05/02/2018, 12:36 PMNah. that will tell me the current field. I need to know if, for example, the item selected caused the department to change
screnshaw
05/02/2018, 12:36 PMSo if the item is selected, the dept automatically changes. I need to know if the item value changed, if it did, empty out the department

if (context.fieldid === 'item') { empty the department field }s
screnshaw
05/02/2018, 12:43 PMThe item fires and then the department fires, so at the point that the item is changed, the department has yet to receive a value

screnshaw
05/02/2018, 12:46 PMit can't be both though at the same time

karlenigma
05/02/2018, 12:46 PMthat's true
karlenigma
05/02/2018, 12:47 PMhmmmm
karlenigma
05/02/2018, 12:47 PMThis is on a client??
karlenigma
05/02/2018, 12:48 PMMaybe store the item value when record loads and then use that to compare.
karlenigma
05/02/2018, 12:48 PMsorry just spitballing here.

screnshaw
05/02/2018, 12:57 PMno worries. That's what I had, but this is going to be dynamic so I'm going to need to do it for multiple
screnshaw
05/02/2018, 12:58 PMwhat I may be able to do is add it to an array object and keep a comparison. Then when the right pair matches up, set a "need to be empty" flag to true. Then once the dept is emptied, set it back to false

05/02/2018, 1:14 PMYou could insert the logic into the postSourcing field, as this would fire for the Department field but only when it is being set by something else (in this case the item field)
wjamieson
05/02/2018, 1:15 PMIf Department can be set by anything else then you’d perhaps want to include a boolean that gets set to true when item field is picked and back to false after your department has cleared, and only change department if the boolean is true
