setValue is not working HTML variable in catalog item

[Mahesh Kumar2]

I have created a HTML variable in a catalog item. I am setting hyperlinks data to variable through client script based on a dropdown value change. It used to work as expected. When i change a value in dropdown, it shows the hyperlink in that HTML variable as in second screenshot. But suddenly it's stopped working may be from past few days. I am not sure any functionality deprecated wrt HTML variable. Attaching the code as below. Please help me on resolving this.

Hi Mahesh

I tried simulating this scenario on my PDI and it is working as expected for me. Have you checked if the variable 'link' value is link only ?

Also, can you try commenting the lines containing setVisible. It might be possible that the field itself is not being visible though the value is getting set.

Hello,

I managed to solve this by creating the HTML variable with Read only = false, populate the variable with the content and then making the variable Read only by Client Script.

I hope this helps someone in the future 🙂

Hello Mahesh,
Have you figured out what the issue was? I am experiencing the same behavior.
