Can't populate text control with calculated value

you can do it eg. following way

- update formula in calc value control to something like:   <Exististing formula> + UpdateTextBox()

- define javascript function like

function UpdateTextBox(){
   NWF$('#'+TextBox).val('Email');
   return "";
}

Thank you.  This worked perfectly.

Hi Marian,

I would like to use this example, but when I tried it didn't work for me.  I have obviously misunderstood something.

• I updated my calculated value field to include the + UpdateTextBox()
• I went to my form settings and put the javascript in, changing 'Email' the name of my text field
• When I previewed the form the calculated field value didn't appear in the text field

Have I missed a step?

Thank you,

Christina.

above script was just an example how to 'simulate' resp. capture calculated control change event. and it just set "Email" string to text box.

if you want to set text box value to a value of calculated control control itsef  use something like following

UpdateTextBox(<Existing formula>)‍

function UpdateTextBox(inpval){
   NWF$('#'+TextBox).val(inpval);
   return inpval;
}‍‍‍‍

Thanks, Marian.  Forgive me, but this is really new to me and I'm unsure how to make this work.

So far I have added the first line to the calculated field so that it now reads:

• UpdateTextBox(Risk Ranking HSE Impact*Risk Ranking HSE Likelihood)

I then copied the second part into the form settings.  I'm presuming I change the '#' for the name of the text field that I want to copy the calculated value in to, i.e.:

    function UpdateTextBox(inpval){
       NWF$('RiskRankingHSEScore'+TextBox).val(inpval);
       return inpval;
    }

Is this all correct?

THANK YOU!

everything is correct except of

            NWF$('RiskRankingHSEScore'+TextBox).val(inpval);

it should have been

NWF$('#' + RiskRankingHSEScore).val(inpval);‍

where RiskRankingHSEScore is javascript variable configured for text control, not its name.

if that still doesn't work or anything is still not clear I would suggest to start new question so that this thread doesn't confusing dealing with several different problems.

Hello Marian,  Can you check out my question on this configuration at: https://community.nintex.com/thread/18088-read-in-text-from-list-item-and-place-it-in-form-text-box

Thanks

checked

Hello guys, I was following this thread and tried the solution

I have updated my calculated values to = UpdateTextBox(Q3+W3)

And updated the settings – form and entered this scrip

    function UpdateTextBox(inpval){

       NWF$('#' + E3).val(inpval);

       return inpval;

    }

After updating

I select the preview form to test it but when run “Preview Form” it will only show like this. please wait

Did I miss something?
