Can we make work notes filed mandatory when updating Time Worked field

[abusaleh_quader]

Hi 

I want to make Work Notes field mandatory if there any changes in Time worked field. I have tried this onchange client script but it is not working. Here I made field name as Time Worked.

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

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

      return;

   }

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   g_form.setMandatory('work_notes', true);

}

You must evaluate the time worked field- ie add another line that checks if its changed from default value/blank/ 00:00:00/ . Then if it is not the default value then you require the work notes. - You are watching for a change and you got the end, but the middle part is evaluating the value .

Hi @abusaleh_quader,

The 'time_worked' field on task and all of its child table is type "Timer".  Your client script works on a string field, but not 'time_worked' on any task record due to it being type "Timer". You will need another means to achieve your goal.  Maybe a business rule that runs and displays an Error and aborts the transaction if that value changes and 'work_notes' is empty.

Thanks we have created a business rule and client script. It's working.
