Client Script - How to Change Dependent Field to '--None--'

[Laurie Marlowe1]

Hello,

We have two fields, T-Shirt Size and Governance.   When T-Shirt Size is set to a size, then the value of the Governance field changes.

For example, I select M-Medium for T-Shirt Size, and Governance changes to team.   This works fine for any T-Shirt Size I choose, except '--None--'.

When I change T-Shirt Size to '--None--', I want Governance to be set to '--None--'.

I tried a variety of things, including removing "Dropdown with --None--" from the dictionary entry for both fields, and adding "--None--" as a choice.   This works, but then I cannot set the T-Shirt Size to mandatory, because the "--None--" choice is a valid selection, in this case.

Here is the script.   I also tried if(newValue == '--None--'), and that did not work either.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
if (newValue != oldValue){
if (newValue == ''){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','');
}
if (newValue == 'small'){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','team');
}
if (newValue == 'medium'){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','team');
}
if (newValue =='large'){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','portfolio');
}
if (newValue == 'xlarge'){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','enterprise');
}
if (newValue == 'xxlarge'){
g_form.setValue('u_governance','enterprise');
}
}
return;
}

Thank you in advance,

Laurie

Reply from email… Try this instead since switch statements are a little easier to read and manage than a bunch of If statatement…

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

if (isLoading) {

return;

}

var govValue = "";

switch (newValue.toString()) {

case '':

govValue = "";

break;

case 'small':

govValue = "team";

break;

case 'medium':

govValue = "portfolio";

break;

case 'large':

govValue = "";

break;

case 'xlarge':

govValue = "enterprise";

break;

case 'xxlarge':

govValue = "enterprise";

break;

}

g_form.setValue('u_governance', govValue);

}

Well, I made another tweak, and this works with the if statements. I am going to use the switch statement as you suggested, since it is easier to read.

For those of you that want to see how it works with the if statements:

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

if (isLoading) {

return;

}

if (newValue != oldValue){

if (newValue == 'small'){

g_form.setValue('u_governance','team');

}

if (newValue == 'medium'){

g_form.setValue('u_governance','team');

}

if (newValue =='large'){

g_form.setValue('u_governance','portfolio');

}

if (newValue == 'xlarge'){

g_form.setValue('u_governance','enterprise');

}

if (newValue == 'xxlarge'){

g_form.setValue('u_governance','enterprise');

}

return;

}

if (newValue == ""){

g_form.setValue('u_governance',"");

return;

}

}
