hi in a UE script when i try to set the value of a name field with the selected option of a SELECt field, it fails in CREATE mode and it works in EDIT mode

becasue i need the text value of teh SELECT

it's a pain, but you can't perform a getText() on a field if it hasn't been saved yet

so i should move it to a after submit then?

nope; the way around it is to do a search.lookupFields() to get it

you can also do it after Submit, but in that case you'll end up with a double-save

so either do a lookup in beforesubmit; or a double-save by having it in aftersubmit

what is your other suggestion i have not understood sorry

say that the SELECT field is called "xxx"

right now you're going var X = context.newRecord.getText("xxx")

now, instead, you'll do var X = search.lookupFields({type: "whatever the record/list type is", value: context.newRecord.getValue("xxx"), columns: ["name"]}).name;
