I'm using Nintex Classic Forms2013

Very new and very lost...
I have two Calculated Values: Date_ & Time_

These values update on form load

I want these two values to concatenate into a single line text field, TimeDate

Please and thank you!

Hey @kgiles ,


 


Why not use a Calculated Value control instead of a single Line Text control?


 


On your Classic Form, Add a Calculated Value control.



Configure the Calculated Value control using the Formula Builder:


(Insert the variable by double-clicking them in the Named controls)


Formula: _Date + _Time


If you need to add a space in between 


Formula: _Date +" " + _Time



Preview the form to check the result. 


 


 


 


Thanks for your help!


Setting the value of a single line text field based off of a calculated value is what I'm trying to focus on. I have many uses for this but no easy built in options to perform this action. 


Hi @kgiles,


Could you elaborate with an example what you wish to achieve?


Did my suggestion help to resolve your initial issue?


I changed up some values:
1. Calculated Value Name = Time_Date
2. Single Line Text Field Name = Destination
3. On form load, I would like Time_Date to set it's value to Destination.
Hope I'm making sense and thank you

Hi @kgiles 


 


Form Controls


1. Calculated Value Name = Time_Date
2. Single Line Text Field Name = Destination


3. Assign the Client ID JavaScript variable name to both control. (Settings - Advance)


 txtTime_Date


  txtDestination


 


4. Place the following code into the Form Settings - Custom JavaScript



NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function() {
var x = NWF$("#" + txtTime_Date).val();
var y = NWF$("#" + txtDestination);
y.val(x);
});

This will assign the value of Time_Date to Destination eg pass Time_Date value to Destination. 


as you stated - "Time_Date to set it's value to Destination."
