[daniel.passarini]

your editviewdefs file should have something like this:

             'name' => 'country',
            'label' => 'LBL_COUNTRY',
            'displayParams'=>array('javascript'=>'onchange="fillOtherField()"'),

The safest option is to create a view.edit.php in custom/modules/SystemModule/views/ (for the default modules)
ou in modules/YourNewModule/views/ (for your custom modules)
in this file you put:

 if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');

class YourModuleViewEdit extends ViewEdit{
    
    function YourModuleViewEdit() {
        parent::ViewEdit();
    }
    
    function display(){    
               /// HERE IS THE FILE WHERE YOU CAN PUT YOU JS FUCTIONS
        echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="custom/include/javascript/you_js_utils.js"></script>';
        
        parent::display();
    }
} 
  

I hope it helps

Daniel,

wouldn't it be easier to use the javascript or include property in the metadata of the view? Also allows you to do such things if the view is already redefined.

Hi Vijay,

I did it in the following way.
I did it in the Accounts module for the "Account Type" and ownership
go to custom/module/Accounts/metadata
Then in the editviewdefs.php
add the following bold line in account_type
'name' => 'account_type',
'label' => 'LBL_TYPE',
'displayParams'=>array('javascript'=>'onchange="dy namicfill1()"')

Then in the same editviewdefs.php file add the bold line:
'includes' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'file' => 'modules/Accounts/Account.js',
'file' => 'custom/modules/Accounts/customfile.js',
),


Then add the customfile.js in the custom/modules/Accounts with the following codes

function dynamicfill1()
{
if(document.getElementById('account_type').value =='Analyst')
{
document.getElementById('ownership').value='alpha' ;
}

if(document.getElementById('account_type').value =='Customer')
{
document.getElementById('ownership').value='Beta';
}
if(document.getElementById('account_type').value =='Press')
{
document.getElementById('ownership').value='Gama';
}
if(document.getElementById('account_type').value =='Partner')
{
document.getElementById('ownership').value='Zeta';
}
}

The procedure is that when you select account_type=Analyst then alpha will be added in the ownership field similarly if you press Customer in the account type then Beta will be printed in the ownership field
