I must customize button behavior more specific by javascript (js) code. Beside other coding, also standard button behavior (save, save submit, exit, etc.) should be carried out by the js code. I know js function SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(), but can't find any source about how to setup its parameter.

Just known is that SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'TODO_ButtonId') effects a save and submit.

To avoid try&error, I would appreciate your information on the possible parameters. Thanks in advance.

Hi Norbert,

In our solutions we usually build a function that will carry out all the JS Code we wish to execute during submit. 
And lastly we add the "SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit". 

Example:

Function submitRequest() {

[Insert Function1] --> Function could potentially populate data in some table.
[Insert Function2] --> Function could potentially perform some validation 

if Function2 returns error then return and show pop-up message to user 

Else

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'TODO_ButtonId');    //Approve

}

In the end we when add a "Button" on the form we add the function "submitRequest()" to be executed when button is clicked and it will carry out everything that is inside that function.

If you need to figure out which parameter to provide to "SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit" i suggest you add a standard rule and thereafter convert it to JavaScript. 

Not sure if this answers your question or whether this is best practice but this is usually how I handle it.

Thanks Amini for your reply. Unfortunately it does not meet my question exactly.

I am interested in possible values to the parameters of this function:

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'TODO_ButtonId');    //Approve

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(?,'TODO_ButtonId');    //?

as well:

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'TODO_ButtonId');    //Button behavior

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'?');    //?

Hi,

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(0,'TODO_ButtonId'); //Complete

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(2,'TODO_ButtonId'); //Approve

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(3,'TODO_ButtonId'); //Reject

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(4,'TODO_ButtonId'); //Save

SVFormDoSetActionsAndSubmit(5,'TODO_ButtonId'); //Save & Route
