Copy Value from a string field into an integer field and add Zeros

Hi,

 

I am trying to copy value from a string field to an integer field (both are on the same table).

 

Script (calculated field)

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {

// Add your code here current.u_poste_commande_achat_classement
var number = current.u_poste_commande_achat;
gs.log("Avant : " + number);
	
if(number < 100){
	//number = number.toString().padStart(3, '0');
	number = ("0" + number).slice(-3);
}

gs.log("Après : " + number);
return number;  // return the calculated value

})(current);

 

In the log it appears correctly with the 0 add to 30

But in the field, it does not work.

I am not fully sure but i think that the calculated field does not store the value in the database,  It does calculation on the fly and dispalys. When you use sort, it work works on the underlying database values and not the calculated ones.

Hi,
Your custom field is string type.
Sorting in string works in a different way.

Well that's all my problem here.

 

I have a custom field that is string type and another custom field that is integer type.

I need to copy the value from the string field to the integer field and transform it in integer so i can sort the values correctly.

Hi,
You can copy the string field to integer field and apply the sorting on integer one.
Also use the radix as well parseInt(0090,10)==90.

Well my problem is that it does not working. The integer field does not behave like it should.
