With excellent help, I have this expression that should display when the former value is filled. What is missing? I also need the value to populate a database field and it doesn’t.
BTW, feel free to direct me to some online training as well.
Hey @pelletierm714. Expression will not display anything. You will get expression’s value(s) and use it in anywhere you want. See below text that shows the result of the expression for example:
And here is the expression:
I fee like I’m missing one simple step.
Then, you should test the expression if it really returns something for your dynamic data. Because that’s the way to use expression element. Probably you custom JS is not working?
I apologize. I do not know how to test something in this environment. I’m an R coder…
When I said test, I mean there might be something wrong with your custom written JS over there. Make sure there is nothing wrong with that. You can do small manual tests like:
- Instead of passing the dynamic value of
Parent group's birthdate Data's FirtSum, pass a hardcoded value (whatever that is: a number?) and see if it works like this. Then, gradually try some other stuff.
Thank you for that tip! I’ll try it.
I have tested it with some hardcoded value 44. And it looks like working. So, the only logical explanation left is your dynamic data is not coming from wherever it is: Parent group's birthdate Data's FirstSum. Make sure this data is coming to the expression correctly.
So I decided to use menu items to calculate the value but it still won’t show on the page. It’s computing and storing in the database fine, but will not show up.
any hints? I still feel like it’s something simple.
