Job Runner

Auto Input to field

Overview

Automatically input a value into the specified field.

Usage

If you perform this Do set action and the field value changes from its original value, the record is reserved for saving. Updated records are not saved immediately but automatically after all actions in the job are finished. Use Save Modified Records to save the updated records at a different time.

You will need an API Token with edit record permission for the app of the records when autosaving. Make sure to Set Kintone API Token in another action and set the API Token for the Kintone app.

If the Set To field is a Lookup field, you will need the API Token that has view record permissions for the app referenced by Lookup (Source App). Make sure to Set Kintone API Token in another action and set the API Token for the Kintone app.

Parameters

Set Record, Field, and Value.
