Catalog client script to remove drop down value if the values starts with SNOW

[BanuMahalakshmi]

Hi,

Need your help to remove(hide) the values starts with SNOW from the category drop down list into SP. The below script is working correctly  but i should remove dynamically instead of calling removeoption for each category.  If a new value(starts with SNOW) category is added in future, this code should remove it automatically from the particular record producer.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

g_form.removeOption('category', 'SNOW-Modules');
g_form.removeOption('category', 'SNOW-Compensation');

}

Use index of

newValue.indexOf()

Hi @BanuMahalakshmi 

You can try this script with Onload also.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading) {
return;
}
var selectBox = g_form.getControl('your_dropdown_field');
for (var i = 0; i < selectBox.options.length; i++) {
if (selectBox.options[i].text.startsWith('SNOW')) {
selectBox.remove(i);
}
}
}

Please mark it Correct and Hit Like if you find this helpful!

Hello @BanuMahalakshmi 

If you put all categories like this, obviously it wouldn't be scalable.

• One way to achieve this is to use a client script that loops through the options and removes the ones that match a certain condition. Try this below code.

function onLoad() {
    //Get the choice list element 
    var category = g_form.getControl(‘category’);

    //Loop through the options 
    for (var i = 0; i < category.options.length; i++) {

        //Get the option value
        var option = category.options[i].value;

        //Check if it starts with SNOW 
        if (option.startsWith(‘SNOW’)) {

            //Remove the option 
            g_form.removeOption(‘category’, option);
        }
    }
}​

• Another way to achieve this is to use a UI policy that sets the available choices for the category field based on a condition. 
  • Condition: true (always apply)
  • Script: true (use script to set choices)
  • Script: 

//Get the choice list element 
var category = g_form.getControl(‘category’);

//Create an array of choices to keep 
var choices = [];

//Loop through the options 
for (var i = 0; i < category.options.length; i++) {

    //Get the option value 
    var option = category.options[i].value;

    //Check if it does not start with SNOW 
    if (!option.startsWith(‘SNOW’)) {

        //Add the option to the array 
        choices.push(option);
    }
}
//Set the available choices for the category field 
g_form.setAvailableChoices(‘category’, choices);

Hope this helps

Kind Regards,

Hi @BanuMahalakshmi ,

you can try below onchange client script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
	if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
		return;
	}
	if(newValue.indexOf("SNOW")==0){//choice should starts with snow
		g_form.removeOption('category',newValue);
	}
}

or on submit

function onSubmit() {
	var val=g_form.getValue('category');
	if(val.indexOf("SNOW")==0){
		return false;
	}
}

Hi Thanks for reply,  The newValue can get only one value from the category drop down list  but i want to check all the drop down values. Also the script g_form.getValue('category') also fetching only one value but not all the values from the category drop down list.
