a single datasource: Pdoc ), I observed I can't get the correct UNID of the other datasource: Cdoc. This dialog is showed from the xpages having the datasource Cdoc.

On the main Xpage ( which has as the datasource: Cdoc) there is a computed field: ( txt_UNID is on a form having the formula @text(@uniquedocumentid) )

<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField3" value="#{Cdoc.txt_UNID}"></xp:text>

and a button which shows the dialog:

<xp:button value="Adding a Pdoc structure inside my dialog" id="button3"
        styleClass="lotusFormButton" refreshMode="partial" rendered="#{javascript:currentDocument.isEditable()}">

        <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
            refreshMode="partial" refreshId="computedField3">
            <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript: if ( Cdoc.isNewNote() ) { Cdoc.save();
 Cdoc.setValue("computedField3",Cdoc.getDocument().getUniversalID());
 getComponent('exampleDialog').show() }
 else
 {
Cdoc.setValue("computedField3",Cdoc.getDocument().getUniversalID());
getComponent('exampleDialog').show()}
}]]></xp:this.action>
        </xp:eventHandler>
    </xp:button>

The dialog is having the refreshOnShow set to true. Inside the dialog, there is a field ( binded to the Pdoc source ) where I want to display the UNID of Cdoc stored in the previous computed field from my main XPage:

                    <xp:inputText value="#{Pdoc.txt_CompanieUNID}"
                        id="inputText1" defaultValue="#{Cdoc.txt_UNID}">
                    </xp:inputText>

I think the problem is here ... Instead of #{Cdoc.txt_UNID}, I did tried adding getComponent("computedField3").getValue() as the default value for my above inputText, but I get an error, considering the fact, I suppose, the computedField3 isn't inside the dialog ? What am I doing wrong?

Btw, the dialog contains numerous fields ( binded to Pdoc ) having the default value:

Cdoc.<field_name>

and it works OK. I don't know why in the case of the computedField3/txt_UNID it doesn't work. Thanks for your time!

You are mixing up field name and component name. Do this in your button that shows the dialog to update the field txt_UNID with the expected value:

Cdoc.setValue("txt_UNID", Cdoc.getDocument().getUniversalID());
