JavaScript Executor

Hello experts,

How can I change State using state value from the JavaScript Executor? Instead of running through all the steps to get back to towards the end, I need to test multiple ui actions - I'm trying to use ctrl+shift+alt+j in the form to go back to a previous state. Is this possible?

Something like current.state == 5; - Nothing happens when I execute.

Only client side api's work there. use g_form.setValue('state',5);

Hi Abhinay,

That changed the state but it didn't bring back the functionality such as ui actions, etc. Upon reloading the form, the state changed back from 5 to 6.

If you want to save the form you need to do this

g_form.setValue('state',5);

g_form.save();
