For loop is saving only the last iterated value.

Hi All,

I am trying to copy the array of details I am receiving from JSON, while copying them to work notes field I am able to copy only the last iterated value from for loop. Please look in the below details.

Thanks in Advance.

var survey = parsedData.Survey;
var arrSurveyResult = parsedData.Survey.SurveyResult;

    var userType = parsedData.Survey.userType;
            var userName = parsedData.Survey.user;
            if(Array.isArray(arrSurveyResult)){
                for(var a=0; a< arrSurveyResult.length; a++){
                    var Question1 = arrSurveyResult[a].Question;
                    var Answer1 = arrSurveyResult[a].Answer;
                }
                rec.work_notes = userType+':'+userName +'\n'+'Post CallSurvey:'+'\n'+'\n'+ 'Question) '+Question1 +
                '\n'+'Answer) '+Answer1;
                    rec.update();
            }

That is expected right?

Since in your for loop, you are just storing the values of the variables, once the loop terminates, it will only give you the value of last iteration.

You can probably add one string variable in the for loop, and start concatenating that in the for loop and use that string to add in the work notes.

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Will be helpful for future visitors looking for similar questions 🙂

Hi,

update as this

var survey = parsedData.Survey;
var arrSurveyResult = parsedData.Survey.SurveyResult;

var userType = parsedData.Survey.userType;
var userName = parsedData.Survey.user;

var arr = [];

if(Array.isArray(arrSurveyResult)){
	for(var a=0; a< arrSurveyResult.length; a++){
		var Question1 = arrSurveyResult[a].Question;
		var Answer1 = arrSurveyResult[a].Answer;
		
		var str = userType+':'+userName +'\n'+'Post CallSurvey:'+'\n'+'\n'+ 'Question) '+Question1 +
		'\n'+'Answer) '+Answer1;
		
		arr.push(str);
	}
	rec.work_notes = arr.toString();
	rec.update();
}
