Alert not firing on onChange client script

[sigmachiuta]

i have a onChange catalog client script that DOES change the field values so it is running but it doesn't throw the alert.

if(newValue == 'No'){
       alert(getMessage('test'));
       g_form.setValue('foo' , 'No')
       g_form.setValue('bar' , 'No')
       }

--or

if(newValue == 'No'){
       alert('test');
       g_form.setValue('foo' , 'No')
       g_form.setValue('bar' , 'No')
       }

Hi , check the data type of the field. If it's a choice list check the value for the choice . Hopefully that should be the issue

ok alert sill not firing but it IS setting the fields to null and No

variable onChange: foo

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

    //if foo is no set bar to No and hide foo

      if(newValue == 'No'){

      alert(getMessage('this is my alert'));

      g_form.setValue('bar' , 'No')

      g_form.setValue('foo' , '') //set field to null UI script hides foo when bar is No

      }

  }

Just remove that foo line and try. You are still changing the foo value from No to ''

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

    //if foo is no set bar to No and hide foo

      if(newValue == 'No'){

      alert(getMessage('this is my alert'));

      g_form.setValue('bar' , 'No')

      }

  }

Are either of the setValues changing the value of the variable that has the onChange script?

[sigmachiuta]

yes, thats the weird part its is setting the values.   I actually accidentally had the below (was changing it over from a field msg to an alert and was going too fast ) and it popped up u_field in the alert but got in an endless loop

alert('u_field','test','info');
