Before Submit

The Before Submit event fires after the form is submitted but before any processing of the data.

This is a server-side ProcScript event.

Available Variables

All variables exposed in 1️⃣Before Process are exposed, with the addition of:

• form_action - create / update / delete

• item_id - for Edit records only - ID of the item

• form_values - Array of values submitted, eg: {title:"foo", etc}

Return

If you want the submission to fail, you need to return the error message.

Examples

Maybe you want to make sure that “email_address” has an “@” symbol in it:

if ( form_values["email_address"].indexOf("@") < 0 ) {
	return "Invalid Email Address";
}

Or maybe you want to default a value that was hidden to the user:

form_values["hidden-field"] = my_variables["previously-saved-value"];
