Is it possible to update the fields value based on other fields value change using onCellEdit() client script?

[Tejaswini Moha1]

Hi all,

I have i doubt, can we change the value of some field based on other field value change using oncellEdit() client script?

For example, if i change the value in short description, can i add old short description to description.. such kind of senario is possible using onCellEdit()?

Thanks and regards,

Tejaswini.

Hi Tejaswini,

in general, you may want to use the setValue method of GlideForm:

The oldValues parameter of the onCellEdit method contains the previous values of the field being edited.

Does this help?

Hi Adriantoth,

Thank you for the reply.

I tried with GlideForm setValue(), but it is not working as the method works on form view.

Hi Tejaswini,

Very less documentation is available for onCellEdit

better for such type of scenario use before update business rule it would work when you edit something in list as well

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
