Client Script to make fields read only based on Field state and role

[paul_roberts]

Hi All,

We have an issue where people raising changes are able to alter the Planned start / end times aftert the change has been Scheduled.   the change team have asked if there is a way to stop this occuring.

I'm trying to build a Client script that will lock the fields when the state changes to 'Scheduled' for everyone except the Change team.

I've created a new role called change_unlock for this purpose which i will give to the members of the change team.

Worth mentioning that I'm a total scripting novice with very basic Javascript skills  

My script currently looks like this, but doesn't seem to do anything at all....

function onLoad()

{

      var rqdrole = g_user.hasRole('change_unlock');

      var state =   g_form.getValue('State');

}

if (state == 'Scheduled' + (rqdrole)){

      g_form.setReadonly('start_date',false);

      g_form.setReadonly('end_date',false);

}

else {

      if (state == 'Scheduled')

              g_form.setReadonly('start_date',true);

              g_form.setReadonly('end_date',true);

}

Hi Paul,

A slight modification in your script

function onLoad()

{

    if(isLoading) return false;

      var rqdrole = g_user.hasRole('change_unlock');

      var state =   g_form.getValue('State');

}

if (state == 'Scheduled'   && rqdrole ){

      g_form.setMandatory('start_date',false); // This makes the field non mandatory

      g_form.setReadonly('start_date',false);

      g_form.setMandatory('end_date',false);   // This makes the field non mandatory  

      g_form.setReadonly('end_date',false);

}

else {

      if (state == 'Scheduled')

              g_form.setReadonly('start_date',true);

              g_form.setReadonly('end_date',true);

}

Hope this works

Hi Ketan,

Thanks for this, however I've just tried it by impersonating a user without the role and the fields are still editable...

Cheers

Hi,

Gottcha   : setReadonly function is setReadOnly

Hope that's the culprit

Hi Paul,

I have edited little bit. Below is the code.

function onLoad()

{

var = g_user.hasRole('change_unlock');

var state =   g_form.getValue('state');

if(!rqdrole){

if (state != 'DontForegetTOReplaceThisWithChoiceValue' ){     // You can find the choice value of schedule Label by right clicking on the state field in the form and show choice list

      g_form.setReadonly('start_date',false);

      g_form.setReadonly('end_date',false);

}

else {

              g_form.setReadonly('start_date',true);

              g_form.setReadonly('end_date',true);

}

}

}

Hope this helps
