Using LiveCycle How can I create and populate a new row in a table with values from other fields with a button press?

Question

Here is my current code, so far the button will create a new row in the table and it will reset the fields (AdditionalComments, CellLocation, and FailureSelection, which are all text fields), but it will not allow me to populate the original FailureRow or the new instance of FailureRow that is created:

field name="AddFailureButton" w="31.114mm" h="6mm">

        event name="event__click" activity="click"
           script contentType="application/x-javascript"
           xfa.host.messageBox("Failure Recorded, Please Continue Filling Out the Form Until All Failures Have Been Recorded.  Then Please Save and Submit the form.", "Continue/Save/Submit", 3);
           this.resolveNode('failuretable.Table1._FailureRow').addInstance(1);
           if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
           xfa.form.recalculate(1);
}

//****need to set values of current FailureRow to be equal to CellLocation, FailureSelection, and AdditionalComments, THEN clear the values as written below*****

           xfa.host.resetData("form1.page1.AdditionalComments");
           xfa.host.resetData("form1.page1.CellLocation");
           xfa.host.resetData("form1.page1.FailureSelection");
</script>

Answer 1

Try the following code:

var newRow = this.resolveNode('failuretable.Table1._FailureRow').addInstance(1);
newRow.CELL_NAME.rawValue = form1.page1.AdditionalComments.rawValue;
newRow.CELL_NAME.rawValue = form1.page1.CellLocation.rawValue;
newRow.CELL_NAME.rawValue = form1.page1.FailureSelection.rawValue;

Remember to replace CELL_NAME with a proper name.

btw. When you are referencing object in the script you can just use it's SOM expression failuretable.Table1._FailureRow instead of this.resolveNode('failuretable.Table1._FailureRow') .
