    Hi,

    I am currently interested with the scripting capability of TapForms to apply on my workflow. I would like to ask for help or maybe scripting samples for this conditions:

    1. To Create a New Record.
    2. To Put the Current Date in a Date Field.

    (Much better if I am able to have a prompt to input details to specific fields [e.g. date, week number, etc.])

    Thank you so much for your help on my learning journey. :)

    Check out the Scripts page of the v5.3 manual. It gives a sample of the Prompter() function which seems to be what you are looking for.

    Hi Aeron,

    Also along with Ron’s suggestion, there is a var newRecord = form.addNewRecord() function you can call to create a new record. Then you can use the Prompter() class to ask the user to input data that you can then fill in your newRecord variable with.

    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot. I kinda figured out already the Add New Record. Although I’m still confused with the prompter. I was able to execute the prompts, but the problem is that I could not fill the input datas to specific fields.
