Help with simple script

[Michael Tucker]

I have fields just two fields that need to operate in a form….

ShareSell$Amt (numeric, id:fld-89c6961ad2ec43e8853ff13e052fc807)
NextRung$Amt (calculation, id:fld-276de1515a7c4054b9df9410cbbefd29)

I just want after a find of the fields involved, to run a script to
read in the first found record field NextRung$Amt,
move to the next record and insert that read amount into field ShareSell$Amt,
then continue thru the found set of records.

The first record has the beginning ShareSell$Amt that is calculated in the record as NextRung$Amt.

The function I’m looking for — is that number from the field NextRung$Amt is picked up and put into the next record’s ShareSell$Amt, and that makes that record calculate a new NextRung$Amt, which is picked up and put into the next record, then on until records in the found set run out.

This script just stops on the first record, so it needs something.

function Calc_NextRung_LADDER4() {
	let balance = 000000;
	var nextrung_id = 'fld-276de1515a7c4054b9df9410cbbefd29';
	var newsharesell_id = 'fld-89c6961ad2ec43e8853ff13e052fc807';
	//var transaction_date_id = 'fld-2567fc59b0ce45f982f2fe2d20eb0d79';
	//need a saved find 'Calc_Balances LADDER4'
	//Sam Moffatt, Tap Forms Forum, 10/21/2019 #37289
	
	for(record of form.getSearchNamed('Calc_Balances LADDER4').getRecords())
	{
		balance += record.getFieldValue(nextrung_id);
		record.setFieldValue(newsharesell_id, balance);
	}
	document.saveAllChanges();
}

Calc_NextRung_LADDER4();

In the screenshot, this set has 8 records or “rungs”. Theoretically the script would populate the 7 following rungs or records after the amount is first set to begin in the first record.

Thanks for those that make these things easy for those of us who infrequently dabble in scripts,
Mike

Hi Michael,

I added back-ticks around your code so it’s easier to read.

That looks like it should work. But record is a keyword that means to use the currently selected record. In the script I would change record to rec or something like that. See if that solves the problem.

Thanks,

Brendan
