JQuery in AA fails to update text field

I've been utilizing the following code in the onBeforeUserProfileEditDisplay function in an AA without any issues. However, recently, I've noticed that the text field (cb_branches_no) no longer updates the count.

Is there any recent modification that might have caused this issue?

Nothing has changed recently in regards to loading JavaScript, jQuery, etc..

I however cannot help you debug custom coding, sorry. You'll need to open your browsers developer tools (usually just press F12) and review the Console tab and see if there are any errors. You might want to also check that your jQuery selectors are correct.

I understand.
The reason I am asking is because I have 4 different AA with the almost the same code (only field names are different) that count the records in the field groups and all of them used to work fine until recently.
I haven't changed them at all and suddenly I realize that none of them works...
Anyway, I will check again carefully.

 

Finally, the code is functioning.
What's happening is that the text file is located in the hidden tab, resulting in it not updating.
When I switched tabs, it worked properly.
The issues are as follows:

1. It could be added in a tab (not hidden) to be displayed in profile view but then it would appear in profile edit and I don't want the user to change the value of the file. If I make it read-only so the user can't change it, then it doesn't update.
2. It could be hidden from profile view/profile edit and called through a CustomHTML file in profile view, but still doesn't display since there are restrictions in the profile view.
3. As mentioned earlier, it doesn't update when it's in the hidden tab.

Do you have any suggestions on how to address this issue?

It doesn't really matter if something is hidden or not. You should be able to set its value perfectly fine from JavaScript assuming it exists on the page. I'm not quite sure why you're using a timer though as you're bound to a change event already. What is this suppose to be doing exactly and does it even need to be in JavaScript? Are you trying to store the count of a CB Field Group field?

In my case, when the text field (cb_branches_no) is located within the "hidden" tab, I can retrieve its value (if manually set) in a CustomHTML field for profile view using the following syntax -> [cb:userfield field="cb_branches_no" /].
The issue arises when the user attempts to update the FieldGroup (cb_branches) during profile editing. The AA triggers onBeforeUserProfileEditDisplay and should update the text field (cb_branches_no), but it fails to do so because the field is within the "hidden" tab.
One potential solution is to relocate the text field (cb_branches_no) to another tab, which allows for successful updates. However, this presents a new issue wherein the field becomes visible to the user during profile editing, enabling modifications we don't want.
Setting the text field (cb_branches_no) as "read only" prevents the AA from updating it.

I'm not quite sure why you're using a timer though as you're bound to a change event already.

You're right, but I want the field to be updated instantly when the user adds or removes rows in the FieldGroup (cb_branches) during profile editing.I might omit that though.

What is this suppose to be doing exactly and does it even need to be in JavaScript? Are you trying to store the count of a CB Field Group field?

More or less about what it does is explained above. Regarding JavaScript, is there another way for achieving what I need?


Thank you
