Using filename as description in receipt hub

[u4h37u]

Hello,

I’m looking for a way to automatically populate the description field using the receipt filename when creating a purchase from the receipt hub:

Is there a way this can be done using a custom script for example?

Regards,

Richard

Hi Richard,

This should do the trick:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.page-receipts-detail #txtdescription').val($('#txtReceiptDesc').val());
});

Just add this to your custom scripts in Account Settings >> Design customisation >> Advanced CSS & HTML Customisation.

This will also pull in the file extension (.pdf in your example), but hopefully that’ll help speed up your entry!

And if you want to strip off the .pdf you could do something like this (not tested):

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.page-receipts-detail #txtdescription').val(
      $('#txtReceiptDesc').val().replace(/\.[a-z]{1,4}$/, '')
    );
});

This code will strip off any trailing dot-plus-up-to-4-letters extension from the file name.
