Changing Form Values

["Beeson, Ashley" <Be...@logica.com>]

Is there a way to change form variables from within a Perform method for a
different type of form?
 
I have a couple of different scenarios where I need to use this:
 
1) After doing a search on the database, one OR many rows of results can be
returned. If one row is returned then it would be desirable to not in fact
return the search results form (with only one result), but instead just go
straight to the details for that one record. The search criteria and lists
of results are stored in one form bean, and due to its complexity the
'details' on another. 
 
Within the Perform action for the search I can identify how many rows are
being returned, but I cannot work out how to mutate the original search
criteria/results form into a details form.
 
2) On the 'details' form there is a text field where the user can enter a
date for the data which they are viewing. If this date is not populated the
Action which populates the form puts the current date into the field. If an
update is performed on the 'details' jsp page it is done with a different
form, but I still need to reset the date on the 'details' form to be blank -
but I am in the Perform method  working with a different form and hence
don't have access to the field!
 
Any Ideas?
 
Thanks
