How to populate a field on the form with the value of the variable on the form

[joshuacomeau]

I have a form that generates variables on the form via record producer.

The variables have the same names and values as the fields 

I am looking to populate the value of the field the same as the variable

Scenario: user fills out variables saves form and I want to populate the fields.

I am using a client script but open to suggestions current script not working:

function onSubmit() {

var clientnamevalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_client_name');
var typeofclientvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_type_of_client');
var typeofbreachvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_external_policy_breach');
var responsibleptyvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_type_of_breach');
var breachindividualvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_breach_individual');
var laepvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_laep');
var laeplocvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_laep_location_static');
var sourceofincidentvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_source_of_incident');
var breachcategoryvalue = g_form.getValue('variables.u_risk_consultations');

var clientnamefield = g_form.getValue('u_client_name');
var typeofclientfield = g_form.getValue('u_type_of_client');
var typeofbreachfield = g_form.getValue('u_external_policy_breach');
var responsibleptyfield = g_form.getValue('u_type_of_breach');
var breachindividualfield = g_form.getValue('u_breach_individual');
var laepfield = g_form.getValue('u_laep');
var laeplocfield = g_form.getValue('u_laep_location_static');
var sourceofincidentfield = g_form.getValue('u_source_of_incident');
var breachcategoryfield = g_form.getValue('u_risk_consultations');

g_form.setValue(clientnamefield, clientnamevalue);
g_form.setValue(typeofclientfield, typeofclientvalue);
g_form.setValue(typeofbreachfield, typeofbreachvalue);
g_form.setValue(responsibleptyfield, responsibleptyvalue);
g_form.setValue(breachindividualfield, breachindividualvalue);
g_form.setValue(laepfield, laepvalue);
g_form.setValue(laeplocfield, laeplocvalue);
g_form.setValue(sourceofincidentfield, sourceofincidentvalue);
g_form.setValue(breachcategoryfield, breachcategoryvalue);

}

Hi @joshuacomeau 

You can try something like in this format:

 g_form.setValue('u_client_name', g_form.getValue('variables.u_client_name'));

and please add for other variables too in the above manner.

It will work but since the variable is a list collector with a variable attribute acting as a list collector 

and the field is a list collector

if the variable has only 1 value it will populate the field 

with more then 1 value it will populate the first value and then afterwards show random numbers that do not look like sysids but could be sysids

thoughts but on a simple 1 value this solution is perfect!
