Substring method not working with API data
$("#billing_myfield16").val([data.dossiernummer]);
Via an API i auto fill the field with the ID #billing_myfield16. This code works perfectly fine so dont worry about that. The problem is, I just want the first 3 characters of whatever is stored in [data.dossiernummer]. The following code did not work for me.
$("#billing_myfield16").val([data.dossiernummer].substring(0,4) );
It didnt work.

What is[data.dossiernummer]supposed to be? It looks like an array to me, which does not have a substring method... Maybedata.dossiernummeris the string you are looking for?

"It didnt work" is a virtually meaningless problem statement. What did it do? What errors were thrown in console? That error should be big clue

Can we see the value of data.dossiernummer? Also, try to code in English, even though you're Dutch ;)

"".substring(0,3)? The second argument is the index of the first character to exclude from the returned substring :)

So I made a mistake in my attempt.
Instead of $("#billing_myfield16").val([data.dossiernummer].substring(0,4) );
I should have done
$("#billing_myfield16").val([data.dossiernummer.substring(0,3)]);
Which makes sense, seeing data.dossiernummer contains the string i'm trying to substract.

This would return the first 4 characters. Also, you don't need the square brackets when setting the value.
