Edit Hidden Field with Formula

Hi all,

I have a button to show the hidden field and set its value:

‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’

Command( [RefreshHideFormulas] );

@Do(

@PostedCommand( [EditGotoField] ; “ReasonCode” );

@PostedCommand( [EditClear] ) ;

@PostedCommand( [EditInsertText] ; “” )));

‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’

However, Error prompt up

“Cannot Locate Field”.

It seems Notes pipeline all the commands at the same time. Is there any command that can wait for “Command( [RefreshHideFormulas] )” to finish? (i think it is ‘sleep()’ in LS)

Thanks

Sam

Can’t immediately see why this wouldn’t work as designed! In fact gave it a quick test in 6.5.1 and didn’t have any problems.

Is there a specific reason why you can’t use @SetField?

Hi Rufus,

Actually, I used the @Setfield() before:

‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’

@Command( [RefreshHideFormulas] );

@Setfield(“Field”; “Value”);

‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’

It runs without error. However, the field (editable) value is not changed. It seems @setfield only works for unhidden field…

I think @setfield/editInsert will work AFTER “Command( [RefreshHideFormulas] )” finish… So, how can i know that the Refresh command is finished?

Thanks

Sam

Hi Rufus,

Sorry, I made a mistake.

@setfield DOES update hidden field.

Thanks for your reply.
