gsftSubmit() Name

[JoanaFernandes]

Hi there!

I've come across gfstSubmit() while studying for the Client-Side UI Actions and I don't understand what does the acronym stands for. Could someone help with this?

Thank you!

I don't think it has any full form - gs may be for Glide system,

Hi @JoanaFernandes 

gsftSubmit(String control, Object form, String action_name)

Submits a form as if the user had clicked a UI Action after checking for required fields and executing onSubmit() client scripts. Enables calling client-side code and server-side code and in a single UI action.

When to Use

• When you need to submit a form and handle the response without navigating away from the current page.
• When you want to perform specific server-side actions based on user inputs or selections on the form.
