Onchange client script to set value on hidden variable

[CE_]

Hi,

I have a hidden field in a form that I need to set value on. Is this possible with on change script?
If variable A has answer "no" then variable B is not visible. But variable B should then be set to "abc". 
So can I use on change client script to set value on this hidden variable? I tried but got "Javascript error in your browser console".

Thanks,

Hi,

You can try to make the field visible, set the value and then hide it again.

Hello @CE_,

Yes, this is possible. 

Just you have to set variable B to "abc" before making the field hidden.

I tired this in my instance:- 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    var varOne = g_form.getValue('variable_1');

    if (varOne == 'No') {

        g_form.setValue('variable_2', 'Test');   //First set the value you want

        g_form.setDisplay('variable_2', false);  // then hide the field

    } else {

        g_form.setDisplay('variable_2', true);

    }

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

}

Please check and Mark Correct and Helpful if it really helps you.

Hi @CE_ ,

Hope you are using UI policy to do this? If variable A has answer "no" then variable B is not visible

if Yes then in the UI policy itself u can mention under script tab if condition is true then

g_form.setValue('B','abc');

Thanks,

Hi @CE_ 

If you've hidden your variable by enabling the Hidden checkbox, you can still set its value using the following code:

g_form.setValue('<variable_name>', '<value>');

The error in your browser console might be due to other causes. Can you share what you have done so far?
