@SetDocField

Given the unique ID of a document, sets the value of a specific field on that document. The document must reside in the current database.

Syntax

@SetDocField( documentUNID ; fieldName ; newValue )

Parameters

documentUNID

Text. The unique ID of a document. @DocumentUniqueID specifies the unique ID of the current document. To specify the unique ID of the parent document, use $Ref as the first parameter. $Ref is a special field on a response document that contains the unique ID of the parent document.

fieldName

Text. The name of a field on the document, enclosed in quotation marks. If you store the field name in a variable, omit the quotation marks here.

newValue

Text, number, time-date, time-date range, or list thereof. The value you want to give to the field.

Usage

This function does not work in column or selection formulas. @SetDocField is particularly useful in field, button, and agent formulas.

Note Starting with Release 6, you can use @SetDocField to set the value of a field in the current document, not just in other documents in the same database.
