set value using client script

polodre2 · ‎02-02-2024

I have a script that sets the value from another field on the form but it seems to be adding extra characters to the end.

The client script is read the Parent Agreement number and setting it in the field information:

The highlighted field should be showing the exact value from the Parent Agreement field but it adds -J001.

Hello @polodre2

Please give a try to the script below and see how it works for you.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    var choiceoption = g_form.getValue('u_art_4_2_1_dp1_fin_obl');
    var getNameValue = g_form.getDisplayValue('u_parent_agreement');

    if (choiceoption == 'No Cost Option') {
        var message = 'ARL CRADA + (' + getNameValue + ') Article 5.2.1, "No Cost Option" has been chosen for technical efforts under this JWS';
        g_form.showFieldMsg('u_art_4_2_1_dp1_fin_obl', message, 'info');
        g_form.addInfoMessage(message);
    } else if (choiceoption == 'Payment to ARL Option') {
        var message = 'ARL CRADA + (' + getNameValue + ') Article 5.2.2, "Payment to ARL Option" has been chosen for technical efforts under this JWS';
        g_form.showFieldMsg('u_art_4_2_1_dp1_fin_obl', message, 'info');
        g_form.addInfoMessage(message);
    }
}

Hi @polodre2,

I think it is taking extra value as you are using getDisplayValue('field_name'). Can you try it with getValue('field_name') method?

var getNameValue = g_form.getValue('field_name');

If my response helps you resolve your issue. Kindly mark it as helpful & correct. It will be helpful to future readers! 👍🏻
Thanks,

I used getDisplayValue because getValue was returning the sysID
