I added a computed field to a form. I need an agent that will run and populate that field. The field is a computed type and the calculation that runs is an @dblookup. May I use a simple action in an agent? Not good with lotuscript. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Subject: Agent: how to modify field that’s computed
It’s pretty easy to modify a computed field with an agent. This will do it:
FIELD Youe_Field_Name := "The value you want to set";
However, if the field is set to compute to a specific value via formula or somesuch, next time the relevant documents are opened and re-saved, note that this field will re-compute. What code do you havebehind the field? Is the field only there to be set by an agent? If so, it should compute to itself (i.e. the field formula is its name) – does it?
