Random number in hidden field

Rappi

Hello Allan,

I have a new question

I need a random number in a hidden field in editor.

What I have is this:

var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
        "ajax": "adm_artikel_processing.php",
        "table": "#pm_artikel",
        "fields": [
        
            {
                "label": "Name",
                "name": "tm_pen_artikel.Name"
            },
            {
                "label": "code",
                "name": "tm_pen_artikel.code",
                "def": function (val){
                    var min = 1111111111;
                    var max = 9999999999;
                    var zufall = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
                    return val = zufall;
                },
                "type": "hidden"
            },
            {
                "label": "Beschreibung",
                "name": "tm_pen_artikel.Beschreibung"
            },
            {
                "label": "Preis",
                "name": "tm_pen_artikel.Preis",
                attr: {
                        type: 'number',
                        lang: 'de'
                }
            }
        ],

But with this solution, the number is every time the same.
I need a new number after every new entry and after edit an entry.

How can I do this? Is this possible?

I tried your random code and it generates a different number each time i open the editor. I checked it but not hiding the field. Have you tried that to verify?

EDIT: I'll let those more familiar with Javascript comment but I don't think you want function(val) but instead want function() and change your return statement to return zufall;.

@Kevin, I agree. That function made no sense to me, but I'm no expert.

Hi Kevin,

thanks.

That's it!
