Question

I’m using jquery Populate to dynamically populate a field with the previous Firstname and Surname fields. All fields are in the same form.
The problem is when I populate the field using Populate javascript:
$(formname).populate(newfieldvalue)

It clears all the other form fields. Is there a way I can keep the other fields intact. It’s a large form so I would prefer not to pass all the values back through.

Answer 1

You need to set resetForm to be false (default is true) in the options hash which is passed to populate.

$(formname).populate(newfieldvalue, {resetForm: false});
