If you place an AJAX call within a function your function should
(1) take parameters and
(2) return a promise.
function uploadData(<parameters>){
return $.ajax({...});
});
uploadData(<parameters>)
.then(function(response) {
//further codehere
});Other observations about your code:
(1) You should simplify the code you post to the minimal size that demonstrates the same problem or exemplifies the same issue you are asking about. Posting a long clist only generates noise and makes it more unlikely you will get an answer.
(2) Despite the API documentation and old answers in this forum, it is better to
not supply the body of a POST as XML. See this sample code which calls
API_ImportFromCSV without using an XML body:
$.post(dbidTable,{
act: "API_ImportFromCSV",
records_csv: "foo,bar,baz\n12,3\n4,5,6\n7,8,9",
clist: "6.7.8"
}).then(function(xml) {
console.dirxml(xml);
});This is a
general principle for almost all QuickBase APIs (unpublished and published). If the docs or source code you are looking at suggest you should send the POST body as
XML:
<qdbapi>
<foo>bar<foo> <baz>quux</baz></qdbapi>
You can in fact just send the body as an
object$.ajax(url, {
action: "API_DoSomething:
foo: "bar", baz: "quux"});
