nuBuilder Forum

Basically, I need to change the value of a database field before it is displayed in an edit form.

For, examle, I might set a date to the current date (say, as a last modification date)

I can set a default value for a new record easilly, but can't figure out how to do it on an existing record.

Agnar, you could use nuLoadThis() function in Custom Code > Javascript.
For example: If the field isn't on the form you can:

• use AJAX call to get the value from DB;
• load the value field in a hidden field on the form.

If you change the value via Javascript, remember to update the field in DB using uDB() function.

Hope this helps,
