We have a business requirement that we need to move data from a multi-line rich text field to a simply multi-line text field. I have tried using Power Automate to move the data but the HTML comes through into the simple multi-line text field. I am thinking we need to use javascript to do this. Here is what i currently have (definitely a beginner at javascript). This code snippet errors out with "ReferenceError: Web resource method does not exist: copyField". Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated!
function CopyField(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.getAttribute("new_meetingagenda").setValue("new_timeentrydetails") }
Hi,
Javascript is not adapted to your needs because it runs on the client side.
Power Automate is a very good choice. You will need to remove the HTML in the rich text field. I invite you to read the following post to do it: powerusers.microsoft.com/.../731195
For information, the javascript error you got comes from the case sensitivity of javascript. copyField vs CopyField.
Hi AZWildcat1290,
Maybe you need get old field firstly:
formContext.getAttribute(arg).getValue()
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/attributes/getvalue
The code should like this:
function CopyField(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var details = formContext.getAttribute("new_timeentrydetails").getValue(); formContext.getAttribute("new_meetingagenda").setValue(details); }
And you can refer to the following blog to appply js code on the form:
