Hi everyone;

I have "CH" prefix for all my change orders; defined in configuration. I also have a custom INT attribute - let's call it ztype -, which I set to 1,2 or 3 by creating a new Change Order - in the htmpl file.

What I want to achieve is to set different prefixes for change orders with ztype 2 or 3.

ztype = 1   -> CH

ztype = 2   -> CR

ztype = 3   -> CO

I can set the value with spl codes via pre_validate or post_validate operators. But I also want to see the CR or CO before saving the change order. I want to modify the "$args.chg_ref_num" value.

Is that possible?

Hi,

So the prefix isn’t set until ztype is selected? Does the user select this field or does it happen in the background? If the user is selecting it you’ll need to manipulate the dom, otherwise a pre_validate trigger will work.

Hi gbruneau;

Actually I set the ztype value on popup URL like "PRESET=ztype:2"

user doesn't select anything

up to this value I show / hide some fields on detail_chg.htmpl

But as you know, change number is visible even we don't save. So I want to modify it if it's possible.

Not sure how well this will work, but try it out. Put this next to the PDM_SET macro.

You can change the "CHG" test to your desired prefix, it will only be displayed on the initial change order form.

//Change Order not yet initially saved
if(argID == 0 && document.getElementsByTagName('h2')[0].innerText.indexOf("Create New Change Order") == 0){
  document.getElementsByTagName('h2')[0].innerText = 'Create New Change Order CHG' + argChgRefNum;
}

Dear gbruneau;

Thank you for your advice. Referring your code; I tried the replacement below and it worked for me. 

Of course; I also have a pre_validate operation for setting the chg_ref_num by saving the record.

if(argID == 0 && argzType== 1)
{
document.getElementsByTagName('h2')[0].innerText = 'Create Request ' + argChgRefNum.replace('CH','ER');
}

You're welcome! Glad that worked out.
