How to Set field value based on view

[Jon M3]

Im trying to set the field Contact Type to mobile if the view being used is Mobile so I can use this field for reporting how incidents are getting entered.  It the user uses the Now Classic Mobile app I want to know it.

I have the following code in an onLoad Client Script on the Incident form but it is not working - suggestions?

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var viewName = getView();
if(viewName = "mobile"){
contact_type = 'mobile';
}
}

use below code

make sure that you are using choice list value of contact_type field and NOT label

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var viewName = getView();
if(viewName = "mobile"){


//contact_type = 'mobile';

g_form.setValue('contact_type','mobile');


}
}

try this

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
 var viewName = getView();
 if(viewName == "Mobile"){
  g_form.setValue('contact_type', 'mobile'); //make sure mobile is the correct value. 
 }
}

Please mark this correct & helpful if it answered your question.

Thanks & Regards,

I tried the code above on an the insert but does not seem to work.  Did it work for you?

[MrMuhammad]

The code I provided has worked for me. I tested on my side. You had used single "=" that is assignment operator but we need to use double "==" as we need to compare the values. I replaced accordingly and it worked.

if(viewName == "Mobile")
