Autofill Catalog Item field

[Ehab Pilloor]

Hi everyone,

I want to autofill fields for a Library Card Catalog Item in my PDI when a student is selected in Student Name field.

Following fields are to be auto populated: Email and mobile number. How to achieve this?

Hi @Ehab Pilloor 

You can use Auto Populate on variable.

Hi Ehab,

you can create a catalog client script(Onchange) for the variable set containing above variables. the below script will definitely help you fulfill your task.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading)

{

if (isLoading || newValue == '')

{

return; }

var student_ref = g_form.getReference('student_name');//get sys_id of entered student

alert(student_ref);//alert for the confirmation

g_form.setValue('mobile_phone',student_ref.mobile_phone);//set the values on catalog variables from the obtained object 

g_form.setValue('email',student_ref.email);

 }

hope this helps.
