Examples

Ready-to-use snippets for the Formula Columns plugin.

These examples are complete snippets you can paste into the Formula Columns option of a column (see Formula Columns for how to configure one). Each page explains the use case, the snippet, and what to watch out for.

• Set the object UUID on first save — generate and assign the object's _uuid when the object is created.

• Combine fields into one value — build a single display value from several text fields.

• Calculate a value from other fields — compute a number (e.g. a total) from other columns.

• Read a value from a linked object — copy a field from a linked object using apiSearchBySIDs.

Remember: the snippet is the body of async function (objNew, objCurr, dataPath, dataPathCurr), its return value becomes the column value, your own fields are on objNew, and the system fields (_uuid, …) are on the envelope dataPath[0].
