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

Hi Laurie,

Have you tried using this in the script ?

if(newValue == ''){

g_form.setValue('u_governance', '--None--');

}

Thanks,

SD

Hi snow123,

I tried your suggestion, and also:

if(newValue == '--None--'){

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

}

No luck...

Laurie, if you right click on those two choice fields and choose Configure Dictionary, go to the Choice List Specification section and tell me what the Choice value is.   Is it set to Dropdown with --None--?   Then scroll down to the Choices related list, do you have a choice for --None--?   None shouldn't be a valid value and if you set the value to "" it should require it unless you made None a valid value.

Hi Michael,

Both are set to Dropdown with --None--

Neither have a value for '--None--' in the choice list
