g_form.setValue not working on Variable set

[Jeffce]

I have the below script set to run on load to automatically set a selectbox, it does not seem to be working, Does anyone know if this will not work on a variable set? I only have two choices available Values 1 and 2

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

g_form.setValue('install_group',2)  

}

Hi,

try this:

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

      g_form.setValue('variables.install_group',2)

}

Hi ,

use variables or variable_pool object and then use to set value to particular variable set variable .

[Dan_Berglin]

If the choice value is an int:

g_form.setValue("variables.install_group", 2 )

If the choice value is a string:

g_form.setValue("variables.install_group", "2")

If the target field is a reference I would also recommend specifying the displayvalue in order to avoid extra server call.

g_form.setValue("variables.install_group", "sys_id", "displayValue")

Like others are saying, the variable name is probably the issue.   Try just alerting on it to see what you get?

alert(g_form.getValue('install_group'));

Does it pop up undefined or blank?   If it does the variable name is probably the issue.
