Never retain "Position Field" values - M3

ihiggins

Hi all,

For certain M3 programs, we would like to have it that M3 never retains the "position field" values when the user returns to the program after closing it.

Has anyone come up with a solution to stop M3 remember the last position field value?

Cheers,

Hi Iain

I know its a late answer, but I just found this  forum now.

I think you should be able to pull it of by using a script, that clears the selected field after the screen has loaded.

I have made a script that should do the job for you:

Just install it in your program of choice and set the field (and delay) as an argument.

/*
** Name: H5_ClearValue
** Panel: Misc.
**
** Arguments:
** Fieldname;Delay in ms (Optional)
** Default delay is 500 ms
** Example: WWCUNO og WWCUNO;700
**
** Description:
** Clear value to field from argument with delay if necessary

class H5_ClearValue {
private controller: IInstanceController;
private log: IScriptLog;
private unsubscribeRequesting;
private unsubscribeRequested;

constructor(scriptArgs: IScriptArgs) {
this.controller = scriptArgs.controller;
this.log = scriptArgs.log;
}
/**
* Script initialization function.
*/
public static Init(args: IScriptArgs): void {
let message: string;
let delay = 500;
let fieldid: string;

const argumentString = args.args;

//Get values from Argument
let val = argumentString.split(";", 2);

//Set default delay if delay is not part of argument
fieldid = val[0];
if (val[1] != null) {
delay = Number(val[1]);
}

if (argumentString == "") {
ConfirmDialog.Show({

message: message,

});
} else {
let n: number;
n = window.setTimeout(function () {
ScriptUtil.SetFieldValue(val[0], "");
}, delay);
}

}
