Hello, I’m experiencing issues with CMS databases and Velo code programming. The value from the left input field is being captured, but it isn’t writing to the database. In the first part of the video, I input a value on the left, which is supposed to be transferred to the right field. It does so…

Hi again, And thanks to you too for creating the screen recordings and uploading it to YouTube describing the issue. I don’t know why your posts got flagged though, since the Wix Forum itself does not allow sharing videos files. Coming back to the issue - [image] Loki2k3: When using onInput, …

Everything’s perfect, just add $w('#input2').focus(); after $w('#input2').value = input1Value; [image] Unable to Retrieve Input Value Ask the community No actually its not a dynamic page issue, it is apparently a bug with all input fields. So unless the user takes thei…

Thank you for your response, Pratham. I tried both variants, before and after the value was adopted. The database field remains empty. TEST 1: $w.onReady(function () { const handleInputChange = () => { const input1Value = $w('#input1').value.trim(); console.log("Input1 value:",…

One more thing. When working with a form and input fields, it works without any problems. Strange… But that doesn’t help me in this case right now :frowning:

[image] Loki2k3: Only if I manually add a space or a letter again, the value is accepted. Yes, that is because you added $w('#input2').focus(); before $w('#input2').value = input1Value; and not after, like I had told you to :see_no_evil: Don’t worry I’ve included the whole code below so you …

Pratham, thank you once again for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. I’ve copied the code exactly as you provided. When using onInput, it jumps directly to the second cell even though I’m not done typing. Changing it to onChange prevents this, but then it doesn’t write anything to the dat…

Yes, I also don’t know why the posts were marked, using videos can visualize issues much better. That’s fantastic, Pratham! It works. I have also written to WIX about this. Maybe they will fix it in the future. But your code bypasses this error flawlessly, and it also means I need significantly fe…

Hi Pratham, I reported the bug to Wix. That is the answer. Can you explain to me what they mean by that? [WIX]

It’s basically telling us to do what we just did. :slightly_smiling_face: So this proves that input fields connected to a dataset cannot have their value edited by just changing the value of the input fields. But when you’re using wix-data instead of a dataset, that works absolutely well. Neverthe…

Sure, Pratham. I tested something else. If you integrate the fields into a form and then take the value using “handleInputChange” and submit the form at the end, it transfers the values to the CMS. Outside of the form, it only works using your method. Best regards, Michael
