Trigger a look up rule using Javascript

asked on February 17, 2020

I am doing some calculations on form submit and populating some fields. I have lookup rules based on those fields. Is it possible to trigger look up rules in java script, so that fields get populated on form submit?

 

Thanks

Priya

After you apply the input value, call the "input.change()" to trigger it's onchange event.

In Laserfiche Forms (we use LF Forms 11), I noticed that read-only fields do not trigger lookup rules. I have a read-only field that I would need to trigger a lookup rule and it doesn't, however, as soon as I uncheck the read-only checkbox it starts working.

 

Is there a way to make a lookup rule work with read-only fields ? My use case here is I need users to enter a customer first and last name (as 2 separate text fields) and this would dynamically build a read-only field for the customer full name (as "Firstname Lastname"). I need to check if this full name already exists in a customer table to avoid duplicates.

 

I do have a workaround which is to make the "Full Name" field read-write but hidden, however I would prefer to be able to show it in the form.

 

Thank you !
