Update hidden field when submit/edit a form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jwnz 111

When edit and submit a form, how to update a hidden field (not on the form)'s value based on another field's value changing on the form?

 

For example, there is a Feedback table includes the below two fields:

Feedback Details: text

Feedback Details Updated: true/false

 

If a user open the feedback on the edit form, and changed the Feedback Details, when the user click the Submit button, the Feedback Details Updated field needs to be updated to true by the system, how to do this?

Or could add further condition, if there was no changes to the Feedback Details, then no need to update the the Feedback Details Updated field when click the Submit button.

    Hi,

     

    There are three ways to achieve this:

    1. Through entity form metadata, you can set the value of the Feedback Details Updated to true

    2. If there is a certain condition that you need to check before setting the field to true, you will need to do by adding javascript to the form and set the field to true if condition is met.
    3. Alternatively, do the field update via a workflow triggered by the field update

    Hi,

     

    A better way is to use a combination of If and Patch functions when submitting the form. Something like this:
    If( condition , Patch(listName, Lookup(Id=ThisItem.Id), {fieldName : true}) );

     

    Cheers,

    Hamid
