Hello Team

Based on the below link

https://www.projectinsight.net/api/project-insight-report-forms-with-javascript-advanced-tutorial

I have created the same scenario for a task report.

Whenever I now go an create another New task report the customized JavaScript shows up on the new reports as well. Since this was only to be customized for a specific report is there a way that this JavaScript can be set by ID so that it should not fire on any other takes reports?

Thanks
Mario

  Hey Mario,

  I think the easiest way to do what you want would be to Save the Report and then interrogate the Saved Report Title using jQuery....

  1. Save your report with a Title:

  2. When you build your calculated column, just put an "if()" block around it that looks for a string of your Saved Report name:

  

  To look for your Saved Report name, there are probably a few hundred ways to do that, depending how you're using JavaScript. Here are some off top-of-head:

  Regular JavaScript:

  • str.indexOf()
  • str.search()

  jQuery:

  • :contains()
  • .has()

  Happy coding!

  Thanks Kevin

  Yeah i was thinking on those lines of either using the title or the report id. the only downsize to this one would be that in case i have other tasks reports where i have customization's to be done would mean that the coding will get a bit longer and difficult to read through.

  Thanks for your help.

  Certainly keying on title or ID will only give you the one-off. You'd have to grab some value that was shared by all these reports...a category, type, etc. Happy coding!
