How to set values to Clipboard property from javascript
I am trying to set values to Clipboard property from javascript with this code.
*********
<script>pega.api.ui.actions.setValue("MapTo.ID", 'test', false);</script>
*********
Taken From JavaScript API-->SetValue
this code is not working as expected. Please suggest me whether it has any error or we have any alternate way to achieve this requirement

Hi, let me share my observation below.
To use the "SetValue" API for a property, make sure the control associated with the Property is available in DOM.
For my scenario, I have to update ContactName property in pyWorkPage which is referred to in text control.
pega.api.ui.actions.setValue("pyWorkPage.ContactName", "test", false);
Complete Code in the HTML Section:
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
<script>
function myFunction(){
console.log("Click event on Custom Button");
pega.api.ui.actions.setValue("pyWorkPage.ContactName", "test", false);
}
</script>
The above code worked for me in my scenario. To update property which is not available in the screen, I will suggest you use runDatatransform JS API and set necessary values from that calling Datatransform.
Let me know if you have any more queries.
Good Luck!

Hi Duraisankar,
Thanks for your immediate reply.
<html>
<body>
<%
ClipboardPage Page=tools.createPage("TGB-FW-SmartyStreet-Data-Address","MapTo");
%>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
<script>
function myFunction(){
var test = "pega";
console.log("Click event on Custom Button");
alert(test);
pega.api.ui.actions.setValue("MapTo.ID", test, false);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is my whole code used in my custom control. Page has been created using JSP and while clicking the button log is generated and alert message also displayed.
Javascript variable not updated into (MapTo.ID)page while using setValue API
Also tried with runDataTransform API

Is MapTo.ID configured to any control visible in the section where this control is referred?
Alternatively, You can create a data transform in required class and declare MapTo page in pages & classes tab. Try below code in control.
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
<script>
function myFunction(){
var test = "pega";
console.log("Click event on Custom Button");
alert(test);
var options = {
name: "dataTransformName",
event: event
};
pega.api.ui.actions.runDataTransform(options);
}
</script>
Good Luck!
