Change currency code of a field via script

[Berati Sahin]

Hi everyone, 

There are two currency fields. The first of them is Original Cost and the second one is Converted Cost. I want to copy the value of the first currency field, and then I want to paste the value to the second currency field. The value of the first currency field will be passed to the second currency field. I can pass the amount but I cannot change the currency code. In the Orlando release, there are several APIs for currency, but I could not them effectively. How can I set the currency code of the Converted Cost field as the Original Cost? I want to indicate that, when I update the form, the currency code of the Converted Cost field becomes "$" for a short period initially. Then it returns to again "₺".

Besides, I used these two fields for test. If I success to pass amount and currency code from original cost field to converted cost field, I will use these script in the Opportunities module.

Thank you in advance

Have a nice day 🙂

Hi,

you will have to convert USD to your another currency

after you get the converted value you need to set it like this

var currencyCode = 'EUR';

current.u_c_c.setValue(currencyCode + ";" + convertedValue);

you can set the currency like this.

Hi Asifnoor,

I tried your script with a small modification and it worked. Thank you 🙂

var a='USD;'+amount;
current.setValue("u_c_c",a);
