Field not being updated after calculation and setFieldConten

In form pages, to set a form field value you should be using:

rbf_setFieldValue. Next, on submitting form, the field value will be persisted against the relevant record.

rbf_setFieldContent is meant to be used in Record view pages for setting contents of derieved fields like Template & Formula.

Hi Mohammed - thanks for your help

Apologies I am a busiines not technical user so syntax is difficult for me.

What is the exact syntax for SetFieldValue and how does it differ setfieldcontent.

Thanks

Code below....

<script>

  function calc_interest()

{

   var m = rbf_getFloat(rbf_getFieldValue("advanced_amount"));

   var r = rbf_getFloat(rbf_getFieldValue("monthly_rate_"));

   var t = rbf_getFloat(rbf_getFieldValue("term"));

   var total_charge_for_credit = (t/12)*m*r/100;

   var total_amount_repayable = total_charge_for_credit+m;

   var monthly_repayment = total_amount_repayable/t;

   var PerCost = total_amount_repayable/m;

     rbf_setFieldContent("total_charge_for_credit",

   rbf_formatCurrency(total_charge_for_credit, "£"));

   rbf_setFieldContent("total_amount_repayable",

   rbf_formatCurrency(total_amount_repayable, "£"));

   rbf_setFieldContent("monthly_repayment",

   rbf_formatCurrency(monthly_repayment, "£"));

   rbf_setFieldContent("PerCost",

   rbf_formatCurrency(PerCost, "£"));

   }

 </script>

To set a form field value on client-side:

rbf_setFieldValue("total_charge_for_credit", total_charge_for_credit);

On submitting form i.e. field value will be  updated in database.

In comparison rbs_setFieldContent should be used for setting html for a field. Say that you have a 'rating' field of type integer with values ranging from 1 - 5. In application page, you want to render this field as 'Star-shaped' icons depicting rating i.e. 4 icons for a rating 4. In such a scenario, you should leverage rbf_setFieldContent to render the appropriate HTML. This is mostly applicable for view pages (i.e. Record Details) and not form pages (i.e. New/Edit record).
