Martin KendallParticipantHi,
Is it possible to set a record as a favourite using JavaScript?
Loving the scripting features of TapForms, and this would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks
Martin

BrendanKeymasterHi Martin,
Not at the moment. I haven’t exposed that property to JavaScript yet.
However, the next update will have it.
But right now the property is called
isFavourite
as I’m Canadian and use Canadian spelling for things when I program. But I may write a cover method for it to make it more American oriented.September 2, 2020 at 12:35 AM #41818
Martin KendallParticipantThat sounds great, though I’m more than happy with isFavourite – British English here! :-;
Looking forward to the update, thanks,
Martin

MarcusParticipantMay I make suggestions ?
– swipe between favorites would be very helpful
– Loop over all favorites, for instance “var records = favorites.getRecords()”September 10, 2020 at 11:49 AM #41908
BrendanKeymasterGood suggestion. I’d have to expose a document.getFavourites() function.

MarcusParticipantPerfect, thanks
And (please, please, please) add the possibility
to swipe between the favorites.
It‘s annoying to go back to the list to
open the next recordset ?btw.: iOS on iPhone.

FrAnkschParticipantIs this feature available in the meantime?
I’m currently looking for a way to mark the current dairy record (of “today”) as favourite automatically via script…
February 29, 2024 at 10:31 AM #50574
Daniel LeuParticipantYes it is:
console.log(record.isFavourite)

FrAnkschParticipantDaniel, thank you very much.
Since I’m a script newbie, I had a problem to set this “isRecord” property, but now after several trials, I finally figured it out.one additional question:
With my script below, I mark the current entry of my dairy (“today’s record”) greenish and as favorite.
Therefor I use a “helper calculation field” (tageseit) that calculates the difference between date of record and today (>>DAYS(X;Y)<<), which then is checked in an if query.
This is working as expected, but how can I get this calculation (of entire days) done in the script? If I calculate with date fields, I get “seconds” as result, not entire days.Thanks for your help!
my Script:
function SkriptMarkToday() {
var tageseit_id = ‘fld-6826c8b388e046c5ab5b10144fe499db’;
var tageseit = record.getFieldValue(tageseit_id);
var forcefav_id = ‘fld-aa6d11f990724703969cd07d85037f71’;
var forcefav = record.getFieldValue(forcefav_id);form.selectRecord();
if (tageseit == 0) {
record.setRecordColor(“#66DD77”);
record.isFavourite=1;
console.log(“als heute und als FAV markiert”);} else {
if (forcefav == 0) {
record.isFavourite=0;
console.log(“FAV deaktiviert”)
}
record.setRecordColor(null);
console.log(“nicht heute”);
}
form.saveAllChanges();}
SkriptMarkToday();

FrAnkschParticipantI found a solution that seems to work. I have to format the two date fields as “date only”, without time.
Is this a suitable way to do this?
var datum = record.getFieldValue(datum_id).toLocaleString().split(‘,’)[0];
var today=new Date().toLocaleString().split(‘,’)[0];
Thanks!
