Getting field value before update record

[christ2000]

Hello, i am using the following code to try to get both values, first the old field value and the same new field value before update my dropdown field:

// Assume this is your initial capture, perhaps on page load or some initialization
var currentVisibleText2014 = $("#x_Providersh2014 option:selected").text();

// Event handler for when the dropdown changes, for example, on change event
$("#x_Providersh2014").on("change", function () {
  // Update the variable when the dropdown changes
  currentVisibleText2014 = $(this).find(":selected").text();
  console.log("Updated Visible Text 2014:", currentVisibleText2014);
});

my problem is i don't get the new value input on the dropdown field(before save the record), just the old one, can some one check this?

thanks

Why don't you use Row_Updating server event by optimizing the $rsold and $rsnew objects?

If the field is a lookup field, you may see Retrieving selections.
