    allFields: [Field<any, any>]

    All [[Field]] Objects regardless of if they contain a formula id.

    fields: { [key: string]: Field<any, any> }

    All [[Field]] Objects that contain a formula id.

    Methods

    • An object of alternate ids for this object, with values as [[AltId]]

      Returns { [name: string]: AltId<FormEntry> }

      // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
      const warningMessage = baseObject.altIdsObject().FID.value().includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';

    • An object of alternate ids for this object, with values as strings

      Returns { [name: string]: string }

      // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
      const warningMessage = baseObject.altIds().FID.includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';

    • An array of alternate ids for this object.

      Returns EList<FormEntry>

      // you've marked certain forms with the FID of deprecated and want to filter for those
      const warningMessage = baseObject.altIds().FID.includes('deprecated') && 'Please use a different form';

    • Same as calling optAncestor(var).orElse(null)

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • classType: string | number

      Returns B

    • Get a single bluestep.js [[MergeReport]] which has its primary form as the current form, applies to this record, and has the custom lookup property specified by the name and value parameters given. If the name begins with an under-bar, indicating that the property may not be unique, then the first merge report found will be returned. If there was a problem then results will be null and message will contain the problem.

      Parameters

      • search: string
      • value: string

      Returns { message: string; results: MergeReport<any> }


      const mergeReport = curEntry.applicableBsJsMergeReportResults('_pageId', 'testMergeReport').results;

    • Get a single [[MergeReport]] which has its primary form as the current form, applies to this record, and has the custom lookup property specified by the name and value parameters given. If the name begins with an under-bar, indicating that the property may not be unique, then the first fixed report found will be returned. If there was a problem then results will be null and message will contain the problem.

      Parameters

      • search: string
      • value: string

      Returns { message: string; results: MergeReport<any> }


      const fixedReport = curEntry.ap OplicableFixedReportResults('_pageId', 'testFixedReport').results;

    • Get a single RelateScript [[MergeReport]] which has its primary form as the current form, applies to this record, and has the custom lookup property specified by the name and value parameters given. If the name begins with an under-bar, indicating that the property may not be unique, then the first merge report found will be returned. If there was a problem then results will be null and message will contain the problem.

      Parameters

      • search: string
      • value: string

      Returns { message: string; results: MergeReport<any> }


      const mergeReport = curEntry.applicableMergeReportResults('_pageId', 'testMergeReport').results;

    • If this object is a Collection it returns it as an array. The majority of objects in the system are Collections. For most objects, this is the same as calling [[children]].

      Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

      const ids = obj.asArray().map(ob => ob);

    • Get the children of the object. This retrieval goes one level deep.

      Parameters

      • OptionalclassType: string | number

      Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

      const childrenNames = obj.children().map(child => child.displayName());

    • Creates a copy of the current [[FormEntryScript]] that can be used. This can only be used on Multi-Entry forms.

      Returns FormEntry


      const copiedFormEntry = curEntry.copyEntry();

    • A String field containing the URL to create a new entry of this form within the User Profile/My Account area. The URL contained by this field only works correctly when clicked by the user who's record the current entry belongs to. Other users will receive an error when attempting to go to the URL.

      Returns string

    • A String field containing the URL to create a new entry of this form. This value will be null for single-entry forms. This value is always a relative URL meaning it does not contain the protocol prefix or domain name such as http://xyzzy.bluestep.net.

      Returns string

    • The "created at" timestamp of this object.

      Returns Instant

      const createdAt = `<div class="created-at">${baseObject.created()}</div>`;

    • The creator of this object.

      Returns User

      alert(`Guess who created this. It was ${baseObject.creator().fullName()}. They are to blame.`);

    • The deleted children of this object. Only looks one level deep. E.g. a form's deleted children could include fields and form entries. A folder's deleted children could include folders, forms, and formulas, but not any of those forms' entries.

      Returns EList<BaseObject<any>>

      const deleted = baseObject.deletedChildren();

    • Returns a delete URL for this object, else a blank string. Following the URL will delete the object, so proceed with caution.

      Returns string

      const deleteBtn = `<button data-href="${baseObject.deleteUrl()}">Go to ${baseObject.displayName()}</button>;

    • The default display name of this object. For the most part, this is the same as calling toString(), which is the same as inserting the object into a string.

      Returns string

      The following assumes you have already aggregated a selection of baseObjects into an array

      const displayNames = [];
      for (const o of baseObjects) displayNames.push(o.displayName());
      const namesList = `<ul><li>${displayNames.join('</li><li>')}</li></ul>`;

    • Sets the Display Name.

      Parameters

      • name: string

      Returns void

    • Returns an edit URL for this object, else a blank string.
