Hi Team,

We have added a button fromusing Advanced HTML with the below code.

However the above code is not working in both the below scenarios,

Also from JS code section

Appreciate your help on this.

If this is using the new designer, you will want to have the function declaration explicitly defined on the window object. Like so:

window.Test = function() { console.log("ttt")};

Is there any workaround for getting this to work in the current version we are in ?

Unfortunately none that wouldn't break when you update to update 5 and beyond. There was a significant amount of enhancements done to the new designer in update 5 so I definitely recommend updating if you can.

Are you using the Classic Designer or the modern Forms Layout Designer? JavaScript changed dramatically with the new designer.

Yes, we are using the new forms designer and facing this issue. The older one seems fine.

Try Zachary's suggestion, JavaScript is sandboxed in the new designer, so things have to be done in a very different way.
