case statement in api_addrecord javascript
Hi Quickbase Community, I am having an issue using a switch statement in Javascript while adding a record. I have defined a variable in the URL button called F9 that provides the number of site vis...

Works perfectly, i use Chrome, also used it in IE as well. Only the below code is put into a URL Button, the rest comes from the AddWR.js.
"javascript:" &
"var F3= " & URLEncode([Record ID#]) & ";" &
"var F9= '" & [Number of Store Visits Required ? ] & "';" &
"var F72= '" & [Related Project] & "';" &
"var F77= '" & [Related Site] & "';" &
"var F98= '" & [Type of Scope] & "';" &
"var F84= '" & [Project - Related customer] & "';" &
"var F100= '" & [Date of Issue] & "';" &
"var F999= '" & "Installation" & "';" &
"var F21= '" & [Visit 1 Date] & "';" &
"var F22= '" & [Visit 1 Time] & "';" &
"var F23= '" & [Visit 1 Labour Qty] & "';" &
"var F25= '" & [Visit 2 Date] & "';" &
"var F26= '" & [Visit 2 Time] & "';" &

- As well as asking for help when I just can't work something out. I have only 8 years VBA experience (with specific use cases as I am self-taught) so interesting learning curve moving to Javascript.
- That makes more sense.
Here is another mechanism I sometimes use to pass field values to script.
Here is a Rich Text field styled as a button: that places two fields [Record ID#] and [Name] into attributes of the <a> element:[iol] & "module.js" & [/iol]
The <a> portion of the generated field looks like this:
&
"<a class='QBU_Button Vibrant Success' " &
" data-rid='" & [Record ID#] & "'" &
" data-name='" & [Name] & "'" &
">Button</a>"<a
Within the module.js file you can gain access to the field values like this:
class="QBU_Button Vibrant Success"
data-rid="1"
data-name="Jane Doe" >Button</a>$("a.QBU_Button").on("click", function(event) {This allows you to style the button anyway you want and provides nice isolation between the formula and script.
var rid = this.dataset.rid;
var name = this.dataset.name;
console.log("rid=", rid);
console.log("name=", name);
}); - Also, I sometimes pass just the [Record ID#] and within the module.js make an AJAX call for any of the other fields values you need to access. This makes every thing dead simple with very good isolation between formula and script.
- Brilliant thank you so much - I am in the process of building out my application, no doubt the IOL technique will be used in spades.
I look forward to our future correspondence. My plan is as i work through my different use cases that i post on here for anyone looking to do similar functions where i cant see a solution already posted. - Keep going.
We have to levelup the other QuickBase users to use script so we can get into fun stuff like QuickBase Machine Learning and stop complaining about trifles like the color scheme.
