Setting a field value for a dropdown

[Paul Woodcock]

Hi Alexander

I’m struggling to set the field value of a drop-down field called SlotLength

function dffs_PreSaveDuration(){
    var noBaby = getFieldValue("BabyNumber").split(" ", 1);
    var X40 = Math.floor(noBaby*40);
    console.log(X40);
    setFieldValue("SlotLength", "[X40]");

The BabyNumber field is a drop-down with the following values: 1 baby, 2 babies, 3 or more babies. The SlotLength field is also a drop-down with the following values: 40, 80, 120. When checking the console.log(X40) it shows the expected value. I’m clearly making a mistake setting the field value for SlotLength. But I cannot figure it out.

Regards

Hi Alexander,

I’ve just realised I needed to change the number to string:

function dffs_PreSaveDuration(){
    var noBaby = getFieldValue("BabyNumber").split(" ", 1);
    var X40 = Math.floor(noBaby*40).toString();
    console.log(X40);
    setFieldValue("SlotLength", X40);
}

So all sorted. Thanks anyway!

I’m glad you figured it out, but it wasn’t a problem with the numeric value. You didn’t pass the actual variable, but a string “[X40]” to the function.
