Client script

[roomawakar]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to make the location field blank and mandatory on alm_asset form on every change of state field.

Once the state value changes, the location field should be blank and mandatory, so that the user can fill the location manually and update the asset form.

I have written the onChange client script on State field but it is not working.

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

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    if (newValue == 1 || newValue == 2 || newValue == 3 || newValue == 6 || newValue == 7 || newValue == 8 || newValue == 9 || newValue == 10 || newValue == 11) {

        g_form.clearValue('location');

        g_form.setMandatory('location', true);

        g_form.addErrorMessage('Please fill the Location field before saving the record');

        return false;

           }

}

hi @roomawakar 

The return false statement in the script is typically used in onSubmit client scripts to prevent form submission. In an onChange client script, it’s not needed.

Check if other scripts or UI policies are controlling the location field’s mandatory state or value, they could conflict with your script.

Try bellow script once and test:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    // Exit if the form is loading or the new value is empty
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    // Define the states where location should be cleared and mandatory
    var targetStates = ['1', '2', '3', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11']; // Adjust based on your choice list values

    // Check if the new state is in the target list
    if (targetStates.indexOf(newValue) >= 0) {
        g_form.clearValue('location'); // Clear the location field
        g_form.setMandatory('location', true); // Make location mandatory
    } else {
        g_form.setMandatory('location', false); // Make location non-mandatory for other states
    }
}

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you

In condition try string instead of integer as below:

    if (newValue == '1' || newValue == '2' || newValue == '3' || newValue == '6' || newValue == '7' || newValue == '8' || newValue == '9' || newValue == '10' || newValue == '11')

@roomawakar 

try this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') return;

    // Use an array for the states where location should be reset and required
    var requiredStates = ['1','2','3','6','7','8','9','10','11'];

    // Check if the new state is in the requiredStates array
    var isRequired = requiredStates.indexOf(String(newValue)) !== -1;

    // Always clear the location if required, and set mandatory accordingly
    if (isRequired) {
        g_form.clearValue('location');
        g_form.setMandatory('location', true);
        g_form.showFieldMsg('location', 'Please fill the Location field before saving the record', 'error');
    } else {
        g_form.setMandatory('location', false);
        g_form.hideFieldMsg('location', true); // Remove any lingering messages
    }
}

Hi @roomawakar ,

your script should work

just check if the fieldname on the client script is populated with your state field name

enhancement to the script

if it's onChange of state you can use 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    if (newValue) {
        g_form.clearValue('location');
        g_form.setMandatory('location', true);
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Please fill the Location field before saving the record');
    }
}

if the state changes to specific values 

you can use the scripts shared by other members

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
