Hi all,
I have a provisioning form in my application and I would only like a field to be manually filled up once by the user. On the backend, I would like another field to just reference the same value a user has filled up.
My current code is throwing an error where getField is An unexpected error occurred: Typed variable declaration : Attempt to resolve method: getField() on undefined variable or class name: form : at Line: 1
My code is as below where I want field2 to be the same as field1 value which user will manually input in the provisioning form.
<ProvisioningForms>
<Form name="Create Account" objectType="account" type="Create">
<Attributes>
<Map>
<entry key="pageTitle" value="Create Account"/>
</Map>
</Attributes>
<Section>
<Field displayName="field1" name="field2" postBack="true" required="true" reviewRequired="true" type="string"/>
<Field displayName="field2" name="field2" type="string" dependencies="field1">
<Script>
<Source>form.getField("field1").getValue();</Source>
</Script>
</Field>
</Section>
</Form>
</ProvisioningForms>
Any help is appreciated!

I think, form models can be accessed by scripts within forms using the $() parsing
try this one
<ProvisioningForms>
<Form name="Create Account" objectType="account" type="Create">
<Attributes>
<Map>
<entry key="pageTitle" value="Create Account"/>
</Map>
</Attributes>
<Section>
<Field displayName="field1" name="field1" postBack="true" required="true" reviewRequired="true" type="string"/>
<Field displayName="field2" name="field2" type="string" dependencies="field1">
<Script>
<Source> return $(field1);</Source>
</Script>
</Field>
</Section>
</Form>
</ProvisioningForms>

Hi @shirbhatea what if I need to use the value to concat? Can I do something like:
String f1 = $(field1);
field2 = f1 + "testinggg";

Hi @shijingg ,
Once use the below code
<ProvisioningForms>
<Form name="Create Account" objectType="account" type="Create">
<Attributes>
<Map>
<entry key="pageTitle" value="Create Account"/>
</Map>
</Attributes>
<Section>
<Field displayName="field1" name="field1" dynamic="true" postBack="true" required="true" reviewRequired="true" type="string"/>
<Field displayName="field2" name="field2" type="string" dependencies="field1">

Hi @shijingg ,
You can try this updated code.form.getField() doesn’t work, so you should use fields.get() to read values.
<ProvisioningForms>
<Form name="Create Account" objectType="account" type="Create">
<Attributes>
<Map>
<entry key="pageTitle" value="Create Account"/>
</Map>
</Attributes>
<Section>
<Field displayName="Field 1" name="field1" postBack="true" required="true" reviewRequired="true" type="string"/>
<Field displayName="Field 2" name="field2" type="string" dependencies="field1" editable="false">
<Script>
<Source>
return fields.get("field1").getValue();
</Source>
</Script>
</Field>
</Section>
</Form>
</ProvisioningForms>
