Changing field value when editing record

Hi,

I am trying to change a fields value after a user edits the record through an edit form. This field is not a lookup field linked to a relationship, it's a simple field. This field won't be accessible or visible in this edit form. It seems like through JavaScript could be an option, running some code when the user clicks the save button, but I would like not to have to check if the form is actually going to save the record or if it's going to encounter some validation error.

Is there a simpler option?

Thanks in advance.

if you want a static value you can use the entity form metadata: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/configure-web-form-metadata#set-value-on-save

if the value is dynamic, you can set through JS
to add client-side validation follow this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/add-custom-javascript#additional-client-side-field-validation

Hi @OliverRodrigues ,

The value is dynamic, I have tried putting this code in the custom JavaScript with no luck:

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#cr027_useremail").val(User().Email);
});

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi, I am just wondering what is the User().Email in your code, is that a custom object in your JS or something?
Can you try the following code?

$(document).ready(function() { var email = "{{ user.emailaddress1 }}"; console.log("Email: " + email); $("#cr027_useremail").val(email); });
