Can I set value in DFFS directly from a function?

[Bryan Waldrop]

I am attempting to set a multi choice field based on another multi choice fields selection in NewForm

function NewFUNC(){
var MMF=getfieldvalue(‘MyMultiField1’);
var MMFTRU=MMF.includes(‘Value2’);
if(MMFTRU ==true){
setfieldvalue(‘MyMultiField2′,’Value2′);
}
else{
setfieldvalue(‘MyMultiField2’,’Value1’);
}

}

How should I go about this?

Hi,
Please note that the “includes” method doesn’t work in IE.

I suggest you do it like this:

var fArr = getFieldValue("MultiChoiceField1");
if(jQuery.inArray("Value2",fArr) > -1){
    setFieldValue("MulitChoiceField2","Value2");
}else{
    setFieldValue("MulitChoiceField2","Value1");
}

Please note that the setFieldValue will clear existing selection before the new value is set. If this is not what you want you’ll have to pull the array from “MulitChoiceField2” and push the new value in before setting the complete array of values.

Hope this makes sense,
Alexander
