Hi All,

I am using the following code to retrieve all the boolean fields present on the form and if the value = true, I am collecting all the display names and setting the value to multi text field. So far everything seems to work but it says invalid type error upon saving. 

function writebooleanfieldlables(executionContext){
debugger;
var attfldlst1 =[];
var outpt;
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var selectedfieldnames=[];
formContext.data.entity.attributes.forEach(
function(attribute,index){
if(attribute.getAttributeType() =="boolean"){
attfldlst1.push(attribute.getName());
}
}
);
attfldlst1.forEach(
function(attribute,index){
if(formContext.getAttribute(attribute).getValue() == 1){
selectedfieldnames.push(formContext.getControl(attribute).getLabel())
}
}
);
formContext.getAttribute("new_selectedfields").setValue(selectedfieldnames);
}

    Thanks Andrew & LeoAlt, both the solutions are correct!

    Here is the updated code that I've used:

    function writebooleanfieldlables(executionContext){

    debugger;

    var attfldlst1 =[];

    var outpt;

    var formContext =  executionContext.getFormContext();

    var selectedfieldnames=[];

    formContext.data.entity.attributes.forEach(

    function(attribute,index){

    if(attribute.getAttributeType() =="boolean"){

    attfldlst1.push(attribute.getName());

    }

    }

    );

    attfldlst1.forEach(

    function(attribute,index){

    if(formContext.getAttribute(attribute).getValue() == 1 && formContext.getAttribute(attribute).getValue() != null){

    selectedfieldnames.push(formContext.getControl(attribute).getLabel())

    }

    }

    );

    formContext.getAttribute("new_selectedfields").setValue(selectedfieldnames.join(','));

    }

    Hi partner,

    "setValue()" function could only use String objects. The "selectedfieldnames" is an Array object so that it caused "invalid type" error.

    You should convert the "selectedfieldnames" from array to string.

    Try the following codes:

    var Strselectedfields=selectedfieldnames.join(","), setvalue(Strselectedfields);

    formContext.getAttribute("new_selectedfields").setValue(Strselectedfields);

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards,
    Leo

    Hello,

    Try to replace

    formContext.getAttribute("new_selectedfields").setValue(selectedfieldnames);

    with

    formContext.getAttribute("new_selectedfields").setValue(selectedfieldnames.join(','));
