Confirm popup on submit

[Kim Jenson]

Hello experts,

So I'm trying to get a confirmation pop up to work onSubmit off a referenced field in a SCOPED APP. I want to say get the display value from the 'source' field and put it in the confirm box. I've checked to make sure the display is 'true' for 'name' on source table. trying this following code, but not working for me.

If I do getValue('source'), then I get a sysid back, so that tells me since it's a reference, I need to dot walk it. But can't seem to figure it out. Please help! Thanks.

function onSubmit() {

  var source = g_form.getDisplayValue('source.name');

  var confirm = confirm("Are you sure "+ source + " is correct?");

  if (confirm == false){

  return false;

  }

}

Hi Kim,

getDisplayValue() method is used to   return the display value of the reference field. However this is not supported at client side, hence you have to make a GlideAjax call and then return the response. More info here.

you can do a g_form.getReference('value').name;    

where name is the "Name" field on the referenced table.

Hi Kim,

Use below script

function onSubmit() {

var myVal= g_form.getReference('source',

function doAlert(source) {

return source.name;

}

);

var confirm = confirm("Are you sure "+ myVal + " is correct?");

  if (confirm == false){

  return false;

  }

}
