Question

Clear a field variable after submission

Version 10 Forms Workflow
Updated August 4, 2024
asked on November 2, 2020

I have a Interview participants form that once submitted, goes to a workflow to do some magic then gets reassigned to the initiator to fill it out again for round 2, 3 etc of interviews .   I have a drop down that they select what round of interviews it is.  What i would like to do is when this form gets reassigned to the initiator, reset that "Round" dropdown to blank since it is a required field.   If i leave it the way it is now, it retains the last value that was used which i do not want.  (Note: i do use the number from the "Round" in the name of the docs being saved to the repository)

Hi Marce,

 

You can use Javascript

//Document is ready
$(document).ready(function ()
	{
  		//Set select value to nothing
  		$('#q1 select').val(0);
	})

Thanks for the JS Olivier.

Having tested this with LF Cloud though it appears as though despite JS capability slowly introduced, this particular functionality doesn't yet work in Cloud?

Hi Duncan,

Sorry I don't know anything about the LF Cloud. Hope you find your answer.

Hi Olivier. Yes we did get an answer - which is that you can now just set the 'File Upload' field to a value of nothing (empty) using Output Parameters in workflow, and that clears any file that had been previously uploaded.

It's new functionality that LF have introduced in a recent update.

Hi Duncan, 

 

Could you elaborate on "set the 'File Upload' field to a value of nothing (empty) using Output Parameters in workflow"?

 

When I use the Set Business Variables activity in Workflow, I can't see the Attachment type in the "Choose Fields" pane. How did you do it?

I can see the Attachment type in the Retrieve Business Process Variables" activity, but not on the Set Business Process Variables. 

Thank you.

Hi Patricia,

Sounds like you are working in Self-Hosted Laserfiche?

I should've been more clear, but my comments are related only to Cloud. In Cloud Workflow you use Input/Output tokens to set variables in processes, rather than the 'Retrieve Business Process Variables' and 'Set Business Process Variables' workflow activities (which don't exist in Cloud Workflow).
