Copying Data from Popup Form to Main Form
Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2025 10:29 pm
Hello,
I have two forms linked via the patient_id.
The main form is a browse and edit form.
It has a button that opens a popup form (edit form).
In the popup, there's a note field (a text area).
I would like to copy the content of this note field into the main form, specifically into a textarea field called cs_CR.
I tried using the following code behind a button in the popup:
But it doesn't work — apparently the main form’s fields are not accessible from the popup. The console reports that the object does not exist.
One possible solution would be to call a server-side procedure to update the main form field.
However, I'm wondering if there's a simpler or cleaner alternative to achieve this?
Thanks a lot for your continuous help.
