Populate field outside MRVS with a total sum of fields inside MRVS

Hello Community,

I want to populate a field called total sum on a record producer form with a total sum of the fields inside an MRVS.

I was able to achieve this using an onSubmit catalog client script, but it only populates the data when user submits the form using submit button.

Is there any way that when user clicks on ADD button on MRVS then it populates the field outside MRVS.

hello @Suryansh Verma ,

yes its possible .Follow the below steps to do it 

1)Create simple widget like below and use the below code in client controller of the widget

In the if loop replace testing with your MVRS internal name and count with your variable back end name where you want to store the count 

sum = parseInt(sum)+parseInt(rows[i].your_field_name_to be_summed)

in the above line just replace your_field_name_to be_summed with your field name where your count values to be summed are stored

api.controller=function($scope,$rootScope) {
	/* widget controller */
	var c = this;
	$rootScope.$on("field.change", function(evt, parms) {
		var g_form = $scope.page.g_form;
		if(parms.field.name=="testing") // replace testing with the your  MVRS internal name
		{
			var rows = JSON.parse(g_form.getValue('testing'));  // replace testing with the your  MVRS internal name
var sum=0;
 for(var i=0; i<rows.length; i++)
{
sum = parseInt(sum)+parseInt(rows[i].your_field_name_to be_summed) // replace your_field_name_to be_summed with your field name where your numbers to be added are stored
}
			g_form.setValue('count',parseInt(sum)); // replace count with the variable back end name where you want to store the count of the MVRS rows
		}
		
	});
};

2)Then go to your catalog item and create. variable type called "custom" and tag your widget like below in widget field

@Mohith Devatte 

 

Thank you for the helpful post! However, there is one drawback I encountered.

 

When we delete or remove any of the records in MVRS, the total variable still reflects the original total value of all initial records. The specific value of the deleted record is not being subtracted, and the total is not updating accordingly.

 

How can we overcome this issue and ensure that the total value is recalculated correctly when records are deleted?

 

Thanks in advance.
