Need help with lab 4.2b of the ADF course

[toddthigpen]

For the Application Development Fundamentals On Demand Course, I created the "Set Scratchpad Values" business rule as shown below in the course documentation for the Module 4 lab 4.2b on Scripting, but the rule isn't working properly.

I added the following code to troubleshoot and received the error shown below.

I tried to debug by setting a breakpoint at line 4 and executing using the Loaner Request record shown above.  The Script Debugger first indicated the "requested for" for the Current1 Local instance wasn't found but then showed as follows.

Can someone advise why this is and how to resolve?

Could this issue be due to timing?

Thank you.

Hi @GlideFather .

Yes, I did delete the original value and entered the content using the SetScratchpadValues macro as stated in the lab instructions.   After testing per the lab instructions, I saw that the 'Location to be used' field in the Loaner Request form wasn't populated as per the 'Requested for' user selected. I added the try/catch statements to verify the City and Country fields were being passed to the 'Set Loaner Request' client script.  It appears that they are not.

To verify again, I just removed my code and entered it again using the macro.  I also verified that this Business Rule is configured to execute when display.

As shown below, the 'City' and 'Country' fields are populated for the user but the '' field isn't populated in the Loaner Request record.

Please advise.

Thanks.

To check again, I just removed my code and tried again with the code provided by the macro.  I also confirmed that type is 'display.'

As shown below, the 'Location to be used' field in the Loaner Request form isn't populated per the City and Country fields for the selected 'Request for' user.

Did you create client script that would use scratchpad values ?

To validate the lab, you need to follow the section 'Testing the Business Rule and Client Script' thoroughly. 

Go to sys_user.LIST in list view and add fields 'City' and 'Country Code' from personalize list view. Take a sample user and set 'City' and 'Country Code' values.

Go to loaner request table in list view, add 'Requested for' and 'Location to be used' fields from personalize list view.  From the list view, set 'Requested for' value for a sample record [this is on list view and NOT on form view] and save the changes. Open the record in form view and it should display 'Location to be used'.

Because my lab instance expired, I reperformed all of the labs and the testing for lab 4.2b was successful.  Now the 'Location to be used' field is populating as per the 'Requested for' user.

I'm not sure what went wrong before.
