nuBuilder Forum

Hi

I have set up Copy and Paste buttons on a Browse and Edit form. From my graphic below, I would like to Copy the contents from one or many fields (left side) and Paste them onto similar fields (right side) with different id's.. I also would like to do the same with some fields from a subform.

COPY
I used the following code to Copy only two fields, however, it only works with one field. PASTE
I used the following code to Paste the above two fields, however the various browsers I have tried, it does not work and they all throw the error marked on the graphic below. I tested it out with only one field but I get the same result.

I also tried nuGetValue() and nuSetValue() but did not manage to get it to work. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

---------------

I do not recommend using the clipboard for this purpose. Use nuGetValue(), nuSetValue():

Make sure that the Ids are correct (case sensitive):

Hi Kevin

That code works perfectly. One more question, how do I copy/paste the fields of a subform, that I have on the left side of the form, onto to the right (same) subform having different field id's, updating the same customer id?

Yes, I always use lower caps for id's, on my post I typed it incorrectly. Thanks

You will need JavaScript knowledge to be able to achieve that. nuSubformObject() returns a JavaScript object that can be looped through. Then use nuSetValue() to set a cell's value.

Hi Kevin

I will look into it to see if I can get it to work.

Thank you for your help,

Hi Kevin

To solve the copy of data from a subform to the clipboard problem, I applied the snippet code from 4.0 library https://github.com/smalos/nuBuilder4-Co ... _clipboard because version 4.5 https://github.com/nuBuilder/nuBuilder- ... _clipboarddoes not work as it missing a big chunk of custom code.

nuSubformToClipboard() and the related functions have been included in nuBuilder's core libraries. If you don't find them in nuform.js, update nuBuilder to the latest version.

Hi Kevin

I am running on:

DB Version: V.4.5-2021.08.05.01
Files Version: V.4.5-2021.08.06.01

I checked nuform.js code and yes all subfomtoCliboard() related functions are there. Not sure why it only worked after I added the 4.0 code.

Thanks

That's quite strange.

When I run in the Access Levels form, the subform data is copied to the Clipboard.
