Client Script remove White Space from fields

[purdue]

Hello,

I have a requirement to remove whitespace from Asset tag and Serial Number on Alm_asset via Client Script.   I was given regex

cleanedName = cleanedName.replace(/^\u200B+/, '').replace(/\u200B+$/, '');   

Any assistance is appreciated.

function onSubmit() {

var tag = g_form.getValue('asset_tag');

if(tag != '') {

var trimmedValue = tag.replace(/\u200B+$/, '');

tag = trimmedValue;

}

}

The regex  /\u200B+$/ matches the Unicode zero-width space from the end of a string. To remove all whitespace from a string use /[\s\u200B]+/g.

Your code, updated to remove all of the whitespace from the asset tag, would look like this:

function onSubmit() {
    var tag = g_form.getValue('asset_tag');
    if (tag != '') {
        var trimmedValue = tag.replace(/[\s\u200B]+/g, '');
        tag = trimmedValue;
    }
}

Hi @purdue 
If your requirement is just to remove white space, then try below script.

function onSubmit() {
    var tag = g_form.getValue('asset_tag');
    if (tag) {
        var trimmedValue = tag.replace(/\s+/g, '');
        g_form.setValue('asset_tag', trimmedValue);
    }
}

Regards,
Siva

@purdue 

you should use onChange client script rather than onSubmit script

something like this in onSubmit if you still require that

function onSubmit() {
    // Get the values of the asset_tag and serial_number fields
    var assetTag = g_form.getValue('asset_tag');
    var serialNumber = g_form.getValue('serial_number');

    // Check if asset_tag is not empty and trim whitespace
    if (assetTag != '') {
        var trimmedAssetTag = assetTag.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
        g_form.setValue('asset_tag', trimmedAssetTag);
    }

    // Check if serial_number is not empty and trim whitespace
    if (serialNumber != '') {
        var trimmedSerialNumber = serialNumber.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
        g_form.setValue('serial_number', trimmedSerialNumber);
    }
}
