Run Code once on form load

[Former Community Member]

Hi Guys,

I have a text field (TextField1)  that populates with a value (1-100)

On initial load of the form this value will be the highest.

As the user navigates around the form this number will change (lower than the initial load)

I have another text field (TextField2) on the form which I want to hold the initial value at load of the form.

something like: TextField2.rawValue = TextField1.rawValue

But whichever event I put it in it always updates TextField2 with the value in TextField1 (it does not only run the code once on form load)

Can anyone advise how I can achieve this?

If the form loads with the number 70 as a value in TextField1 - TextField2 has 70 as a value and keeps that value regardless of what TextField1 changes to..

Many thanks for any help

try putting in the docReady event of TextField2:

$ = TextField1.rawValue

Thanks whyisthisme,

I tried this,

The form loads and both fields show the latest number (70)

but when TextField1 is changed the value in TextField2 disappears?

it does not repopilate even if I repopulate TextField1 with the original value (70)

Thanks for your help

Is there any other code in or relating to TextField2?

Ok - after a closer look i think I have found it.

The docReady event works fine and the form locks off if i manually change the value in TextField1.

As part of the script that changes the value in TextField1 there is an xfa.form.remerge() and I think this is what is stopping it from working.
