To store value in multiline text field using array

[welcome]

Hi All,

                  I have a query in service catalog item. I have two multiline text field. In first field i am putting some values like 'test1-123'

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            'test2-456'

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              test3-789'

                  Now I want to split all these values by '-'. I want to set 'test1', 'test2' and 'test3' in one multi line text and '123' '456' '789' in another multi line text field.

                  I am able to split all the values but the problem is that I am not able to store all left side value(test1, 'test2', test3') in the first multi line text field

                  and right side value('123','456','789') in second   multi line text field.

                  Only last value which is 'test3-789' showing. that means     'test3' is coming on first   multi line text field and '789' is on second   multi line.

                                                I have done this coding in client script:-

function onLoad() {

var major = g_form.getValue('text1');

var value1=major.split('\n');

var value2=major.split(',');

alert("item length:"+value1.length);

for (var i=0; i < value1.length; i++) {

alert("Display value is: " + value1[i]);

alert("resp value length:"+value1[i].length);

resp = value1[i].split('-');

  var bs = resp[0];

  var ans1 = resp[1];

  g_form.setValue('text1', resp[0]);

  g_form.setValue('text2', resp[1]);

}

please help to resolve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi Payal,

I had the same situation where there is a date variable and I split the date and set it in some variable. Hope below code will help

var ctesForm = g_form.getValue('required_by'); //lets say i put value 12-02-2016 in this variable

var date = ctesForm.split("-");

var abc = date[0];   //this will contain 12

var xyz = date[1]; //this will contain 02

var pqr = date[2]; // this will contain 2016

now you can push these variables in any field by setValue()

Hit Like/Helpful/Correct if this helps

Thanks Chandresh.

I   tried the same code but it is applicable only when I put one value ( 'test1-123') and not for multiple values. Could you please help me for multiple values.

Below should work

function onLoad() {

var major = g_form.getValue('text1');

var value1=major.split('\n');

var value2=major.split(',');

alert("item length:"+value1.length);

var bs=[];

var ans1=[];

var resp='';

for (var i=0; i < value1.length; i++) {

resp = value1[i].split('-');

  bs.push(resp[0]);

  ans1.push(resp[1]);

}

g_form.setValue('text1', bs);

  g_form.setValue('text2', ans1);

}

Thanks Srinivas. I tried and it works fine. It is coming like that (test1,test2,test3) in first multi line text field and (123,456,789) in second multi line text field.

And i want this in this manner(in new line)

                                                            test1

                                                              test2

                                                              test3

                                                and 123(in second line)

                                                              456

                                                              789    

Can you please suggest how do I add a new line.
