Bit field value not saving

Question

I have a field type BIT on my form and code which sets the value depending on another picklist field value selected.
Below code is on the OnChange of the picklist.

if(ckPicklist == 'Value1')
{
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = true;
 }
else
if(ckPicklist == 'Value2')
{
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = false;
 }

It's working fine however if I save the form and reopen it the set BIT value is not saved??

Answer 1

Hi,

if the bitfield is shown as picklist, you have to use crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = 1; to save the field as true.

Is the bitfield readonly on the form, you must use  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.forcesubmit = true; to save the changes in the database.

Answer 2

when I use:
crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = 1;
and crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = 0;

I get a error message saying "This control only supports true, false, or null as an input."

Field is not set as readonly.

Tested with the crmForm.all.new_bitValue.forcesubmit

works!!! Thanks. :)

Hi Michael,

I just realized im having the same issue with a different picklist not saving.

if(ckPicklist == 'Value1')
{
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = true;
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.forcesubmit;
  crmForm.all.new_Picklist2.SelectedText = 'something';
 }
else
if(ckPicklist == 'Value2')
{
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.DataValue = false;
  crmForm.all.new_bitValue.forcesubmit;
  crmForm.all.new_Picklist2.SelectedText = 'something else';
 }

I tried the forcesubmit but won't work?

Answer 5

Hi,

what you want to store, the Picklist2 or the bit field? The code you postet stores the bit field, not the picklist2.
To store the picklist2, use crmForm.all.new_Picklist2.forcesubmit = true;
