Set Value of Auto Complete

[Wilson]

Hi Alex,
Is there a correct way to set the value of an Auto Complete field programmatically? If I set the value in Cutsom JS as below, it does not remove the “help text” or trigger the “set field” function of Auto Complete.

setFieldValue("CustomerAccount",getFieldValue("CustomerAccountNew"));

Thanks,
Wilson

Hi,
Unfortunately you cannot use setFieldValue to set the value of a field enhanced with the autocomplete plugin. If you need to set it programatically you can try setting it BEFORE you call the spjs.ac function to enhance it – and use the reValidateOnLoad setting to have it automatically try to resolve the value.

Hi,
I was wrong! – I did actually add this functionality earlier this year, but forgot to add it to the user manual for the AC plugin and only documented it in the ChangeLog.

I have now updated the user manual with the correct function call to user.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Alexander

It works fine in case you’re not feeding other fields. I got the setFieldValue on Autocomplete working but the autocomplete does not update the others fields is using to fill up values thorough setFields 🙁 any suggestion ?

I’ll have to look into that and if it’s broken I’ll fix it in the next version.

I have fixed a bug in the script and will try to get a new version of the DFFS package released later today.
