Thanks Katya! That worked. I'm still missing something though. I still don't see the updated value in the Game Date label when I navigate back to the Game Notes page. Is this because I need to 1st execute a Curl command, in my Javascript, to Update the respective field in my database? (being that the Game Date label is linked to the Game Date field in my database - and that will be loaded when the page is loaded).

Hi Steven,

When you return to another page using Back button or such a mechanism then only Page Show event is triggered. You should call your service on this event.

Hello! Sorry for delay. I'll update.

You can't put curl command in JS. codecurl -X PUT \ .........../code is a standard record to show what data and where you need to send. In your case (when you're going to update DB) you should call service and transmit data codeserviceName.execute({"data": {"param1": "param1value", "param2": "param2Value"}});/code

I really hate to appear so ignorant on this, but I am confused. If I create an Update Service with no mapped parameters how will the database know what fields to update? How do I fill in the parameters of the service in order to make the code sample you supplied work?

You can pass all parameters in object "data" which you transmit in service call as shown here codeserviceName.execute({"data": {"param1": "param1value", "param2": "param2Value"}});/code
where param1, param2 - request parameters (you can add as many parameters as you need - all fields you're going to update, DB id, session token).

I have implemented your code snippet and my javascript seems to be failing on service execution. Can you take a look and see if there is anything that jumps out at you. I have shared the project with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a. In particular it is when the 'ok' button is pressed on the "editDateandNotes" popup.

Hello! Are there any errors in console when you click 'ok'?

Yes. When it attempts to call the service the following error message appears:

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'execute' startScreen.js:996
$.die.live.click startScreen.js:996
jQuery.event.dispatch jquery-1.8.2.js:3063
elemData.handle.eventHandle

Does this mean I can't call the REST service using the '.execute' method?

You have to use not service name, but datasource name in code.
