Hi all,

this should be an easy one, but I didn't get it running... sad.png I would like to write a  entry into a variable. What I did:

Within form (setting of the people picker control):

Store Client ID in Javascript: Yes
Client ID Javascript variable name: ppFK

Trying to get it into a variable (both without success):
var FK = new NF.PeoplePickerApi("#" + ppFK);
var FK = document.getElementById(ppFK);
Any help is highly appreciated! grin.png 
Cheers

    with PP API

    var FK = new NF.PeoplePickerApi("#" + ppFK);
    console.log('PP content: ' + FK.$elem.val());
    ‍‍

    without PP API

    console.log('PP content: ' + NWF$("#" + ppFK).val());

    Great Marian,

    with that I managed to do what I wanted:

    Button -> Settings -> Advanced -> Client click -> 

    if(!confirm("Would you like to send the request to "+NWF$("#" + ppFK).val()+"?")){ return false; }

    Thanks a lot!

    Cheers
