Requirements:

I am building a Custom Mass Transfer Records functionality where Based on Object Name and Owner, I want to display List of Sobject Records owned by user. Once List is displayed, I want to assign all selected records to New Owner.

I have created generic object Transfer_SObject_Record__c where I have added 2 fields Type(Picklist) contains Sobject name that I want to define and Owner(Lookup:user) fields. based on these 2 field's value I want to display SObject records with Name field and Owner as a column in the List.

Problem is I am not able to pass lightning-input-field value of both fields to my controller class method.

Error Message that I see on Screen : objType & owner is undefined

Can someone please suggest how to pass lightning-input-field values as a parameter to controller class method?

Below is the code that I have written:

transferRecords.html

Use event.detail.value to get the value updated value inside the change handler.

handlePickChange(event) {
    this.objType = event.detail.value;
    console.log('objType:' + this.objType);
}

Also,

handleChange(event) {
    this.owner = event.detail.value[0];
    console.log('owner:' + this.owner);
}

You need to use this to refer to the member attributes or reactive properties of Lwc.

Like this.objType and this.owner.

refreshObjList({
        objType: this.objType,
        owner: this.owner
    })
    .then(result => {
        this.sObjects = result;
    })
    .catch(error => {
        this.error = error;
    });

Also, if you are passing these attributes as parameters to the wired method, then use '$objType' or '$owner'.


I think there is another problem in your code, it seems like you are just reporting the validity of the input components but actually not checking if the values are valid or not.

  • Values are valid as in Picklist I have defined Object API name and Lookup field is related to user. I tried to pass objType: this.objType, owner: this.owner but it is showing blank in Controller debug logs

  • Are you getting those values in console.log inside change handler? Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 16:53
  • Yes in console log this.objType and this.owner is showing as undefined

  • I have updated the answer please check. you need to use event.detail.value instead of event.target.value. Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 17:00
  • it is still throwing the error objType and owner is undefined when i select the value from UI
