On the layout is not shown new value

[Pavel]

I use SetFieldValue function for setting some fields. After set value and use SaveAllChanges, new value is not displayed. On console I see new value but in layout not.
If I change value of field manually, I still see old value on console. Value is change when I close and open file. Any tips?

Hi Pavel,

Try removing that field from your custom layout and drag it back in again.

Maybe something is messed up with that specific field on your custom layout. Don’t delete the field from the Fields list of course. Just remove it from the custom layout and add it back.

Thanks,

Brendan

Also, you can have a Script Field just return its data and display it on a custom layout. You don’t have to set another field with the result just to display the result.

Hi Brendan,
I have this problem generally. Delete and replace field in layout is without effect.
Maybe I make some stupid mistake. Simply script is here:

function Fill_Match() {

var ar_lv_r1_id = ‘fld-19384a3f4f1248ea82b16a9d4eee55e0’;
var ar_lv_r2_id = ‘fld-68464406010642928be2d4722d5b73fa’;
var ar_lv_r3_id = ‘fld-a09de8a68b6a4658bb030c677341a670’;
var ar_hv_r1_id = ‘fld-15db9eb1f8be4797a7f787ee90d40d04’;
var ar_hv_r2_id = ‘fld-47295e7cae1a46d6935848285ba24c82’;
var ar_hv_r3_id = ‘fld-37dc77cbaf2941a285c76be51f14fa03’;

record.setFieldValue(ar_lv_r2_id, ‘XXXX’);
record.saveAllChanges;
console.log(record.getFieldValue(ar_lv_r2_id));
return;

}

Fill_Match();

Use either form.saveAllChanges(); or document.saveAllChanges();.

I tried all in the past but without effect

Hmmm… this works for me:

function Fill_Match() {

var ar_lv_r1_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';
var ar_lv_r2_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';
var ar_lv_r3_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';
var ar_hv_r1_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';
var ar_hv_r2_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';
var ar_hv_r3_id = 'fld-fceb89a0a96345e18d7f06d4991296a6';

console.log("Before: " + record.getFieldValue(ar_lv_r2_id));

record.setFieldValue(ar_lv_r2_id, 'XXXX');
document.saveAllChanges();
console.log("After: " + record.getFieldValue(ar_lv_r2_id));
return;

}

Fill_Match();

With the console log:

5/31/23, 7:44:24 AM / New Form / testing Fill_Match
Before: XXXXY
After: XXXX

As Daniel mentioned, there’s no record.saveAllChanges property or function. Also, without the (), that would be a property and not a function.
