Is it possible to update multiple fields on backend calculations in SuiteCRM 8.7

💬 General Discussion

I like the new feature of 8.7 updateValueBackend and I would like to ask is it possible to update multiple fields with one click?

In the back-end handler you have access to the entire record, so yes, you can change many things from a single handler.

But I don’t want to change the record, I want to change the value of the fields in the form on the client side. This is what updateValueBackend does, but it looks like it can only update one field.

You are right, with focus actions from a specific field, and that calculateValueBackend handler, only that field can be changed.

You can add field logic for more fields. Or you can use a record-level action.
