Question

Saved PDF document (in repository) does not show the field value?

Forms

Updated December 10, 2014

asked on December 8, 2014

I am using the Javascript(see previous discussion) to get the device time into the field. It works fine on the form but when I open the save PDF in the repository the time is not there (the field is blank). What could be causing that?

The code I am using is:

$(document).ready(function(){

function setcurrenttime (){
      var currentdate=new Date();
      var datetimenow=(currentdate.getHours())+ ":"
        + currentdate.getMinutes();

      $('#Field280').val(datetimenow);
      }
      setcurrenttime();
   });

Note: I had similar issue before with loo-kup DB value in the field which was fixed with applying lf hot fix. My current version is Laserfiche Forms Version 9.1.1.1522 (that has the hot fix applied).

Also, use the following function to remove the read only attribute upon the Form being submitted.

$(document).on('submit', function(){
$('#Field').attr('readonly', 'false');
});

Hope this helps!

Hello!

Is this field marked as read-only in the form?

Fields that are marked as read-only and then filled using JavaScript will not show a value when submitted to the repository. This is because Forms thinks that the field is being populated unsecurely. If you would like to have to field be both read-only and filled via JavaScript, set the read-only field attribute using JavaScript rather than in the field's edit mode.

Hi Kathryn

Thanks for direction....

Yes, we have set the field to read-only to block users from changing the time. I am not a Java programer and I do struggle to find scripts when needed.... If you had an java-script example I would appreciate...

cheers

Hi Farzali,

This line of code should work! Just insert the field you wish to target.

$('#Field').attr('readonly', 'true');
