How to append text to the value entered on variable?

[Ashwini Jadhao]

I have a variables called Department and Sub Department.The requirement is append .sub  to the value entered on Department. It should be on form load.

Eg Department is Computer then Sub Department should be Computer.sub

I have written script as below but it is not working.It shows undefined.

function onLoad() {
var control = g_form.getControl('department');
var tm = control+'.sub';
control.onkeyup = myCustomFunction; 

function myCustomFunction() {
g_form.setValue('subDepartment', tm.value);
}
}

Hi,

what type of field is department and Sub Department?

Is Department auto-populated on form load or you would require onchange client script in department field?

both are single line text variables.

I need it like when user type department at that time sub department get replicated with .sub

Hi,

I would recommend using onChange script for this; I don't think it would happen simultaneously

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading) {
return;
}

if(newValue == '')
g_form.clearValue('sub_department');

var abc = g_form.getValue('department');

g_form.setValue('sub_department', abc + '.sub');

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

It gives me output as undefined.sub

Hi,

can you alert the value of department; is the field name correct?

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading) {
return;
}

if(newValue == '')
g_form.clearValue('sub_department');

var abc = g_form.getValue('department');

alert('department is: ' + abc);

g_form.setValue('sub_department', abc + '.sub');
