Adding pre-defined text to a request offering textbox

Marc-Andre_Lafleur

Hi,

I'm trying to add pre-defined text to a Request Offering text area. Adding the text works well but when we submit the form, the portal act like there is nothing in the textbox.

For optional fields, it saves the form without saving the pre-defined text and for required we can’t submit without doing manual changes to the text area.

Here's how I add the text:

if (location.pathname == "/SC/ServiceCatalog/RequestOffering/4dea0ebf-e13c-b64a-6ea3-90a6fa94b004,87f7b7c5-7799-51ee-c8eb-91a08ec392a8")
{
    (document.getElementById("textArea8d7e3e96-5ca5-46f1-8096-b5903a2e3e2e")).value = 'This is pre-defined text';
};

It seems to be because of the way the save button get the values but any method I'm using gets the same result.

Did anyone managed to achieves something similar or know how I could get the Request Offering form to save my pre-defined text?

Thanks!

Ahh, a required field. We'll have to cheat for these types of fields, and make it think that we actually edited the field as a human, instead of programmatically. This allows us to trigger the required verification. 

<br><div>$("#textArea7027fd5b-13c3-486a-b8e1-a2bbc58f2289").val("This is pre-defined text!");
$("#textArea7027fd5b-13c3-486a-b8e1-a2bbc58f2289").keyup()
</div>

This works for me using v5.0.6 of the Portal.

This should work if you change your code to something like: 

$("#textArea7027fd5b-13c3-486a-b8e1-a2bbc58f2289").val("This is pre-defined text!");

It actually does the same result:

Were you able to submit successfully using this? It doesn't work for me on 5.5
