Save form without clicking the save button and without closing the form

Forms SharePoint 2019
1

Hello,

I would like to cache the form as soon as a certain status is set. But without closing it and without pressing the button.

if (fd.formType == 'Edit'){
            fd.field('Status').$on('change',checkStatus);
             fd.save();
}

For this I used the function fd.save();. This closes the form. However, it should be possible to continue working.

Best regards

Hello @Sternchen,

You can change the behavior of the form after saving the data. Please find the code example in Prevent redirection on save article.

When I click on the Save button, I should of course be redirected normally. Only if I save automatically in between, as soon as the status changes, no forwarding should take place.

@Sternchen,

You need to use this code in the JavaScript editor:

fd.spSaved(function(result) {
    result.RedirectUrl = null;
});


fd.spRendered(function() {

    fd.field('FieldName').$on('change', function(value) {
        if (value === '33') {
            fd.save();
        }
    })

});

And this code in the Save button's Click property:

var redirect = fd.source;
fd.spSaved(function(result) {
    result.RedirectUrl = redirect;
});

return fd.save();

Thanks for the help but where is the click button in the form?
I can´t see one. It´s the default save button from sp.

I don´t think I can change the behavior.

@Sternchen,

You can add a custom buttons to the form and hide toolbar:

Or customize the toolbar button behavior:

//change save button click function
fd.toolbar.buttons[0].click = function() {
    var redirect = fd.source;
    fd.spSaved(function(result) {
        result.RedirectUrl = redirect;
    });
    return fd.save();
}

I used your second option and it worked just fine. Thank you.
