Creating a field value based on other fields in a form (Model driven app)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Hi, i have created an form where i have the primary name field and 3 lookup fields to othertables: Contract (not null), Product (not null), subproduct(null)

 

I want the primary name field to be created based on the chosen lookup fields - so it becomes sort of a unique field. can anyone help me on how to accomplish this in a model driven app ?  if the answer is Javascript i might need help to write it.

    Set the Default of that field to the 3 LookUps you make.


    EXAMPLE:
    LookUp(Contract; ID = 1) & "-" & LookUp(Product; ID = 1) & "-" & LookUp(SubProduct; ID = 1)

    Thank you for the reply @Nogueira1306 .

     

    This would also be my solution if i was working on a canvas app, did not think it would work in a model driven app. where is it possible to write Power fx for default values in model driven apps?
