How do I get the value of FORM fields when executing Javascript from a Button?

Jaymer

Go to a Form.
Add a new button in a form cell which does "execute javascript".

In that JS, I want to call a function, but I need the values of form fields.
having trouble with syntax.

cant use the usual suspects:
<<Cust.CustNum>>
{Cust.CustNum}
data["Cust.CustNum"]

tried var tag = parser.getField ("CustNum").getValue (); but "parser" is unknown. This is normally used in a Render script.

Plenty of examples for getting this in a Grid using the "parser" object.
Pretty sure I've done this before... just can't find it.

I often use jQuery for things like that. To do this in Aware, set an ID for the input (myformfield) and then use this script:

var myformfield = $('#myformfield').val();

I thought this was going to work, but there is no place for me to enter a cell id.

I am on a form.
the form has a child reference field "om_images"
the images are in a custom layout
there are right-click operations defined in "operations with records" - this creates a pop-up menu on right-click on PC and also works nicely on tablet.
one of those operations uses "Execute Javascript" where I want to call a script and I need access to fields in that BO's instance.

"parser" is unknown, i assumed because I wasn't in a traditional grid.
But i guess I'm not in a traditional form either.

@Support surely should know how?

Was there ever been an answer for this?

Jim, I don’t think I got a specific answer.
I think I just changed what I was doing, but it was so long ago, I can barely think of which app this was about.
But it depends on if you’re trying to get access to a field on a form or in a grid, because the syntax is different.
Perhaps you might need to start a new post with your exact situation.
