Example

The accumulated years of experience in each organization is extracted from the employee work experience table, and subsequently, the total years of experience field in the parent form is updated.

let tableJSON = await worktableInstance.toJSON();
let totalYOE = 0;
tableJSON.forEach(data => totalYOE += data[“table_field2”])

let parentForm = await kf.context.getParent();
parentForm.update({"totalYOE":  totalYOE});
