I don't understand the use of fireonchange, how does it works and how to register a function to that event and how does it trigger and how to use it, what is the difference between onchange and fireonchange (are both connected?) I googled it but still confused. Can someone please explain with example? thank you
this is a good question, can someone please supply an example?
When you manually update a field, that will trigger the OnChange event of the field.
Now if you want to trigger the OnChange event from within a js function, you will call the fireOnchange.
fireOnChange is used to trigger an onChange event on an object (such as an attribute on the form) from your JavaScript code. The code/function that is triggered will be those (could be more than 1) that are registered for that object event - in supported Dynamics 365 JavaScript the functions are registered using addOnChange in your code (or in the form events)
(HTML and standard JavaScript onchange are roughly equivalent to addOnChange).
