Client Script not recognising data in Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS)

[JGuerrero0323]

Hi Everyone,

I am struggling with an onSubmit Catalog Client Script that is intended to validate that at least one change has been requested before a user submits a "Distribution List" modification request.

The Goal: If the user selects "Change Existing Distribution List," they must fill out at least one of several fields OR add at least one row to a Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS) named additional_dl_member_outside_dpc.

The Problem: Even when I add rows to the MRVS, the script still triggers the error message and prevents submission as if the MRVS were empty. I have verified the internal names and tried checking for '', [], and JSON.parse().length, but the script doesn't seem to "see" the new rows during the onSubmit event.

function onSubmit() {
	var changeRequired = g_form.getValue('change_required');
    var addNew = g_form.getValue('add_new_distribution_list_owners'); 
    var removeO = g_form.getValue('remove_distribution_list_owners');
    var addMembers = g_form.getValue('add_distribution_list_members');
	var removeM = g_form.getValue('remove_distribution_list_members');
    var outsideMembers = g_form.getValue('additional_dl_member_outside_dpc');

    if (changeRequired == 'Change Existing Distribution List' && addNew == '' && removeO == '' && addMembers == '' && outsideMembers == '' && removeM =='') {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('At least one distribution list must be specified before submitting.');
        return false; // Prevent submission
    }
}

try this

function onSubmit() {
    var changeRequired = g_form.getValue('change_required');
    var addNew = g_form.getValue('add_new_distribution_list_owners');
    var removeO = g_form.getValue('remove_distribution_list_owners');
    var addMembers = g_form.getValue('add_distribution_list_members');
    var removeM = g_form.getValue('remove_distribution_list_members');
    var outsideMembersRaw = g_form.getValue('additional_dl_member_outside_dpc');

    var hasOutsideMembers = outsideMembersRaw !== '' && outsideMembersRaw !== '[]';

    if (changeRequired === 'Change Existing Distribution List' &&
        addNew === '' && removeO === '' && addMembers === '' &&
        !hasOutsideMembers && removeM === '') {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('At least one distribution list must be specified before submitting.');
        return false;
    }
}
