How can I automatically trigger an event in a Suitelet when a number is entered in a text box?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To automatically trigger an event in a Suitelet when a number is entered in a text box, you can use a client script attached to your Suitelet. Here's a general idea of how you can do it: 1. In your Suitelet, add a client script using the

clientScriptModulePath

parameter when you create the form. This will allow you to run client-side code (like capturing user input) in conjunction with your server-side Suitelet. 2. In your client script, use the

fieldChanged

event to trigger an action when the value of your text box changes. This event fires whenever a field is changed on the form. 3. Inside the

fieldChanged

function, you can access the new value of the field using

context.currentRecord.getValue({fieldId: 'your_field_id'})

. Here's a simplified example:

javascript
// In your Suitelet
var form = serverWidget.createForm({
    title: 'My Form',
    clientScriptModulePath: './MyClientScript.js' // Path to your client script file
});
var textField = form.addField({
    id: 'my_text_field',
    type: serverWidget.FieldType.TEXT,
    label: 'My Text Field'
});

javascript
// In MyClientScript.js
function fieldChanged(context) {
    if (context.fieldId === 'my_text_field') {
        var newValue = context.currentRecord.getValue({fieldId: 'my_text_field'});
        // Do something with newValue
    }
}

Remember to replace

'my_text_field'

with the actual ID of your text box field. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
