Sometimes you import some data that looks like this:
But you want table data that looks like this:
This script does that:
let settings = input.config({
title:'Table Optimizer',
description: "Converts data that's stored over many fields, into data that's stored in one field with multiple parameters in a new table",
items: [
input.config.table('sourceTable',{
label: 'Source Table',
description: 'The originating table'
}),
input.config.text('fieldsConvert',{
label: 'Fields to Convert',
description: "Type out the fields you'd like to convert separated by a comma. Example: Field 1,Field 2,Field 3. All convert fields must be of the same type."
}),
input.config.table('destinationTable',{
label: 'Destination Table',
description: 'The desitination table'
}),
input.config.field('field1',{
label: 'Data Field',
parentTable: 'destinationTable',
description: 'Field where the table data will go. Must match field type of Conver Fields',
}),
input.config.field('field2',{
label: 'Field Name Field',
parentTable: 'destinationTable',
description: 'Field where the original field names will be transposed',
}),
input.config.field('field3',{
label: 'Linked Record Field',
parentTable: 'destinationTable',
description: 'Linked record which will link back to the desination table',
}),
]
});
let sourceTable = settings.sourceTable
let fields = settings.fieldsConvert.split(',')
let destinationTable = settings.destinationTable
let fieldNameField = settings.field2.name
let dataField = settings.field1.name
let linkedField = settings.field3.name
let query = await sourceTable.selectRecordsAsync({fields: fields})
let records = query.records
let arr = []
for (let field of fields){
if( sourceTable.getField(field).type != settings.field1.type){
output.markdown('## 🚫 Error: Please change your Data Field-Type to match your Convert Field Types')
return
} else{
