Javascript filled forms not saving

Forms Version 10
Updated November 22, 2016
posted on November 15, 2016

I have a similar problem to this but I have some relational Javascript that fills out just fine in the form but then on Submit it doesn't get saved. Other parts of the Javascript work, just this one doesn't. I have a lot of calculations that are using Javascript so I will only post the part that doesn't work, let me know if you need the whole thing:

Some Data pulls from our SQL database, then I manipulate it, like the type, but I want to set a field to something that makes more sense "translate it":

//Determine if Online or On-Ground course
	$(".type input").change(function(){
    var type = $(".type input").val(); 

    if (type == "ONLN"){
      $(".subtype input").val("Online");
      }
    else if (type == "LEC"){
      $(".subtype input").val("On-ground");
      }
  });

So here is another piece of code that populates when filling out, but disappears when Submitted:

//Assign Assignor & Address
	$(".type").change(function(){
    var type = $(".type input").val();

    if (type == "ONLN"){
      $(".assignor input").val("Jane Doe");
      $(".titleassi input").val("Dean of Online Education");
      }
    else if (type == "LEC"){
      $(".assignor input").val("John Smith");
      $(".titleassi input").val("Dean of AGS Operations");
      }
  });

Please help!

Are the fields you use JavaScript to fill set to Read-only when design form? For read-only fields, the values set by JavaScript won't be respected when process in the backend. If that is the case, you can set the fields to read-only using JavaScript instead of set them through Forms designer.

I think they are that is probably the case! But I have other fields that get filled out with javascript that are also readonly by design and somehow they work, pretty strange!

What the field type for those fields that works? And can you give sample for how the JavaScript set those value?

All fields involved (ones that works and others that do not) are Single Line. You were right - removing the "read-only" from the fields made the values stick!

 

Here is an example of code that works, but you were right, it was the Read Only attribute that was causing issues. 

//Campus location
	$(".tcampus input").change(function(){
    var tcampus = $(".tcampus input").val();
    var type = $(".type input").val();

    if (tcampus == "O000000001" && type == "ONLN"){
      $(".campus input").val("Online");
      }
    else if (tcampus == "O000000001"){
      $(".campus input").val("Bartlesville, OK");
      }
    else if (tcampus == "O000000016"){
      $(".campus input").val("Tulsa, OK");
}
  });

Do you by any chance know the javascript code on top of your code for read only attribute? :) if not, I will surely look it up but I just wondered if you knew.

 

Thanks so much for your help!!!

You can use

$('.campus input').attr('readyonly',true);

or 

$('.campus input').prop('readyonly',true);
