Hello,
I created this topic because I am trying to find how to retrieve field values from a subform or an iFrame to update a field in the main form.
I can update fields in subforms or iframe but not the other way around ...
If you are an idea

I just read the posts and the wiki,
I had already read them,
but it's a question of passing a field value from a 'mainForm' to a 'subForm'.
I do it well and in several ways.
In the wiki it says that with :
object = nuSubformObject(string1) ,
string1 : Subform Object id **Passing an empty string will return the main Edit Form as a Subform object.
but when I test it doesn't work.
I want to pass the value of a field contained in a 'subForm' to a field contained in a 'mainForm', like this :

I'm looking for a way to write it with a function or a command but I'm blocked because despite 3 days of reading, videos or wiki, I don't get the result unless I redo my way of working on my application...
I am not a confirmed developer in JScript, I already made code for web but there it is a little hard to integrate everything. To learn is pretty good as a solution but here I am a little frustrated

The picture isn't showing a subform but rather a form in a run object (right?). How did you add Tmp_Tiers to that browse form?

Hi,

Yes, i was wrong in my previous post
How did you add Tmp_Tiers to that browse form?
it is a temporary field that I have in the table 'Tbl_Dossier'. I wanted to use it to filter the second Run :: iframe
I tried to integrate the command 'nuRunFilter' but it seems that a parameter does not work or is not referenced.
when i test the following code, i can see 'alert' 1 and 2 but not 3.
Code: Select all
if(nuFormType() == 'edit') {
alert("hello! 1");
nuHide('Ref_Dossier');
alert("hello! 2");
nuFilterRun('Form_Gestion_Tiers',$("#Form_Gestion_Intervenants").contents().find("#Ref_Tiers_Intervenants").val());
alert("hello! 3");
if(nuIsNewRecord()){
$('#Ref_Dossier_Intervenants')
.val(parent.nuFORM.getCurrent().record_id)
.change();
}
}
In the console I get:

Is this normal?

For me It is very difficult to understand why it does not work.
Ideally you upload a dump of your database (or the relevant forms) or send it to me via email. (with privat data removed of course)
Or you can create a Minimal, Reproducible Example (
https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal- ... le-example) and upload it here.

ok,
I understand, I will send you an email with a backup of my database.
there is no private data because I am in development.
How to send you an email please ?

You can send it to this email address: (removed. Ask me, if you still want to send it...)

joecocs,
Can you confirm - by trying in the browser's console (F12) that this is valid.
Code: Select all
$("#Form_Gestion_Intervenants").contents().find("#Ref_Tiers_Intervenants").val()
Or maybe try hardcoding the second parameter to a string.

Steven,
yes I confirm that the returned value is the correct one with this :
Code: Select all
$("#Form_Gestion_Intervenants").contents().find("#Ref_Tiers_Intervenants").val()
you can specify your idea to try the hardcoding please
I tried to code with variables and functions.
The problem didn't just recover the value but to transmit it to the second Run :: iframe
