Client side use of applyTemplate() after upgrading to Jakarta

[jkc]

You can apply a template in a client script doing this:

applyTemplate(template_sys_id);

But after upgrading to Jakarta this does not work.

I know that it would not work on the new portals, but I did not expect it not to work in my record producers displayed in "old" portals and in "back end".

Anyone who has a solution to this??

Hi Jan,

i can`t confirm this isn`t working.

We`re using this in an onLoad script to complete some form details when the form loads in backend and it`s working fine in Jakarta (patch 3) as it did before in Helsinki.

So maybe there`s an issue with the templates or the setup eventually?

I know - not a solution - but at least it doesn`t seem to be broken 😉

e.g. usage in our case:

var de = sys_id_for_germany;

applyTemplate(de);

This fills all the form fields as defined in the template   on load - just as it should.

Regards!

I had another client script, with same order, that made the form read-only. Hence it did not fill out the fields.

Once i disabled the read-only functionality, it worked.

Thanks for the answer..
