Can "starts with" be a condition within a Client Script?

[Edwin Fuller]

I need to write an onLoad Client script that checks if the parent field starts with a 3 letter prefix of "CUS". I have not has much success with this can someone show me how this would be written?

Thanks,

Edwin

Okay... sounds like a UI Policy to flick the visibility of the related list may do the trick... provided you can dot-walk to the parent field.

I may have a play with this to see if the parent field is accessible.

Thank you Dave, I guess I should have checked that at first. It just my mind immediately went to "oh this is a client script" lol

Thank you though I was able to access the parent field within a UI policy and hide my related list

Bwhahaha! Yeah, it's a common route.

Truth be told, pretty much everything can be achieved using client scripting... but it's not always the best approach.   I advocate trying everything else first - the falling back to client scripts if all else fails, i.e.: client scripts are the last resort, not the first choice.

(this from someone that teaches scripting courses, too!)

Good to hear you've got it sorted!
