Ok so that turned out to be easier than I thought (caution, noob learning here), I just put my function which I tightened up considerably into a rule where the Requester peoplepicker is changed from initial value and it works. Now if only I could obtain the email address from active directory I’d be completely set to go. Worse case, I can populate that via a workflow.
`function getRequester() {
setFieldValue(“RequesterLANID”,spjs.utility.getFieldValue({“fin”:”Requester”,”delimiter”:”,”,”key”:”loginName”}).slice(14));
setFieldValue(“RequesterName”,spjs.utility.getFieldValue({“fin”:”Requester”,”delimiter”:”,”,”key”:”displayName”}));
}’Hi Alexander. In our case we can’t assume the current user is the Requester, as often these request are submitted on behalf of a manger one of their staff members. It also would affect the approval flow, since if A submits on behalf of B, B would need to approve it first.
I am setting the Submitter using {userProfile:WorkEmail} and {userProfile:UserName}. And I’m able to get the Requester’s name and LAN ID via a button on the form with this custom JS:
On the tab: <button type="button" onclick="getRequester()">Get Requester In Custom JS: function getRequester() { var RequesterLANID var RequesterName RequesterLANID = spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"Requester","delimiter":",","key":"loginName"}).slice(14); RequesterName = spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"Requester","delimiter":",","key":"displayName"}); setFieldValue("RequesterLANID",RequesterLANID); setFieldValue("RequesterName",RequesterName); }Note that I’d like to get a third value, the email address I can’t find the key value for that, as WorkEmail doesn’t return anything.
I’d also prefer to not make a user click a button to populate the Requester details. Once they select a name from the people picker it should populate them. But if I try to trigger that function using onclick:
document.getElementById("Requester_1f4555cf-abb5-46d6-9c90-cf0e0063d350_$ClientPeoplePicker").onchange = function() {getRequester()};all it will do it populate the fields with the characters I typed into the people picker, not the actual values.
Thanks!
