Behaviour - Set field value from/copy another existing field IF "X" = Yes

Robert Bromley

When the user selects "Yes" on a field I want the next fields to be populated/copied from existing fields on the issue.

I have tried this but i know its not correct...

def selectListPreferred = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
String selectListPreferredValue = selectListPreferred.getValue()
selectListPreferred.clearError()

def cfApart = getFieldByName("Confirmed Apartment Name/Number")
def cfProApart = getFieldByName("Proposed Apartment Name/Number")

def cfProApartValue = cfProApart.getValue()


if (selectListPreferredValue == "Yes" )
{

cfApart.setFormValue(cfProApartValue)


}
else if (selectListPreferredValue == "No" )
{
cfApart.setFormValue(null)

}

Hi @Robert Bromley

Your code mostly seems correct.

I assume you have created a Server-Side Behaviour for the Select List Preferred field. Please confirm this. Kindly share a screenshot of your Behaviour configuration.

For your code, I suggest modifying the code slightly to:-

def selectListPreferred = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def selectListPreferredValue = selectListPreferred.value.toString()

def cfApart = getFieldByName('Confirmed Apartment Name/Number')

def cfProApart = getFieldByName('Proposed Apartment Name/Number')
def cfProApartValue = cfProApart.value

cfApart.setFormValue(null)

if (selectListPreferredValue == 'Yes' ) {
   cfApart.setFormValue(cfProApartValue)
}

If your behaviour configuration is correct, the code above will work as expected. But to double confirm, sharing a screenshot of the Behaviour config would be best.

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
