Search Results for 'form.getRecords'

Hi Brian,

I think this will take a bit of work. There is an API called record.addRecordToField(someRecord, field_id); in Tap Forms. You’ll need to call that to add the record to your Link to Form field.

Now the tricky part is to get the record that you need from the linked form. That would be the someRecord in the above API.

You will also probably need to use the var records = form.getRecordsForSearchTerm("search term"); API call. Now, the form you use will need to be the Link to Form field’s form. So to get that, you’ll need to call the document.getFormNamed('My Movie Library'); API and assign it to a variable (not named form).

For example:

var link_to_form_field_id = 'fld-......';
var linkedForm = document.getFormNamed('Linked Form');
var records = linkedForm.getRecordsForSearchTerm("some unique course code");
var linkedRecord = records[0]; // assuming your course code is unique you'll get just one record back
record.addRecordToField(linkedRecord, link_to_form_field_id);
form.saveAllChanges();

Hopefully that’ll get you what you need. I haven’t tested this code (just off the top of my head), but it should generally work. You may need to do some testing to check to see if you actually get records back.

There’s no function getSelectedRecords(). There is a form.getRecords(); function though.

The current record can be obtained by simply referencing record.

 

So get rid of the var record = form.getSelectedRecords()[0]; statement.

For "sourceField" you’ll need to put in the field ID of the field you want to get the value from. Tap Forms will display the field ID when you select it. Or just select the field and click the ID button to have Tap Forms generate the line of code for you.

Also there’s no record.save() function. You want to use form.saveAllChanges() instead.

In one of my forms, I encountered an issue of  missing parents. The contact field should contain the infos from the parent. This form script loops over all records of a form and checks if the contact field contains records. If no record is found (eg, length == 0), I set the select field. Afterwards, I can use a smart filter to find all these records where the select field is set to 1. This way, I can verify that these records are indeed the once I want to delete. Maybe this helps you!

function Select_No_Contact_Parent() {
   const contact_id = 'fld-xxx';
   const select_id = 'fld-xxx';

   for (rec of form.getRecords()){
     let contacts = rec.getFieldValue(contact_id);
      if (contacts.length == 0) {
       rec.setFieldValue(select_id, true);
      }
   }
   document.saveAllChanges();
}

Select_No_Contact_Parent();

Re: Form script:

You just need to loop over all your records and then assign the values on each one:

function wc_attributes_update() {

  // definitions
  var year_id = 'fld-bcf37649c9ee4332b7100a9589110f96';
  ....

  for (rec of form.getRecords()){
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_3_value_s_id, model);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_4_value_s_id, gauge);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_5_value_s_id, container);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_6_value_s_id, era);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_7_value_s_id, railroad);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_8_value_s_id, brand);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_9_value_s_id, collection);
    rec.setFieldValue(attribute_10_value_s_id, tca_grade);
  }
  form.saveAllChanges()
}

wc_attributes_update();    

This example works on all the records. If you only want to update the ones from a saved search, you might use form.getSearchNamed('Genre: Action & Adventure').

I don’t really understand what you would like to calculate. But here are my 2 cents:

You get the error:
> “Tot$/dwr: ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: previousRecord_total, line:(null)”
because the variable previousRecord_total is not defined. It should be previousTotal and the statement should be a line lower.

> var previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue($_grp);`
getFieldValue() needs a field id and not a value.

For the previous calculation, the field id is the id of the script. You can get it from the form inspector panel > field > select field and look for the ID under the description section.

I would change as well how the first initial value for currentRecordIndex == 0 is handled:

var previous_total = 0;
if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
   var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];    
   previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue(totalId);
}

Now previous_total is initialized to 0. If there is an earlier record, it is set accordingly.

With these changes, my field script now looks like this:

function Add_Previous() {
    var $_dwr = record.getFieldValue('fld-c1faad7124f8400bbf9e55c477b101ef');
    var $_grp = record.getFieldValue('fld-72156bcc2515453d80a4649d30cb938f');
    var totalId = 'fld-9bc44cd8a52547fcab897dbfa04afcc2';
	
    var records = form.getRecords();   // calls function getRecords()
    var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

    var previous_total = 0;
    if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
       	var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];    
       	previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue(totalId);
    }
    
    console.log("dwr: " + $_dwr);
    console.log("grp: " + $_grp);
    console.log("previous total: " + previous_total);
   	
    var total = $_dwr + previous_total;	
    console.log("Total: " + total);
	
    return total;
}

Add_Previous();

Hope this helps!

