Catalog client Script - Abort the submission of item

[MR1]

Hi All,

Please validate my script, I am using the catalog client script 'onSubmit' to abort the submission on the service portal. If the reference variable "Resource group" manager is empty. 

The Resource Group is a referring group table(sys_user_group)

function onSubmit() {
	//{

    var business = g_form.getReference('resource_group_to_be_updated', getValue);
//}
	alert('test1');
    function getValue(business) {
       // if(g_form.getValue('resource_group_manager') == '')
		if(business.manager.toString() == '')
        // var user = g_form.getDisplayVaue('resource_group_manager');
        alert('Order Now is disabled if the assignment group manager is empty');
		
        return false;
		}
					}

The user can submit the request. if the reference field is empty then abort the submission. 

Thanks

Hey @MR1 

Oopss! Seems I was missing one line.

function onSubmit() {

    /*** Pop this gem into your script! */
    if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid) {
        return true;
    }
    var actionName = g_form.getActionName();
    var business = g_form.getReference('resource_group_to_be_updated', getValue);
    return false; //this line was missing

    function getValue(business) {
        if (business.manager.toString() == '') {
            alert('Order Now is disabled if the assignment group manager is empty');
            return false;
        }
		g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;
		g_form.submit(actionName);
    }
}

Cheers,

Can we write this script "onchange" catalog client script format?

Because the reference variable "resource_group_to_be_updated" is only visible based on another multiple-choice variable. Otherwise, the reference field is hidden.

The above script is completely blocking the submission of requests.

Thanks

Hi @MR1 

So you can simply add an additional If statement at the beginning of the existing script.

This If condition will validate the "resource_group" variable against the four choices B, C, D and return true.

function onSubmit() {

    if (g_form.getValue('variable_name') === 'B' || g_form.getValue('variable_name') === 'C' || g_form.getValue('variable_name') === 'D') {
        return true;
    }

    /*** Pop this gem into your script! */
    if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid) {
        return true;
    }
    var actionName = g_form.getActionName();
    var business = g_form.getReference('resource_group_to_be_updated', getValue);
    return false; //this line was missing

    function getValue(business) {
        if (business.manager.toString() == '') {
            alert('Order Now is disabled if the assignment group manager is empty');
            return false;
        }
		g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;
		g_form.submit(actionName);
    }
}

Thank you for your response!

I tried your above script but it failed to validate the resource_group values. 

It's submitting the request for all three B, C, D values without the manager(broke something)

The issue remains the same but something went wrong and that new condition isn't helping us.

Hi @MR1 

What is the requirement (relationship) between these 2 variables resource_group_to_be_updated and resource_group?
