Copy the value of a variable to a read only variable on the same catalog item

Cat · Tuesday

Hi All,

I have a catalog item where there are 2 variables - article_name and article_name2.

article_name2 is a read only variable (single line text)

article_name is a single line text variable.

When the users fills in the article_name variable, I want the system to automatically populate article_name2 with the same information.

I have tried the following as a catalog client script, but it doesn't populate the field:

function onSubmit() { 
    var articleName = g_form.getValue('article_name');
    
    if (articleName) {
        // Set the value of the variable
        g_form.setValue('article_name2', articleName);
    }
    return true;
}

Is anyone able to help me achieve this?

Thank you

Hi,

I would start by changing the logic to happen as an onChange Client script (have it interact on change of the first variable article_name).
Then the user can see the results before the form is submitted.

and in the script you would only need to do the setValue-part, and use the newValue input as basis, like this:

g_form.setValue('article_name2', newValue);

Hello @Cat

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading) {
      return;
   }
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   g_form.setValue('article_name_readonly',newValue);
}
