Form Change Handler

The change handler is triggered for an update made in any form field containing the boolean trigger_on_change as true. The change handler can be used to either add or remove fields in the form depending on the input made for a certain field. 

A list of attributes is passed when a function is triggered. They are listed in the table below

Form Modification Object Syntax

{
  "type": "form_modification",
  "action": [
       $action_object
  ]
}

Action Object Syntax

{
  "type": "remove | clear | update | add_before | add_after | enable | disable",
  "name" : reference_label_name
  "input" : $input_element	//applicable for add-before, add-after, update
}

Sample command code for the type remove|clear|update|add_before|add_after|enable|disable

inputs = list();
inputs.add({"type":"select","trigger_on_change":true,"name":"field","label":"Modifications","hint":"Pick a option","placeholder":"","mandatory":true,"options":{{"label":"Remove","value":"remove"},{"label":"Clear","value":"clear"},{"label":"Update","value":"update"},{"label":"Add Before","value":"add_before"},{"label":"Add After","value":"add_after"},{"label":"Enable","value":"enable"},{"label":"Disable","value":"disable"},{"label":"Update with Disabled","value":"updatewithdisabled"}},"value":"enable"});
inputs.add({"type":"select","name":"action","label":"Enable/Disable","hint":"Pick a action","placeholder":"","options":{{"label":"Enable","value":"enable"},{"label":"Disable","value":"disable"}},"value":"enable"});
response = {"text":"Hey"};
return {"type":"form","title":"Platform Demo","name":"ID","version":1,"actions":{"submit":{"type":"invoke.function","name":"form"}},"inputs":inputs};

Example: Get tasks assigned to a user in Zoho Projects

Let's consider a slash command /tasks that can pull up the list of assigned tasks to a user.

1. Once a user executes the command, a form is displayed where they can select the project, task assignee and task status.
2. code class="language-json">The task assignee form field is dependent on the project form field and will display the users who are a part of the chosen project. 
3. Once you choose these options, you will get the list of tasks assigned to the user and with the selected status.

/tasks command execution handler code

response = Map();
portal = zoho.projects.getPortals("[ENTER YOUR CONNECTION NAME]");
//info portal;
portalID = portal.get("portals").toMap().get("id");
allProjects = zoho.projects.getProjectDetails("[PORTAL ID]","active","[ENTER YOUR CONNECTION NAME]");
info allProjects;
projectlist = List();
for each  project in allProjects
{
	projectName = project.get("name");
	id = project.get("id");
	project = {"label":projectName,"value":id};
	projectlist.add(project);
}
inputs = List();
inputs.add({"type":"select","name":"project","label":"Project Name","hint":"Choose a project","placeholder":"Pick a project","mandatory":true,"value":"projects","options":projectlist,"trigger_on_change":true});
return {"type":"form","title":"Get tasks","hint":"Get the list of tasks assigned to a user in a project!","name":"tasks","version":1,"button_label":"Get Tasks","action":{"type":"invoke.function","name":"projecttasks"},"inputs":inputs};
