is it possible to iteratively run an action sequence within a javascript snippet?

Hi Conlan. It sounds like your action sequence is more complicated than simply adopting the selected rows from one model into another, right? If not, you can use the adopt row action. 

Hi Mark,

With adopt rows, is there any way to pass values from one field to another. For example, if I have a data value in a field called “Monitor Date 1” on Tax_Abatement__c (source) object and I need to pass the date value to another field called “Performance Review Date” on Requirement__c (target) object, can I do that?

I created a sequence using a bunch of activate and set condition actions on my target model/object, so I was hoping there might be an easy/fast way to simple call that sequence for each row in the source.

Perhaps it’s just faster to convert the whole sequence to javascript though…?

Thanks,

Conlan

One option that could work is to do it all with actions on a UI only field in the Tax_Abatement model.

The general logic is something like this…

• Create a UI-Only checkbox on Tax_Abatement
• Create an action 'whenever field UI_Check is updated'
• In that action, have it create a new row in Requirement__c defaulting the values accordingly (I think default will work, if not you'll need to do the activate & set actions you're currently doing
• Now you can create a button/global action that updates field in a row(s), and have it check the UI_Check for all rows in model Tax_Abatement (if needs to run multiple times, add a branch that says if checked then uncheck, if unchecked then check)

Matt, thanks for the suggestion. I gave this a shot, and came very close to being able to use this. However, using activate and set conditions did not work in this case. It appears the conditions are not being set for each row’s context, but instead setting to the values from the last row in the table. When I tried using default values in the Create New Row action, that approach did maintain the context of each row…however, I ca not pass in date values from my context row…since the content of a default date field can only accept either a relative value (e.g. yesterday) or a specific date (e.g. 9/18/2018). I can’t pass in a content value from another field (e.g. {{Required_Date__c}}) See previous post here.
