populated fields with source data

[ServNowDev]

is there a way to populated data , same fields but different sections, for instance i have two sections with the same field the infomation section i want to populate with the original data that comes in and the others can change as needed so i want the orginal departure date that came in to stay the same if the date changes i only want it to change on the top departure date.

I am not sure why do you want to store the actual data, but here is the way

1) Create a new field on target table say "actual_data"

2) Check the run script of transform map and In the run script of transform map, mention like this:

var data = {};
data.destination = source.u_destination;
data.departure_date = source.u_departure;
data.arrival_date = source.u_return;
target.actual_data = JSON.stringify(data);

If you want to hide this field on target table, you can write the UI policy on that to make it hidden

Now you have the data stored, in future if you want to use it in client script, you can read it as 

g_form.getValue("actual_data");

and in business rules as 

current.actual_data

I hope you understand the concept!

Can you update the script as below 

var data = {};
data.destination = source.u_destination + "";
data.departure_date = source.u_departure + "";
data.arrival_date = source.u_return + "";
target.actual_data = JSON.stringify(data);

Also please use the proper backend name of the fields (whatever the backend names of fields in source table).
