Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Do you need to get a field's value in JavaScript on another form?

If you mean to say you need to get value of a field on a different form within same entity, you just need to add same field on both forms.

For example, I have a custom field called new_xyz which I added on Contact form.

Now to access this value on a new Contact Form, you just need to add this field using following steps:

Go to Advanced Settings -> Customization - Customize this System.

Expand Entities -> <Entity Name> -> Forms.

Open the desired form, and from the right hand side (Field Explorer), drag the desired field on the form.

Save and Publish.

Now you can access new_xyz field's value (in JavaScript) on new form.

Also, if you do not need to show this field on new form, you can set it's visibly to false, this way Users won't see this field, but you can access it's value.

Hi, Vipin7060

You can create a Workflow to get the value you want.

For example, there is a field called ‘num’ in Contact entity, which is only contained in the form ‘Contact for Interactive experience’.

I’d like to get its value and set it into the form ‘Contact’ as the Business Phone.

Create a real-time workflow.

Go to Advanced Settings > Settings > Processes. New a Process.

Select type as Workflow

Set the ‘Start when’

Add a ‘Update Record’ step.

Set properties

It can pass the value from the form ‘Contact for Interactive experience’ into ‘Contact’.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Nya

Hi Vipin7060,

the easy approach could be to have both fields in your forms but hidding field b from (form a) and hidding field a from (form b) and just passing the value

assuming both field are the of same type then:
function yourAwesomeFunction(context){ var formContext = context.getFormContext(); //here your logic... copyValue("new_FIELD_A","new_FIELD_B",formContext); //OR copyValue("new_FIELD_B","new_FIELD_A",formContext); } function copyValue(fieldFrom,fieldTo,formContext){ var fieldFromControl = formContext.getAttribute(fieldFrom); var fieldToControl = formContext.getAttribute(fieldTo); if(fieldFromControl===null||fieldToControl===null) return; fieldToControl.setValue(fieldFromControl.getValue()); }

regards.

please consider marking as an answer if it was helpful
