nuBuilder Forum

I have some JavaScript running when the onClick event fires for a button in the hope that it would popup an edit form populated with the current record of a Lookup object on the form:
I get the correct edit form to popup, but it is blank. Any ideas?

tonyd,

What does $('#myDOMObjectId')[0].dataset.nuObjectId return?

Try running nuPopup() with hardcoded values, to see if it does what it should.

Steven,

Well, after some banging of the head on my keyboard, I found out it does not return the record number that I need. Instead, I get the object ID, which doesn't help. Hard-coded values do work, so its not nuPopup().

Any idea how to return the record ID associated with a Lookup object on my form?

Hi,

You could use to retrieve the record id.

Nope, just gives the properties of the form, not the Lookup object on the form.

Came back as undefined.

OK, just to make sure my goal is clear, here is a shot of my "Matters" form, filled with several different nuBuilder objects: What I am trying to do is popup an Edit Form populated with the Lookup object's underlying record data, like this:

Did you run it in the PHP After Browse Event?

My idea would be to retrieve the primary key of the picked record and then store it in a field. Then, wenn you call nuPopup(), you pass that value as parameter.

nuSetFormValue('yourDOMFieldToStoreTheRecordId', nuLookupRecord()->ID);

This worked great! However, there remains a problem in that my yourDOMFieldToStoreTheRecordId is only updated after a browse, which means there is no value upon initial form creation. What I need is for the record ID from any Lookup object to be available when the form is first drawn. Currently, the only way is to put the LookupObjectRecord_id in the 'Code' field of the object, but that just looks ugly.

Just thinking out loud, but is there any part of the current code that draws out each object of the edit form where an attribute could be added to one of the elements to hold the record_id?

Thanks for all of your help!