I got several errors when I tried to run your code. This touched-up version works for me:

var date_id = 'fld-xxx';

function Days_Between_Dates(){
	console.log("Days_Between_Dates() called ...");

	var days = -1;
	var records = form.getRecords(); // calls function getRecords()
	var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

	if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
		var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
	} else {
		return -1;
	}

	// get the two dates
	const today = record.getFieldValue(date_id);
	const previous_day = previousRecord.getFieldValue(date_id);
	
	// calculate the difference between the two date objects
	days = Math.round((today - previous_day) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

	console.log("today: " + today)
	console.log("previous day: " + previous_day)
	console.log("difference: " + days)
	
	return days;
}

Days_Between_Dates()

In Javascript, the Date object represents the time in milliseconds since January 1, 1970, UTC. So the difference needs to be divided by milliseconds-per-day.

I changed the return value to -1 for the first record.

When reporting a syntax error, it’s helpful to have the entire message.

When posting code, please encapsulate it in back-ticks. This way it is easier to copy&paste it and it looks prettier. Thanks!

Cheers & happy hacking!

Days since last Trt.: ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: previousRecord, line:(null)

I’ve done lots of Basic, some Pascal, and some R in the past, but this is very different and I’m lost. Went through the basic training, but still new. It will take lots of experimenting and work to get to where I need to be to fix this. In time I will I hope, but still in the process of making TF usable to me before I branch off into another programming language.

PS, Have no idea what the “called…” after in the Console.log statement does. I just get a syntax error.

function Days_Between_Dates(){

console.log(“Days_Between_Dates()”);
var date_id = (‘fld-119ad5683104451ca6855e777a23ad21’);

var records = form.getRecords(); // calls function getRecords()
var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
var previousday = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
} else {
return 0;
}

var today = record.getFieldValue(date_id);
var previous_day = previousRecord.getFieldValue(date_id);
var total = today – previousday;

console.log(“today: “)

return total;

Ok, missed that.
But I got all the syntax cleared and this script does nothing, not even printing to console the variable values. So I’ve proved I haven’t learned anything yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I did some study and tried to determine the #days between the date of one record and the previous record. I can’t get past line one syntax. Help please?

You need to select ‘script’ and not ‘calculation’ for the field type, return type is ‘number’.

The script had some errors too like incorrect field ids.

function Season_to_date() {

	var date_id = 'fld-e2d20da877cb4a6c8fd72153b86f1ab1';
	var donation_id = 'fld-05c429d6a4484061b554aa584a45f8fc';
	var total_id = 'fld-7c6b9bb288ab47e0b295af6eacc9cd26';
	
	var records = form.getRecords();
    	var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

    	if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
        	var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
    	} else {
     		return 0;
    	}

	// Is this the beginning of the year?
	var date = record.getFieldValue(date_id);
	if (date.getMonth() == 0 && date.getDate() == 1){
		return 0;
	}
	
	var today = record.getFieldValue(donation_id);
	var previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue(total_id);
	var total = today + previous_total;
	
	console.log("Today: " + today)
	console.log("Previous: " + previous_total)
	console.log("Total: " + total)
	
	return total;
}

Season_to_date();

I did have a record that had no data, date or values. Deleted that. Also made sure my added records for Jan 1 had the value = 0 for donations (that field was empty).
Now the script runs without errors with the original lines, or those lines replaced with the above correction for undefined.

But, all my records have nothing in the Totals value. All blank.

I checked the script window and the value = number. Also the field Total is calculated and that value = decimal with zero decimal places.

