Client Script for Error Message

[aubreysallee]

Hi I'm trying to write a client script to make an error message when the "Portfolio" field is changed to "AIT" and the choice field below it (A question about   being submitted on behalf of a Business Partner) has not be answered already. This is the script I have so far, but it is not working. The commented out part I'm not sure if I need or not, I had it originally but was trying to see if it would work without it. Any ideas would be very appreciated!

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    //if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        // return;
    //}

if(g_form.getValue('portfolio')=='AIT'
  && g_form.getValue('u_choice_1')==''){

  g_form.addErrorMessage('Please answer "Business Partner" Question');

  }

}

Cool, try this...i feel we are almost there

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
          return;
    }

if(g_form.DisplayBox('portfolio).value=='AIT' && g_form.getValue('u_choice_1')==''){

  g_form.addErrorMessage('Please answer "Business Partner" Question');

  }

}

For some reason it is giving me a ton of errors on this code. Trying to figure it out but if you can see any issues please let me know, I'm still a novice with JS. Thanks!

Was just missing a ' so I fixed that so I'd run. However, when I went back to the form to try it out it gave me this error message under the field:

onChange script error: TypeError: g_form.DisplayBox is not a function function onChange_dmn_demand_portfolio_1(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) { if (isLoading || newValue === '') { return; } if(g_form.DisplayBox('portfolio').value =='AIT' && g_form.getValue('u_choice_1')==''){ g_form.addErrorMessage('Please answer "Business Partner" Question'); } }

Hi Aubrey,

This time i will be right

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
          return;
    }

if(g_form.getDisplayBox('portfolio').value=='AIT' && g_form.getValue('u_choice_1')==''){

  g_form.addErrorMessage('Please answer "Business Partner" Question');

  }

}

Thank you very much, it did in fact work! Now I have another question. In the u_choice_1 field I need to create an alert if that field is answered with the "Yes" choice. I tried to replicate the client script for it using the one you gave me, but I cannot get it to work. Would you mind telling me what I'm doing wrong? Here it is below. Thank you!

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

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

          return;

    }

    //Alert telling user to update portfolio based on the business partners business group/department

  if(g_form.getDisplayBox('u_choice_1').value==1){

          g_form.alert("Please update the Portfolio to represent the Business Partner's Business Group/Department");

  }

}
