Load value to editor form field using custom button, depedent other field value

dd2137

I need help creating a button in the editor form that will load a default value into the Y field based on the X field.

I have a php script that will return the correct load.key.php value

                formButtons: [
                    {
                        text: 'Load default key',
                        className: 'btn btn-primary btn-md',
                        action: function () {
                            $ .ajax ({
                            type: 'POST',
                            data: 'values% 5Bmeters.model% 5D = 32',
                            url: 'php / load-key.php',
                            });
                        },
                     },

Pressing the button starts the script, but I have a problem with loading the result into the field in the editor and loading the parameter into the php script, in this case "32"
I also do not know what should be returned json, currently it looks like this:

[{"meters.encryption_key": "00000000000000000000000000000000"}]

the field where I want to load the value is meters.encryption_key
the field from which I want to get the ID for the query is meters.model

Thanks in advance for your help, I just got started with javascript

I also do not know what should be returned json, currently it looks like this:

It can be whatever you want - it is your Ajax call and you'll need to process it . I'd suggest probably just an object with the value you want to set. You'll need to add a success callback function that will take the value from the JSON and put it into the Editor form - probably using field().val().

the field from which I want to get the ID for the query is meters.model

editor.field('meters.model').val();

the field where I want to load the value is meters.encryption_key

editor.field('meters.encryption_key').val(json.val);

Thanks for quick reply!

                    { 
                        text: 'Load default key', 
                        className: 'btn btn-primary btn-md',  
                        action: function() {
                            var model = editor.field('meters.model').val();
                            $.ajax({
                            dataType: "json",
                            type: 'POST',
                            data: 'values%5Bmeters.model%5D='+model,
                            url: 'php/load-key.php',
                            success : function (data) {
                                editor.field('meters.encryption_key').val(data.val);
                            }
                            });
                        },
                     },

already correctly loads the model into the query, but I'm having still trouble loading the value into the field

The answer in the browser looks ok

[{"key":"00000000000000000000000000000000"}]

data.val isn't correct for that JSON return. You have it in an array and the property is key, so use:

data[0].key
