TypeError: api.data.gform.setValue is not a function

[Tadz]

Hi,

I'm doing a development work on UI Builder and I stumbled on this issue.

TypeError: api.data.gform.setValue is not a function

As per documentation we can setValue for the ui builder form via api -api.data.<data_resource_id>.setValue(Object payload)

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/xanadu-api-reference/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/...

However its throwing this error "TypeError: api.data.gform.setValue is not a function" when I do a try catch to check why it was not working.

Can you share your exact script?

[Tadz]

api.data.gform.setValue({fieldName: 'short_description', value: 'short description'});

The name of the controller is gform

Hi @Tadz ,

Try giving keywords in single quotes as well.

api.data.gform.setValue({'fieldName': 'short_description', 'value': 'short description'});

I believe the function is `setFieldValue`

 

try:

`api.data.gform.setFieldValue('short_description', 'short description');`
