How to get the display value of the String field (Client Script)

d-aizawa · ‎03-07-2022

Hi.

I Created Client Script.

When the first 2 digits of the display value of the test field is ZZ, the process of setting the value of the main field to other is described.

But, it doesn't work.

Because getDisplayValue ('field_name'). Value can only use Reference Type fields.

Is there a g_form to get the displayed value of String Type(Setting Choice)?

Thank you!

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    var string = g_form.getDisplayBox('test').value;
    if (string.indexOf('ZZ') !== 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'other');
    } else if (string.indexOf('91') !== 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'internal');
	}
}

I've created a field name "u_test" with label "New Choice" on an incident form.

Created a onChange script on Field "New Choice"

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }
    var value = g_form.getValue('u_test');
    var text = g_form.getOption('u_test', value).text;
    alert("getOption:" + text);
}

Execution result when Choice 1 is selected.

Hi @d-aizawa

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    var vString = g_form.getDisplayValue('test').toString();
    if (vString.indexOf('ZZ') != 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'other');
    } else if (vString.indexOf('91') != 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'internal');
	}
}

Please check and Let us know.

Thanks 🙂

Thank you answering my question ! But, getDisplayVaue gets the record ID (number) of Incident. Is there any other good way?

Need to do the following to get display of choice field named "test".

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    var string = g_form.getValue('test').value;
    var text = g_form.getOption('test', string).text;
    if (text.indexOf('ZZ') !== 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'other');
    } else if (string.indexOf('91') !== 0) {
        g_form.setValue('main', 'internal');
	}
}

Thank you answering my question ! The following error is output. onChange script error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'text') function () { [native code] }