Stopped the program, loaded it again and brought up the Form and refreshed it many times and no totals show up.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks. Code below just so you know what I’m working with.

function Season_to_date() {
	
	var records = form.getRecords();
    	var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

    	if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
        	var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
    	} else {
     		return 0;
    	}

	// Is this the beginning of the year?
	var date = record.getFieldValue('fld-0720a5baa6fc4980aee22798bd089714');
	
		if (date != undefined && date.getMonth() == 0 && date.getDate() == 1){
	}
//	if (date.getMonth() == 0 && date.getDate() == 1){
	//	return 0;
	//}
	
	var today = record.getFieldValue('fld-61c03b767f2c497491d10a28db8abdb3');
	var previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue('fld-f6bc7e82da874579940fb8afc167dac4');
	var total = today + previous_total;
	
	console.log("Today: " + today)
	console.log("Previous: " + previous_total)
	console.log("Total: " + total)
	
	return total;
}

Season_to_date();

I just ran it again to verify and I get using one statement:
2/16/23, 9:26:49 AM / Donations / Yearly
Yearly: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘date.getMonth’), line:(null)

The other statement gives me:
2/16/23, 9:29:25 AM / Donations / Yearly
Today: undefined
Previous: undefined
Total: NaN

I’m really confused. Don’t know what is going on.
Here is my file.
I would like to see my donations for any single year that I can see with a search view.
I have a script in the Total Field and a similar one (maybe different now) in the Script designer field.

You still need to reset the year-to-date field at the beginning of the year.

	if (date.getMonth() == 9 && date.getDate() == 1){
		return 0;
	}

Needs to be

	if (date.getMonth() == 0 && date.getDate() == 1){
		return 0;
	}

The function should look like this:

function Season_to_date() {
	
	var records = form.getRecords();
    	var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

    	if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
        	var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
    	} else {
     		return 0;
    	}

	// Is this the beginning of the year?
	var date = record.getFieldValue('fld-0720a5baa6fc4980aee22798bd089714');
	if (date.getMonth() == 0 && date.getDate() == 1){
		return 0;
	}
	
	var today = record.getFieldValue('fld-61c03b767f2c497491d10a28db8abdb3');
	var previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue('fld-f6bc7e82da874579940fb8afc167dac4');
	var total = today + previous_total;
	
	console.log("Today: " + today)
	console.log("Previous: " + previous_total)
	console.log("Total: " + total)
	
	return total;
}

Season_to_date();

And again, this only works if there is a record for January 1st.

That didn’t help. I get error in line 16 and playing with that I’m not sure where I’m at.
Added a backtick char.

Here is the code I was using for my rain totals, but the rain season was from Oct 1 to Sept 31 of each year which required a loop I think to check for the end of the season. Since for this purpose, the year I’m grouping is for the tax year Jan 1 to Dec 31. So, didn’t think I needed the search for Oct 1 date. I thought if I took out that portion that this script would do the job of letting me see all years worth of donations and set up a view of only one specific year and see donations starting at 0 and adding up the amounts until Dec 31. Seemed simple.

This is the Rain script, so I assume I have to replace the id code like this (‘fld-0720a5baa6fc4980aee22798bd089714) with the id code for the field I want in my donation form.

So, do I have to start over or can I use this code with the correct changes. Sorry, thought this would be easy. Hopeful and thank you.

Thanks for the script for rain totals. Now I figure I can make that do the same for donations. Am I on the right track? I keep getting syntax errors or other errors trying to get the syntax right. Am I way off track? Attached is my screen shot. I can’t seem to get the {} deletions right.

– I deleted the “beginning of the year” section.
– Replaced the variables “today” & “previous_total” ID values with the ones appropriate for my form. Now it looks like this.

function Season_to_date() {
	
	var records = form.getRecords();
    	var currentRecordIndex = records.indexOf(record);

    	if (currentRecordIndex > 0) {
        	var previousRecord = records[currentRecordIndex-1];
    	} else {
     		return 0;
// xx = line deleted
xx    	}
xx	// Is this the beginning of the year?
xx	var date = record.getFieldValue('fld-0720a5baa6fc4980aee22798bd089714');
xx	if (date.getMonth() == 9 && date.getDate() == 1){
xx		return 0;
	}
	
	var today = record.getFieldValue('xxxxx');  //replaced val with my value from form
	var previous_total = previousRecord.getFieldValue('fld-xxxxx');  //replaced val with my value from form
	var total = today + previous_total;
	
	console.log("Today: " + today)
	console.log("Previous: " + previous_total)
	console.log("Total: " + total)
	
	return total;
