    Hello,

    I have a parent form called Clients and child form with a number field called Target. I’d like to use record.getMaxOfLinkedFieldForField(linkedFieldID, fieldID); to find the max of Target for each particular client.

    I’ve tried using different field ids in the linkedFieldID and fieldID positions and the the script will run without errors but no output is produced.

    Are others having success with this?

    Kind Regards, Dan

    Do you mind to share your script?

    Many thanks for looking Daniel. You’ll also see some comment out lines I’ve tried.

    var date_id = ‘fld-b5cc9a209ab94005862f111287a1c6e8’;
    var target_id = ‘fld-d984603583864e5fb5af42de33ff177d’;
    var change_id = ‘fld-3f28cc416bf34e9fbe70122e65fb8d22’;
    var last_first_id = ‘fld-b052524e3f814d909bdc1256d5153f51’;
    //var client_id = ‘fld-cb862ea49ea64d7c8f8fbdbf6cabd80c’;
    var min_target = record.getMinOfLinkedFieldForField(target_id, last_first_id);
    var max_target = record.getMaxOfLinkedFieldForField(target_id, last_first_id);
    //var max_lc_total = record.getMaxOfLinkedFieldForField(target_lc_id, client_id);
    var copyOfRecord = record.duplicate();
    record.setFieldValue(date_id, new Date());
    record.setFieldValue(change_id, (max_target / min_target)-1);
    document.saveAllChanges();

    Utils.alertWithMessage(‘Script Run Complete!’, ‘Cool!!!!!’);

    Hmmm… I expected to see a Field Script like this:

    var target_id = ‘fld-d984603583864e5fb5af42de33ff177d’;
    var last_first_id = ‘fld-b052524e3f814d909bdc1256d5153f51’;
    record.getMinOfLinkedFieldForField(target_id, last_first_id);

    But for your Form Script, I would check if the values you get are correct:

    console.log("min target: " + min_target);
    console.log("max target: " + max_target);

    I don’t see why you create duplicate a record and then don’t use it.

    Hi Dan,

    If you export your form template (.tff) and post it here, we can look at it and see what’s going wrong with your script.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Thank you for the idea Daniel. This application will be used only on an iPad. Unfortunately when I use field scripts they prevent my form scripts from working.

    My console.log returns “0” for min and max target.

    I will upload my form template as per Brandon. I’m sure I’m missing something simple.

    Here are the 2 involved forms. Clients and Leg Curl. A client will eventually have many Leg Curl records with varying Target amounts. I would like getMax… and getMin… functions to display least and most Target amount, as well as, percent Change. The Duplicate Exercise script is where I attempt, unsuccessfully, to do this.

    This DB is being developed on and for an iPad.

    Thank you for having a look, Dan
