Hi everyone!
I'm having a bit of trouble getting this useryesno function to do exactly what I want. Basically, I want it to pull what was previously entered in a multi-line edit field, prompt the user to insert it or not, and if yes insert the previous string into the multi-line edit field along with whatever is currently entered in the document variable.
I've managed to pull up the useryesno window with the previous obs displayed correctly, but once I click "yes" I can't get it to output to the edit field.
Here's the code for my function:
{
fn PHPI_view_insert_prior1()
{
IF (obsprev("PROG1ADDINFO")) == "" then userok("No prior progress note found.")
elselocal a = DOCUMENT.PROGRESS_1
local b = obsprev("PROG1ADDINFO")IF (b) == "" then userok("No prior progress note found.")
else
IF (size(str(a) + HRET + str(b))) >1999 then
return userok("The prior progress note is too large and cannot be added to this field.")
else
IF useryesno("Prior progress note:\r\n\r\n" + str(b) + "\r\n\r\nClick 'Yes' to add to today's progress note; otherwise click 'No'.") == "Yes" then
a = str(a) + HRET + str(b)
else
a = aendif
endif
endif
endif
}
}
One thing I noticed when doing a MEL trace was that the function was returning "" for my A variable even when I had text entered into the edit field. I tried setting the local a to str(DOCUMENT.PROGRESS_1) but it didn't fix the issue. This is what I have in my MEL trace:

Any ideas where I'm going wrong with this?

I don't see the function returning anything.
You either want to add
document.progress_1 = a
to the end of your function or
return a
and have a button call this function with the value returning into document.progress_1
This should fix it, unless I am missing something.

Whoops! Of course it was something this easy. I guess I missed the forest for the trees trying to get all my endifs in line or something. Thank you!
