Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to get a script to launch after data is input into a certain field; Specifically, a radio button field.

Can you gurus help?

Thanks,

Chris

If you want to trigger a script after entering data into a field, you can try to use an event plugin such as EventScript or ZippScript.

However, since you are talking about a Radio button field, you can just put "clear" buttons where the user would click the radio button. The invisible buttons can have script parameters attached to them to pass a value of which radio value it represents. Then you can use the script parameter in your script.

Note

Another possibility is to define a calculation field that makes a decision on the input of your radiobutton field. I know it's not so flexible as a script but for me preferable for ‘well-organized’ reasons.

Hey Vodka,

I've tried the "clear" button method, but it doesn't work because if it is arranged above the radio buttons, you can't click a button. If it is arranged below the radio buttons, the "clear" button won't be pressed at all... Guess I'll have to go for a plugin. Do I have to put that plug-in just on the server, or on every single workstation that accesses the database?

AVD128 - That sounds like a good idea, but the calculation field will continuously be calculating, right? That's no good for me, because I need the calculation to happen just once at a certain point in time, and then never again unless the radio button is clicked again.

Thanks,

Chris

Sounds very similar to this.

EDIT:

Or is it this one?

You have in incorporate as part of your script a Set field [] to set your field to the script parameter value you passed.
