Hi Jeremy,

how about using it like
<field><display description="${groovy: return(estimatedSetupMillis/60000);}"/></field>
or something similar.

Thanks for the response.  When I change from actions to row-actions I get
nothing.  Not even the "1" when entering a new routing.  Am I missing
something?  And yes, I realize this will not update to the database.  I plan
to intercept UpdateRoutingTask and convert the data back to milliseconds
before updating.

You will need a row action for that. Keep in mind if you change the field's
value on the fly like that and the user clicks Save, the wrong value will
get saved.

I would like to be able to take data to be displayed in a forms text field
and manipulate it before it is displayed.  How can I do this?  See below
for relevant example code.  Here I want to display estimatedSetupMillis as
minutes instead of milliseconds.

file: RoutingTaskForms.xml
<form name="EditRoutingTask" target="UpdateRoutingTask"
extends="EditRoutingTask"

extends-resource="component://manufacturing/widget/manufacturing/RoutingTaskForms.xml">
        <actions>
            <set field="estimatedSetupMillis" value="${groovy:
return(estimatedSetupMillis/60000);}"/>
        </actions>

This doesn't do anything.  If I change the actions section to below, I get
a
"1" when creating a new task, but when editing a task I still just get the
milliseconds.  Obviously when in edit mode it just replaces
estimatedSetupMillis with whatever is in the database.  I also have a
feeling that estimatedSetupMillis may not be defined yet in the actions
section.  How can I make it so I can modify the data before it gets
displayed?

        <actions>
            <set field="estimatedSetupMillis" value="1"/>
        </actions>

Jeremy Olmstead
