Is this custom code limited to being used only on a form where that formula text field is loaded? What if I wanted to use some additional, external functions in formula field formulas? Is this possible? How does the IOL technique with the formula text field work for that situation?
- _anomDiebolt_9 years agoQrew EliteThere is no mechanism for JavaScript to exchange values with the formula language. However, you can use JavaScript to place content in the same position a field would occupy giving the appearance that a server side formula calculate the value. Does that answer you question?
- MichaelBarrow9 years agoQrew CadetSo is this IOL mechanism limited to fields displayed on forms, or can I include it in a formula field or have it work for me in a grid edit situation?
- _anomDiebolt_9 years agoQrew EliteIOL will work on {new, edit, view, report and grid edit} pages. Basically it works on any page where you can place a raw field - you can't use IOL on chart pages because you can't put a raw field on those types of pages.
If you need script injected on other pages you can use BOL (Branding OnLoad) or SW (Service Workers). - MichaelBarrow9 years agoQrew CadetThanks for the clarification!
