class Field class
Description¶
Use value property to get or set the value of the field.
Getting value¶
When field data is null, the field converts it to 0, if the field_type is “integer”, “float” or “currency”, or to empty string if field_type is “text”.
For lookup fields the value of this property is an integer that is the value of the id field of the corresponding record in the lookup item. To get lookup value of the field use the lookup_value property.
Setting value¶
When a new value is assigned, the field checks if the current value is not equal to the new one. If so it
sets its new_value attribute to this value,
triggers the on_before_field_changed event if one is defined for the field,
changes the field data to the new_value attribute and sets it to null,
mark item as modified, so the is_modified method will return true
triggers the on_field_changed event if one is defined for the field
updates data-aware controls
Example¶
function calc_total(item) {
item.amount.value = item.round(item.quantity.value * item.unitprice.value, 2);
item.tax.value = item.round(item.amount.value * item.owner.taxrate.value / 100, 2);
item.total.value = item.amount.value + item.tax.value;
}
