Button to Copy Data from One Field to Another

[braxwell]

How would I change this code to pull data from an existing data field and place that value in another field?

 

script>
function onSubmitClick() {
var box1 = document.getElementById('box1');
var box2 = document.getElementById('box2');
box2.value = box1.value;
}
</script>

<textarea id='box1'></textarea>
<textarea id='box2'></textarea>
<button onclick='onSubmitClick(); return false'>Click Me</button>

Do you want to change it to Caspio format? Is it on a submission page? In submission pages IDs are in this format: InsertRecordFIELDNAME

 

So you need to have

<script>
function onSubmitClick() {
var box1 = document.getElementById('InsertRecordFILEDONE');
var box2 = document.getElementById('InsertRecordFILEDTWO');
box2.value = box1.value;
}
</script>

<button onclick='onSubmitClick(); return false'>Click Me</button>

 

Replace InsertRecordFILEDONE and InsertRecordFILEDTWO with the actual ID. To get the ID you can also right click on the element and from the window that opens select inspect element

Its a field in a reports data page.    I'm not having any luck getting this to work.

OK success - i had to change InsertRecord to EditRecord and that did the trick.
