Incrementing variable value in form events

christian-rogers

I am trying to add 1 to the value of a property by using a form event. However when the event triggers, instead of returning a numeric value, it's returning a string. My event is as follows:

1.  SETVARVALUES(vUpdateCount=P(jobuf_DoneByCount))
   1. This returns the current value of the "done by count" in this example it's 3
2.  SETVARVALUES(vUpdateCount=1+V(vUpdateCount))
   1. this should add 1 to the current done by count to make it 4
3.  SETPROPVALUES(jobuf_DoneByCount=V(vUpdateCount))
   1. This should update the property to be 4

However when the event fires, instead of putting 4 into the field, it's returning a string of "1+V(vUpdateCount)". But if I out ('vUpdateCount') in single ticks, it will return " 1+'4' " instead of just 5. This works fine using the regular applicate event system form, but not on the form events.

Can you try this one below? Im directly pulling the value from a property and adding + 1 and then storing it to sum variable

you can also pull values from different sources by set values method, example below is how to pull from property and store it to variable
