Hi friends.

I have an entity with a calculate field that onload event form gets a javascript value. It works fine manually record creation. But importing from excel....

I need to import using this excel template lots of records. It works, but...... this javascript calculate field does not refresh

I have to edit each record and save it again without changes. After, once in every year, those records had to recalculate (Programmed Process task)

My 2 question:

- Is possible to update the field value during the import?

- Is possible to create a bussiness process to refresh selected records?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gardagantxo2007,

Can you please post the condition and action for your calculated field. You need to populate the values specified in the calculated field calculation for the field to display the value correctly.

It sounds to me like you are trying to use On Load JavaScript instead of using a proper calculated field. On Load JavaScript does not trigger when importing an Excel file.

Hi Partner,

JavaScript works only on client side i.e. when you access form on a browser and not on server side i.e. when you importing record through Excel.

Mayee you could use workflows/flow to update your fields which will run when you import the records.

Hi again, thanks for the response Adrian a Leuh.

Yesterday I post a response, but I can't see it. Something was wrong publishing, I think.

I have a form field that contains a initial year (like 2013 value for example)

I have a form field (option set named period) that contains: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years,.......

I need the dif between current year and initial year: 2023 -2013 = 10 (Javascript value stored on javascript var difyear)

I have a yesno field updated by this calc like:

If period == " 2 year" and difyear == (2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16.....) then yesno=true

If period == " 3 year" and difyear == (3,6,9,12,15,18.....) then yesno=true

.........................................

I don´t know how to do with workflows. I'm not an expert. Any idea?

How can I get current year in a workflow condition to evaluate the dif between initialyear?

I think it is possible with a plugin, but I'm not an expert programmer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Partner,

it's hard to compare difference between two dates and grt difyear in the workflow.

Maybe you can try to use power automate to create one flow, it can get difyear:
