Can a newly added custom field return a value without saving the page?

 

For example, when I enter the supplier code on the manual supplier invoice screen, I want to see the information I want from the supplier from a costom field. However, I want to see the page without saving it.

Hi @ADNAN,

Is this with the idea of reviewing the supplier information to confirm they are suitable prior to save? If so, this would usually be done by setting the supplier code field to be a lookup and then configuring the related lookup screen to display the fields containing the information you are interested in. This would then let you view suppliers on the lookup screen before selecting the appropriate one to save on the main supplier invoice screen.

Kind regards,

hi Adnan,

the custom field framework will not refresh (populate) a read-only field before you save.  The necessary underlying field values in the table don’t exist “yet” (namely, rowkey).

I’d agree with Lee, you may be able to display some info in the LOV.

If you’re talking about using Aurena, the Supplier selector is configurable using page designer so you might be able to put some useful feedback data in there.
