Math.abs not working in onChange Client Script

[Phong Lo]

I'm developing a client script in my PDI on the Incident Table. When a user changes the state to canceled (value = 8), then currency 1 field gets auto populated with the absolute value of currency 2 field. Screenshot below:

Below is my Client Script that I'm using that works because it is auto populating the value, but not the absolute value. When I add Math.abs(), what's returning is NaN. So I commented that code out. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Much thanks!

Hello @Phong Lo ,

you can try this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }
	var currency_2_value = g_form.getValue('u_currency_2').split(';');

	var absoluteValue = Math.abs(parseFloat(currency_2_value[1]));

	alert(absoluteValue);
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   
}

currency field returns value as USD;-75.46 format. So we are splitting the value using ; (semicolon)

Please mark my answer as helpful, if it helps you

Thank you

For some reason, my Math.abs() isn't working. It's still bringing up the value as NaN. Once I remove the Math.abs(), the value is -XX.XX, but not the absolute value.

Hello @Phong Lo ,

Please try above code, its working.

Math.abs() returns NaN, why because Currency field returns value as a USD;-xx:xx format. if we parse that value it returns NaN. So that we are splitting the value using semicolon (;) and taken part value which is at index 1 (USD at in index 0 and -xx:xx value at index 1).
