catalog form submission is getting stopped for asynchronous glideajax call

[Amit Dey1]

I have made below script for a certain condition where I want to stop catalog form submission and it is working fine but for any other time also form is not getting submitted. 

var allowSubmit = false;

function onSubmit() {

    // If the flag is true, skip validation and allow form to submit

    if (allowSubmit) {

        return true;

    }

    var fss = g_form.getValue('cat_funding_sources_and_structure');

    var fss_old = g_form.getValue('cat_fss_old');

    if (fss_old.length == 32 && fss.length == 0) {

        return confirm("Caution: Removing the AIM case will disassociate all products and applications from the funding source.");

    }

    var actionType = getParmVal('Action_Type');

    if (actionType == 'New') {

        var productName = g_form.getValue('cat_product_name');

        var ga = new GlideAjax("global.AIRProductClientUtils");

        ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "checkProductNameExist");

        ga.addParam("sysparm_nameValue", productName);

        // Stop the original submit until we know the result

        ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {

            if (answer === 'true') {

                g_form.clearValue("cat_product_name");

                g_form.showErrorBox('cat_product_name', 'Product Name already in use');

                alert('Product Name already in use');

            } else {

                // Allow form to submit now

                allowSubmit = true;

                g_form.submit();

            }

        });

        return false; // Stop submission until callback finishes

    }

    return true; // allow other action types

}

function getParmVal(name) {

    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");

    var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";

    var regex = new RegExp(regexS);

    var results = regex.exec(top.location);

    return results == null ? "" : unescape(results[1]);

}

Hi @Amit Dey1 

Below code will work:

function onSubmit() {
	if (!g_form.ajaxComplete) {
		makeAjaxCall();
		//if the 
		return false;
	}
	return true;
}

function makeAjaxCall() {
    // If the flag is true, skip validation and allow form to submit
    

    var fss = g_form.getValue('cat_funding_sources_and_structure');
    var fss_old = g_form.getValue('cat_fss_old');

    if (fss_old.length == 32 && fss.length == 0) {
        return confirm("Caution: Removing the AIM case will disassociate all products and applications from the funding source.");
    }

    var actionType = getParmVal('Action_Type');
    if (actionType == 'New') {
        var productName = g_form.getValue('cat_product_name');
        var ga = new GlideAjax("global.AIRProductClientUtils");
        ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "checkProductNameExist");
        ga.addParam("sysparm_nameValue", productName);

        // Stop the original submit until we know the result
        ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {
            if (answer === 'true') {
                g_form.clearValue("cat_product_name");
                g_form.showErrorBox('cat_product_name', 'Product Name already in use');
                alert('Product Name already in use');
            } else {
                // Allow form to submit now
                // allowSubmit = true;
                g_form.ajaxComplete = true;
                g_form.submit();
            }
        });

        return false; // Stop submission until callback finishes
    }

   // return true; // allow other action types
}

function getParmVal(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
    var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
    var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
    var results = regex.exec(top.location);
    return results == null ? "" : unescape(results[1]);
}

Hi @Amit Dey1 

Try below code, it will work

function onSubmit() {
    if (!g_form.ajaxComplete) {
        makeAjaxCall();
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

function makeAjaxCall() {
    // If the flag is true, skip validation and allow form to submit
    var fss = g_form.getValue('cat_funding_sources_and_structure');
    var fss_old = g_form.getValue('cat_fss_old');

    if (fss_old.length == 32 && fss.length == 0) {
        return confirm("Caution: Removing the AIM case will disassociate all products and applications from the funding source.");
    }

    var actionType = getParmVal('Action_Type');
    if (actionType == 'New') {
        var productName = g_form.getValue('cat_product_name');
        var ga = new GlideAjax("global.AIRProductClientUtils");
        ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "checkProductNameExist");
        ga.addParam("sysparm_nameValue", productName);

        // Stop the original submit until we know the result
        ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {
