Client script to hide checkbox based off of user's department.

[galavodasal]

Hey all, for whatever reason, UI policies to hide a checkbox will not work in our dev (Helsinki) or prod (Fuji) environments. So, I tried to create a client script to show the field "fast_corp" if the user's department in the "requested_for" field matches one of the four in the script. If not, hide the icon. So by default, the icon should be hidden until a user with one of the four departments matches the script.

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

  if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

  return;

  }

  var user = g_form.getValue('requested_for');

    if (user.department == "IT DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "FINANCE DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "Finance" || user.department == "SUPPLY") {

  g_form.setVisibile('fast_corp', 'true');

  }

else {

                g_form.setVisible('fast_corp');

          }

    }

I assume the dotwalking with the user variable didn't work.   Also, I tried removing the department condition and simply entered myself as the user and the checkbox was still showing up, no matter what user was entered.

Here you go.try this

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

  if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

  return;

  }

  var user = g_form.getReference('requested_for',CallBack);

function CallBack(user){

    if (user.department == "IT DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "FINANCE DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "Finance" || user.department == "SUPPLY") {

  g_form.setDisplay('fast_corp', true);

  }

else {

                g_form.setDisplay('fast_corp',false);

          }

}

    }

Nope, the checkbox still shows no matter what. Also, do I have to use the .toLowerCase() after the user.department, and should I use quotes or apostrophes ? Thanks!

Like

    if (user.department == "IT DEPARTMENTS"

Or

    if (user.department.toLowerCase() == 'IT DEPARTMENTS'

You will also need an onLoad script and put this script in there

  var user = g_form.getReference('requested_for',CallBack);

function CallBack(user){

    if (user.department == "IT DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "FINANCE DEPARTMENTS" || user.department == "Finance" || user.department == "SUPPLY") {

  g_form.setDisplay('fast_corp', true);

  }

else {

                g_form.setDisplay('fast_corp',false);

          }

}

Added this and it's onLoad client script as well, still no luck.

Why are the UI Policies not working? This is way more complicated than it needs to be, but I appreciate your help as always.
