Populate a new field with Requested for value

[Mallika Bhupath]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to populate a field - "User for whom a new signature is being requested" with the same value that is on the "Requested For" field. 

Can someone please help me with the script. 

Also, I have to make the field "User for whom a new signature is being requested" read only and I have used a UI Policy. However, it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mallika

Hi @Mallika Bhupath ,

you can write Onchange client script on requested for field and use below script to set the same value.

g_form.setValue(‘new field name’, newValue);

to make read only field you can write ui policy.

Accept the solution if it helped

Hello @Mallika Bhupath 

The issue is both the fields are of different type, one is reference and the other one is single line text. In this case we cannot directly set the value from "Requested for" field to "User for whom a new signature is being requested".

Steps:

• Make both the field reference type, referencing to same table.
• create an onchange client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	g_form.setValue("user_for_whom_a_new_signature_is_being_requested",newValue);
}

• Result: 

  Note: newvalue in client script will return the sys_id

• ReadOnly can be set in form itself 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Juhi Poddar ,

Thanks for the reply. 

The script is working okay however, the field is only populating when Requested for is changed and not with the logged in user. Any way I can modify this script?

Thanks,

Hello @Mallika Bhupath 

Glad that you were able to achieve the requirements. However I have not added anything regarding logged in user as nothing was mentioned about it. If you need any help please drop your query here.
