NSOA.form.get_value(field)

Use this function to get the value of the field on the form. Keep in mind, any pick lists (for example Customer:Project, Employee, Expense item) will return an internal_id and not a text value. In this release, only fields directly related to the form are available (for example no related table lookups are available now).

Parameters

field {string} [required] — The name of the field on the form.

Returns

The value of the field on the form as a string.

Units Limit
