yes david is correct,
you can address the variables without going to server.

Re: Simple - Copy field value to another in a grid

I'm about to give up. I know we are real close, but it doesn't work.

It's component type is updateable grid. layout is form.

you asked then a wrong question. mixing up dialog and grid.
take a look at the screencast in the post#6
it does copy in a grid.

okay now it makes sense:
you have updatable grid in new record entry which is at the bottom of the grid.
since this is grid you cannot use 'D' place holder, you have to use 'G' place holder and row number.

copy the following

var add1={grid.Object}.getValue('G','MailingAddress1',{grid.rowNumber});
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','PhysicalAddressLine1',{Grid.RowNumber},add1);

(correct the names as you need them)
and check.

Re: Simple - Copy field value to another in a grid

take a look at this screencast:

http://screencast.com/t/E3PgdyKkgw

var bill_add1 = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_ADDRESS_1',{Grid.RowNumber});
var bill_add2 = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_ADDRESS_2',{Grid.RowNumber});
var bill_city = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_CITY',{Grid.RowNumber});
var bill_state = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_STATE_REGION',{Grid.RowNumber});
var bill_postalcode = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_POSTAL_CODE',{Grid.RowNumber});
var bill_country = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','BILL_COUNTRY',{Grid.RowNumber});

{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_ADDRESS_1',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_add1);
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_ADDRESS_2',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_add2);
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_CITY',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_city);
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_STATE_REGION',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_state);
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_POSTAL_CODE',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_postalcode);
{grid.Object}.setValue('G','SHIP_COUNTRY',{Grid.RowNumber},bill_country);

this is the code that copies all the data to the shipping address.

Re: Simple - Copy field value to another in a grid

I am trying to do this same thing. Using a button on a new record in a dialog. The record has not been saved yet, but I need a button to copy address info.

C'mon now... you really have to pick one... Grid or UX???

lol - def some confusion here kstans. Dont worry though as I think everyone has been there and understands your frustrations.

you should post exactly what type of component and if you are in detail view or grid view. If you are using a UX component then you would use the other code david posted

var _phone = {dialog.Object}.getValue('PHONE');
{dialog.Object}.setValue('FAX', _phone);

I have to say I still learned something though with David and Ghandi's combined posts - it shows now only how to do it in a dialog but a grid as well and in the grid view or the detail view - so even though there is some frustration there is still some good here - ALOT.

Kstans - take some time to read over the posts as they apply to your situation. Don't worry once you get it - you'll KNOW it.
Keep trying!
