Label does not get displayed when inputField is in an actionRegion

Biswajeet   June 29, 2017   No Comments on Label does not get displayed when inputField is in an actionRegion

Action Region will wrap only the input Field and not the complete pageBlockSectionItem. Place pageBlockSectionItem tags inside a pageBlockSection, which in turn should be in a pageBlock. This will provide the correct formatting.

<apex:page standardController="Campaign" showHeader="true" >
	<apex:form>
		<apex:outputPanel id="op1">
			<apex:pageBlock>
				<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2" title="Information">
					<apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
						<apex:actionRegion>
							<apex:inputField label="{!$ObjectType.Campaign.fields.Category__c.Label}" value="{!Campaign.Category__c}"> 
								<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="op1" />
							</apex:inputField>
						</apex:actionRegion>
					</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
				</apex:pageBlockSection>
			</apex:pageBlock> 
		</apex:outputPanel>
	</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Salesforce System Fields

The following fields are Salesforce system fields found on most objects. These fields are read-only and automatically updated during API operations.

Field Field Type Description
