Hi Sebastian

You can use JS String.prototype.substring() to extract a substring from a hash variable or a Java beanshell.

Hi Andrew,

                 I'd just tried and I'm mising something in the writing. The next Hash Variable #form.0101_Solicitud.SubRubro# gives as result one string. How must I write the sentence in the hidden Field so as to get the first 3 chars from this string?

Thanks in advance.

Sebastian.

Hi Sebastian Alonsoabout

Kindly download and import this sample app into your Joget Workflow, will work in both community and enterprise version 5+.

The app has a form with example JS to substring the '#currentUser.username#' and '#date.EEEE, d MMMM yyyy' into 2 text field element. Works the same concept for form hash variable. Will also work on hidden fields too.

The JS/Jquery code in the form sits in the CustomHTML field element, as follows:

<script>
$(document).ready( function(){
 var uName = '#currentUser.username#';
 var subUname = uName.substring(2, 5);
 $('#subUsername').val(subUname);

var uDate = '#date.EEEE, d MMMM yyyy#';
 var subUdate = uDate.substring(16, 20);
 $('#subDate').val(subUdate);
});
</script>

You can also use substring hash in beanshell using the Java syntax.
