E10: Product Configurator - Setting input values on Field Valida

Thanks Jose. I had read the tech guide but for some I interpreted it to mean that On Field Changed was server side.
It was the part about “…while it is in focus and saved during an actual configuration session.”. The word “saved” sounded like a database save, which I assumed would be server side.

I will test further.

Not sure about configurator per-say but standard behavior is is as follows]

Validating occurs when you (exit/leave) a field ,whether its changed or not
OnFieldChanged occurs when the field changes

Both of these are client side calls, though the execution may require the server to give you some data.

Hello,

My understanding is that an inputs “On Field Validating” action is fired when the field changes and is run on the client side and the “On Field Changed” action is fired when the field changes and is run on the server side.

My hope was that I could change the value of another input then the user selects a value from a combo box and have this run on the client side so that it can happen faster than waiting for the server to process the request.

When I tried this, I got an error that said I cannot update an input value on Field Validating and must happen on Field Changed.
This is kind of a bummer but I just want to make sure I understand correctly.

So I went to the Tech Guide and this is what it says about both of those events. Looks like both are client side, one happens after the field changes and one during.

• On Field Changed - This action triggers when you change the value of the specified control on an input
page while it is in focus and saved during an actual configuration session. Compared to the On Field Validation
action, which is triggered when you change the value of the specified control on the page while the page is
in focus, prior to saving the value, the change already happened. The On Field Changed action does not
trigger any other actions unless specifically defined as an action.
• On Field Validating - This action triggers when you change the value of the specified control on an input
page while the page is in focus, prior to saving the value during an actual configuration session. Compared
to the On Field Changed action, you can still prevent the change. The field validation action does not trigger
any other actions unless specifically defined as an action
