XML import to change field state

[Former Community Member]

I am importing xml into a form.  I have some if expressions to change the state of a field based on the value of xml fields. Here is my expression for the color - initialize event: if (Lv= "blue"){ this.fontColor="0,0,204"; }else if (Lv = "black"){ this.fontColor="0,0,0";} Lv is a field from the original form. Here is what's going on - the first fontColor value in the expression gets applied no matter what Lv is equal to. So in this case,  the fontColor ="0,0,204" gets applied even if Lv="black".  It's almost as if the event is ingoring if expression and just pickng up the "this.fontColor" statement. Any ideas?

Hi,

In your if statement try a double ==, which you use when testing equality. Also if there are only two incoming colours, you could drop the other if statement and just run with an else.

if (Lv.rawValue == "blue")

{

     this.fontColor = "0,0,204";

}

else

{

     this.fontColor = "0,0,0";

}

Good luck,

Niall

My bad: It depends on how you are bringing in the XML, but I presume Lv is one field receiving XML data. Because the language is javascript, you will need .rawValue for the Lv field.
