OnChange() issue with 2 connected text inputs

Posted on by RobinW

I have 2 input boxes:

TextInput1

Default: testVar1

OnChange: Set(testVar2,Value(TextInput1.Text)*2)

TextInput2

Default: testVar2

OnChange: Set(testVar1,Value(TextInput2.Text)/2)

Default:

I change the 2nd box to 3 and the 1st box automatically changes to 1.5

I change the 1st box to 2 and the 2nd box automatically changes to 4

This works perfectly, however in my 2nd example:

Default:

I change the 2nd box to 3 and the 1st box automatically changes to 1.5

I change the 1st box back to 1, but the 2nd box stays at 3

I'm guessing that the 1st box OnChange doesn't register because I didn't manually set it to a different value even though the formula changed it to a different value. Is there a workaround to this issue?

Re: OnChange() issue with 2 connected text inputs

I ended up finding a solution. Add a Reset() function to the end of OnChange.

TextInput1
Default: testVar1
OnChange: Set(testVar2,Value(TextInput1.Text)*2); Reset(TextInput2);

TextInput2
Default: testVar2
OnChange: Set(testVar1,Value(TextInput2.Text)/2); Reset(TextInput1);

Hi @RobinW ,

That is because OnChange only triggers when the user physically changes that value (not when a Variable that happens to be the Default changes)
