Bug report: Can’t find variable: record

[Marcus]

Since I‘ve installed 5.3.8 (968):

A simple script to read a field value runs in the following error by executing Run – Script (record view):

ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: record, column: x, line: y

When I execute this script in the „edit mode“ it runs without any issues.

function Test() {
var title_id = 'fld-76b2c64fccc34c20b62b7d485f5bfa28';
var result=record.getFieldValue(title_id);
console.log(result)
}

Test();

Hi Marcus,

I just tested this out and it’s working for me. I first tested in my latest development build that I’ve made enhancements to the scripting engine. But then I tested it using the production version 5.3.8 and it also worked.

Make sure you have a record selected in your form before you run the script.

Hi Brendan,
it occurs when a record is selected.

The script below doesn‘t run in this error
when I execute it during edit the script.
It returns the title field value,
but it doesn’t change the color as well.

It occurs on iOS 13.2.3 (iPhone)

function Test() {

var title_id = 'fld-f7c25ccc01564c308c96fa08ca0da768';

var result=record.getFieldValue(title_id);
  
var color='0xFFFEFB00'
record.setRecordColor(color);

var color = record.getRecordColor();

console.log(result)
console.log(color)

}

Test();

To clarify “record is selected” on iOS, does that mean you’re in the list view or the record detail/edit view? record isn’t set on the list view, only on the detail/edit view.

[Marcus]

I know the difference ?
I am speaking about the record edit mode.

Have a look, I made a quick screen record:

It is reproducible on an old iPhone 6 as well.

[Brendan]

Ok. Thanks for the video. Now I see the problem with my code there.

I was accidentally passing in the wrong variable to my runScript method. I recently refactored it and mistyped the parameter name when called on the record details screen.

The next update will have it fixed.

Before when I tested it and it worked, it was because I was using the Mac version and didn’t notice that you were using the iOS version.

[Marcus]

Glad to hear ?

Thanks, Brendan.

I can confirm it has been fixed in 5.3.8 (972).
Thanks again.
