I'm Having Trouble inserting searchable error phrase

[Josh]

I am trying to ensure that no matter the amount variable tagged text elements we have, that we can search the output for missing variables from the data.

I know I would have to do something along the lines of the following JS for each variable we use, but I am hoping I can do this in the OnRecordStart rule and it will work in the individual text rules that already exist outside of the ORS.

var greetingText = '<span color="' + Greet_color + '" font="' + Greet_font + '" pointsize="' + Greet_size + '">';

//Inserting Empty Field! when data is absent
if (Field("Greeting") == "")
    greetingText += "Empty Field!" + '</span>';
else
    greetingText += Field("Salutation") + " " + Trim(Field("Greeting")) + Field("Punctuation") + '</span>';

Hi Josh,


This should get you started. You can put this in your OnRecordRule and it will return "Error" when a field is empty.

for (var field in FusionPro.Fields) {
    result = Field(field);
    
    if (result == "") {
        result = "ERROR"
    }
    
   FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable(field, result);

}

UPDATE: This doesn't appear to work to replace fields placed in rules. I will see if I can find a solution unless you or someone else beats me to it. (c:



Hope this helps.
