Clear infomessage

[sparkles]

Hi,

I have 2 client scripts on the same field, each one will display specific message based on the selection. I need to clear the message if selection changed. But when I change the option the old message still there (see screenshot).

This field has 5 options 2 of them should display a message

=================================================

the script is on-change

var _link = '<a href =" https://testlink.com/sites/xxxx" target="_blank">Form.</a>';

    // add the form message, using strings and the link variable that was built above

    if (newValue == 'first')

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

 ------------

second script

var _link = '<a href =" https://testlink.com/sites/xxxx" target="_blank">Form.</a>';

    // add the form message, using strings and the link variable that was built above

    if (newValue == 'second')

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

Hi @sparkles,

Try this updated scripts with clearMessages() method. it will remove the messages if condition is not met.

var _link = '<a href =" https://testlink.com/sites/xxxx" target="_blank">Form.</a>';

    // add the form message, using strings and the link variable that was built above

    if (newValue == 'first'){

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

   }else{

          g_form.clearMessages();

   }

 ------------

second script

var _link = '<a href =" https://testlink.com/sites/xxxx" target="_blank">Form.</a>';

    // add the form message, using strings and the link variable that was built above

    if (newValue == 'second'){

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

}else{

          g_form.clearMessages();

   }

Hi Sagar,

Thanks for your reply, that  made the message for the second option no longer shows

Hi @sparkles,

Apologies for the confusion. Rather than creating two separate client scripts for the same field/variable, you can consolidate them into a single client script, which will fulfill your requirements.

var _link = '<a href =" https://testlink.com/sites/xxxx" target="_blank">Form.</a>';

    // add the form message, using strings and the link variable that was built above

    if (newValue == 'first'){

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

   } else if (newValue == 'second'){

        g_form.addInfoMessage('Please download, complete and attach "XXX ' + link);

  }  else{

          g_form.clearMessages();

   }

Hi Sagar,

This works only if I select other options. But if I select "first" then change it to "second" the message from the first will remain and the message from the second will show (see attached)
