When changing form field value through API, JavaScript not fired

[stephen.starr]

Hello, I am using v319 of the SDK and I searched the forums but did not find anything related.

I have a form that has a field with a calculation JavaScript. If I programatically set the field value using SetValueText() the JavaScript is not fired. If I manually change the value in the form it is fired.

After calling SetValueText I am also calling InvalidatePages and FireFieldChangedEvent.

Do I need to do something special to get the JavaScript to fire?

Attached you will find the form (but note that the first field's label says hidden when it really isn't - ignore that). The JavaScript is on the first field.

Thank you,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,

You can use this JS to do what you need:

Code: Select all

this.getField("RX.UniqueID").value = "abs"

Cheers,

Alex,

At first I misunderstood... but using the JavaScript to set the value rather than using the SetValueText method does seem to fire off the JavaScript I expect.

Thank you for your help,
Stephen
