Confiforms: String Functions (e.g. substring) when setting values

Dan_tw7z7p

New to Confluence - so thanks in advance for any info (or redirection to documentation) that anyone can provide.

When setting values using Confiforms Rules for Field Definition, how can I perform string functions? Is there any documentation?

e.g. in my Values to Set:

IssueDescription=[entry.original_description]

I want to perform a substring, possibly using regular expressions, on the original description.

Thanks again!

Hi @Dan

You can see what functions are available in ConfiForms here - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions

Thanks - it seems that the string manipulation functions are very minimal? Any thoughts on how I could readily extract the third word or phrase from the below string using virtual functions?

|Foo|Bar|Bah - I want this piece|Bat|

Thanks again!

You can always have a custom call to a JavaScript function if you are using the server/dc version and JavaScript support is not disabled by your admins

Here is a demo with "minimal string manipulation functions" - http://recordit.co/jEk8c627Hs

Yes, I'm exploring that front too. The string manipulation part is easy, but the impediment I'm hitting on that side is that I don't know how to set all types of ConfiForms Form Field Definitions from javascript. I can set (and query) using:

AJS.$('#' + formId).find('#i_fieldToUpdate').val(valueToSet)

The above works for "text" and "textarea" field types, but the val() function seems to not work for the "Jira Issue" or "Dropdown" types. Which is ultimately what I'm trying to get to. Is there a list of AJS javascript functions and what they return for each field type? Or am I taking the wrong route there and there's a better javascript way?

Thanks yet again!

ps. I can't follow the recordit dot co link from inside work, but I'll check it out later.
