on_field_get_text

on_field_get_text(field)

domain: client

language: javascript

class Item class

Description

Write an on_field_get_text event handler to perform custom processing for the display_text property. If the event handler does not return a value, the application uses the display_text property value to display the field value in the data-aware controls, otherwise the returned value will be used.

The field parameter is the field whose display_text is processed. To get the item that owns the field, use the owner attribute of the field.

Example

function on_field_get_text(field) {
    if (field.field_name === 'customer') {
        return field.owner.firstname.lookup_text + ' ' + field.lookup_text;
    }
}
