Custom code in Form
I found a bootstrap script that will display as an input number roller. The code works and is on a code page. I can only access it by using a URL Formula Field. I made it appear as a button and when c...

What's the best way for the number roller to input the final value into a field?With an API call I would think. Assuming the record is either already created or you need to create a new one straight from the code page.
So what is the ultimate goal here? For it to be contained on a form, or are you okay with the code page? You want this to receive multiple inputs from where?
Usually the way you would use a code page is to send data to it in the URL via a button or some other method. Then in your code page you parse the URL for the data you sent and do what you need to do in the code page then make an API call back to where you want to be with the data.
After looking at this I cleaned up the process a bit. The only thing I need now is to figure out API calls.
I have a form that records when a truck returns with products.
There is an embedded grid edit report with the product information. The ticker button is featured here. The button opens a separate tab and we can click until we get the desired value. I have a "submit" button that closes the tab. The only thing I need to figure out now is how to take the value and place it in my "QTY" field. I know this is done with API calls but I am still new to QuickBase and not familiar with the process for setting these up. Would the API call be on the code page or the button?
