Hello, community!
I am trying to fill other list while saving the form,
some how below code is completely work in spRender method, but not in spBeforeSave,
fd.spBeforeSave(function () {
//
//Check for myTUMid in calculation list, if it is there than we hve to update record, or else save as new record
pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.filter(`MyTUMid eq '${fd.field('Mytumlogin').value}'`).get().then(function (val) {
console.log(val, "val")
if (val.length > 0) {
alert("Updated item ");
alert(val[0].Id);
var updatedItem = pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.getById(val[0].Id).update({
Title: "Updated Title2"
}).then(function (result) {
alert('update done');
});
}
else {
calculationListData();
}
});
function calculationListData() {
alert("New item will be added");
var list = pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation");
list.items.add({
workExternalHoursTotal: fd.field('TotalHoursActiveContracts').value,
MyTUMid: fd.field('Mytumlogin').value
}).then(function () {
console.log("Created!");
});
}
});
Is there any problem in there?, but it is work perfectly in render method,
when i debug the code, it also flow in mysterious way.
Additionally how can i use async and await in JS?
Thanks.
Hello @harshp924,
You can use setTimeout() method like this:
function update(id) {
pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.getById(id).update({
Title: "Updated Title2"
}).then(function (result) {
alert('update done');
});
}
function calculationListData() {
alert("New item will be added");
var list = pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation");
list.items.add({
workExternalHoursTotal: fd.field('TotalHoursActiveContracts').value,
MyTUMid: fd.field('Mytumlogin').value
}).then(function () {
console.log("Created!");
});
}
fd.spBeforeSave(function () {
//
//Check for myTUMid in calculation list, if it is there than we hve to update record, or else save as new record
pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.filter(`MyTUMid eq '${fd.field('Mytumlogin').value}'`).get().then(function (val) {
console.log(val, "val")
var id = (val[0].Id);
if (id) {
alert("Updated item ");
alert(id);
setTimeout(update(id), 1000);
}
else {
setTimeout(calculationListData(), 3000);
}
});
});

Hello, @mnikitina

my problem is when i try to get request digest, function is not waiting for request coming back, so post operation is not successfully execute, is there any other way i can get request digest and update in list item..?
Thanks.
Hello @harshp924,
Please try to add return statement and change the filter query "MyTUMid eq '" + fd.field('Mytumlogin').value + "'" like this:
function update(id) {
pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.getById(id).update({
Title: "Updated Title2"
}).then(function (result) {
alert('update done');
});
}
function calculationListData() {
alert("New item will be added");
var list = pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation");
list.items.add({
workExternalHoursTotal: fd.field('TotalHoursActiveContracts').value,
MyTUMid: fd.field('Mytumlogin').value
}).then(function () {
console.log("Created!");
});
}
fd.spBeforeSave(function () {
//
//Check for myTUMid in calculation list, if it is there than we hve to update record, or else save as new record
return pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Calculation").items.filter("MyTUMid eq '" + fd.field('Mytumlogin').value + "'").get().then(function (val) {
console.log(val, "val")
var id = (val[0].Id);
if (id) {
alert("Updated item ");
alert(id);
setTimeout(update(id), 1000);
}
else {
setTimeout(calculationListData(), 1000);
}
});
});
If that doesn't work, please debug the code outside of spBeforeSave event.
