Hi,

I want to read the value from a field before submission and do validation. I can read it after submission but how can I read it before submission?

I wrote this PHP snippet

<code>
// Hook to update KrExists field after form entry creation
add_action('frm_after_create_entry', 'update_kr_exists_field', 10, 2);
add_action('frm_after_update_entry', 'update_kr_exists_field', 10, 2); // Function to update KrExists field based on Kreditor Nr validation
function update_kr_exists_field($entry_id, $form_id) {
// Check if the form is Test_Kreditor (form ID 8)
if ($form_id == 8) {
// Get the Kreditor Nr value from the form entry
$kreditor_nr = FrmProEntriesController::get_field_value_shortcode(array('field_id' => 72, 'entry' => $entry_id)); // Check if Kreditor Nr exists in the Google Sheet
$is_kreditor_nr_exists = check_if_kreditor_nr_exists($kreditor_nr); // Update the KrExists field value in the form entry
FrmProEntriesController::update_entry_meta($entry_id, 73, $is_kreditor_nr_exists ? 'Yes' : 'No');
}
} // Function to check if Kreditor Nr exists in the Google Sheet
function check_if_kreditor_nr_exists($kreditor_nr) {
// Implement the logic to check if Kreditor Nr exists in the Google Sheet
// You may use Google Sheets API or other methods to check the existence // For demonstration purposes, you can use a simple example
// Replace the following line with your actual validation logic
$sample_kreditor_nrs = array('123', '456', '789');
return in_array($kreditor_nr, $sample_kreditor_nrs);
}
