append setFieldvalue in custom JS

[Matthew Thompson]

Here is the code I am attempting to append in custom JS within DFFS. Currently the two functions overwrite each other.

//ACMSCOMMENTS
function ACMSCOMMENTS() {
var ACMS=getFieldValue(“ACMS__x0028_ACCOUNT_x0020_CLOSUR”);
var AGENT=getFieldValue(“Agent”);
var TIME=new Date();
if (ACMS ==”Submitted for Access”) {
setFieldValue(“Comments”,”ACMS – Submitted for Access (“+AGENT+” “+TIME+”)”);
}else{
setFieldValue(“Comments”,”ACMS – Access Request completed (“+AGENT+” “+TIME+”)”);
}
alert (“Comments Updated with Action”);
}

//AMLDEFCOMMENTS
function AMLDEFCOMMENTS() {
var ACMS=getFieldValue(“AML_DEFECT__x0028_AML_x0020_DEFE”);
var AGENT=getFieldValue(“Agent”);
var TIME=new Date();
if (ACMS ==”Submitted for Access”) {
setFieldValue(“Comments”,”AML_DEFECT – Submitted for Access (“+AGENT+” “+TIME+”)”);
}else{
setFieldValue(“Comments”,”AML_DEFECT – Access Request completed (“+AGENT+” “+TIME+”)”);
}
alert (“Comments Updated with Action”);
}

Hi,
You need to first pull the current value from the textarea, and then append the new text to it before adding it again to the field. Something like this:

...
...
var TIME = new Date();
var currentTEXT = getFieldValue("Comments") + "\n;
if(ACMS =="Submitted for Access") {
    setFieldValue("Comments",currentTEXT+"AML_DEFECT – Submitted for Access ("+AGENT+" "+TIME+")");
}else{
    setFieldValue("Comments",currentTEXT+"AML_DEFECT – Access Request completed ("+AGENT+" "+TIME+")");
}
...
...

Please note that I have appended “\n” to the “currentTEXT” variable to add a linefeed in the textarea.

Let me know how it work out,
Alexander
