Set recurring price of choice list in onChange client script

[Hannah C]

Hello,

I have a select box variable called data_amount

There are options 1, 10, 100, and other.

When other is selected, a text box called other_amount appears where the user can enter a number. When they enter the number here, I want to update the recurring price field on the choice other. Does anyone know how to do that?

Slightly updated + tested in my personal developer instance. Instantly works!

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind records,

Thanks Mark! But won't that be changing the price on the request after the request is submitted? I want to change the price on the question_choice table so that it updates the cart in the portal before the request is submitted.

Well you could of course update the choice, but that would impact all future request if the recurring price is applicable by default and you not updating thru other_amount selection.

Also updating the choice value could have a collision if somehow two requests are entered on almost the same time. User A has other_amount 560, User B enters 5 seconds later other_amount 15000, then User A submits... 

Kind regards,
Mark

I am not sure what to do because the example you provided creates a new recurring price record and is after the request is created. I am trying to update the price shown in the cart before a request is submitted/created. So I want to update the recurring price field that already exists...
