concatenate after lookup fields populate

replied on March 28, 2018 • Show version history

Chris,

You can attempt this JavaScript function. This will check to see if either value is filled. If both values are filled then it will concatenate them. If not it will leave the field blank. There are two function calls to trigger based on either field when changed.

$(document).ready(function(){
/*concatenate escalated user name*/
  $('.escalateLName').on('blur', 'input', EscalatedApprover);
  $('.escalateFName').on('blur', 'input', EscalatedApprover);
  
  function EscalatedApprover(){
    if(($('.escalateLName input').val() != "")&&($('.escalateFName input').val() != "")){
    $('.Escalated_Approver_Name input').val($('.escalateLName input').val()+", "+$('.escalateFName input').val());
    }
    }
  
});

thanks for the code. Since the field is being populated by a lookup, it is not registering the blur event. Was it working for you with a lookup?

Thanks

I got it to work using the FieldXXX ID:

/*concatenate escalated user name*/
  $('#Field349, #Field350').on('change', function(){

    if(($('.escalateLName input').val() != "")&&($('.escalateFName input').val() != "")){
    $('.Escalated_Approver_Name input').val($('#Field349').val()+", "+$('#Field350').val());
    }

  })

for some reason it did not like the classes as a selector..... I have seen this before, not sure why it gets picky about the selector type sometimes.

Thanks for the help!

Chris,

The issue is that there is a delay with the look up hence you would still get undefined. I was able to use the css selectors and base it on the look up with the drop down. Either way works though yours is shorter due to looking at the change for the fields that are filled out rather than the drop down.

$(document).ready(function(){
  
    var timerS;
    $('#Field349').on('change', function(){

    clearTimeout(timerS);
    timerS = setTimeout(function(){
    if(($('.escalateLName input').val() != "")&&($('.escalateFName input').val() != "")){
    $('.Escalated_Approver_Name input').val($('.escalateLName input').val()+", "+$('.escalateFName input').val());
    }
    },1000);
  });
});
