Unexpected javascript behavior after Forms upgrade to 10.4.5.282

Forms

Updated October 29, 2020

asked on October 28, 2020

Last week we upgraded our Forms from 10.4.1 to 10.4.5.282 and one of our forms that was making use of the following javascript didn't work as it did before the upgrade.

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
if(event.ruleId=="3354"){
LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
}
});

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
if(event.ruleId=="3357"){
LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
}
});

Is this function no longer supported?

I'm not a javascript engineer and we got this snippet from this post and form was working fine previous to the upgrade.

If I remove this javascript from the form, the form works but no longer allows me to select another value from a drop down after it has been autofilled, which I could before.

I am uncertain if support for this was removed - I doubt it.

Most likely your rule ID has changed because of the upgrade.

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
//Add this
console.log(event.ruleId);
  if(event.ruleId=="3354"){
   LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
  }
});

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
  if(event.ruleId=="3357"){
  LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
  }
});

Add the line I commented out above and see what the new rule ID is when the lookup has finished.

Then simply replace the ruleId with the new one.

1.) Open browser

2.) Go to preview

3.) Press F12

4.) Get new ruleId

5.) Amend code

This SHOULD work.

Good luck!

This client did advise that they verified the Rule IDs did not change with the update

I agree that the most likely issue is the ruleId's have changed. You should probably look into using the event.triggerId instead of the event.ruleId. See reply by Xiuhong Xiang in Can we get a "lookups complete" custom event listener please?

Also, I would do a single $(document).on("lookupcomplete" block with an if - else if like this

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
  console.log(event.triggerId);
  if(event.triggerId=="lookup1"){
    LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
  } else if(event.triggerId=="Field1"){
    LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
  }
});

Note that you can use the console in the Dev Tools (F12) to see the triggerIds that triggered the lookup.

The 10.4.4 release notes include this. "

jQuery has been updated to 3.5.1 to take advantage of the latest security updates. If any forms use customized JavaScript, check and update if necessary.
- If self-closing tags on non-void html elements are used in custom JS, replace them with regular start and end tags."

Chuck, sorry but I don't really know javascript, so are you saying that I need to change the code I'm using?

This script does not contain any HTML closing tags (self-closing or regular)

This client has opened a case with us (Solution Provider) to further troubleshoot. I will update this case with our findings after we investigate.

What we know is...

This approach was designed around having 2 separate Lookup Rules, one to auto-populate, and the other to use the Lookup source values in a drop-down format. This JavaScript is intended to fire after the first Lookup completes (the auto-populate), to execute the second Lookup Rule (the functionality is, the field is auto-populated with a value, but allows submitters to click in the auto-populated field and get the drop-down to change the value, if necessary.

This functionality is explained in the post that they embedded in the original description of this post.

We double checked following script with 10.4.5 using the sample from this post, it still works.

$(document).on("lookupcomplete", function (event) {
  if(event.ruleId=="17509"){
   LF.lookup.autoPopulate();
  }
});

Can you test with a simple form?

I agree with @Xiuhong Xiang.

Now just also console.log it to triple check it is still behaving as anticipated.
