Fetch the entire address text on a custom field

Fetch the entire address text on a custom field

This article will help you to add a custom field for fetching full addresses on any DocType, using a 3-step approach.

Step 1. Cosmetic customizations on the required DocType

Initially, we need to incorporate two additional fields on the DocType to retrieve addresses:

a) Introduce a field of type ‘Link’ that references our Address master.

b) Add a field of type ‘Read Only’ to exhibit the complete address.

Remember to take note of the variable names assigned to the new fields you create, as this information will be necessary later in the process.

For information on creating custom fields on a DocType you can refer to the following link – Custom Fields

Once this step is done you should have two new fields on the selected DocType.

 

Step 2. Adding a Client Script for fetching the full address from our Address master

Search for ‘Client Script’ using the search bar and proceed to create a new Client Script. Then, select the required DocType for which the address needs to be fetched.

For your specific use case, make the following changes:

a) Substitute ‘DocType Name’ with the actual name of the DocType where the address needs to be fetched, such as Sales Invoice, Purchase Order, etc.

b) Replace ‘address_link_field’ with the variable name of the custom link field created in Step 1.

c) Replace ‘full_address_field’ with the variable name of the custom read-only field created in Step 1.

After making these adjustments, your Client Script will be ready.

 

Step 3. Save, enable and test the Client Script

After adjusting the Client Script according to your specific requirements, save it and activate it by selecting the ‘Enabled’ checkbox.

Proceed to the relevant DocType and refresh the page to ensure the changes are implemented.

Now, when an address is chosen in our custom link field, the complete address will be retrieved and displayed in our custom read-only field.
