Hello Developers,
I am hoping someone can assist me as I am having some trouble with getting a confirmation box to appear using GlideDialogWindow. Granted I am new to javascript...I have attempted to piece together various parts of community posts and tutorial videos.
My goal here is to set a confirmation for change requests when the planned start date changes to a period we have deemed as blackout dates. There are a few conditions I need this script to follow.
State - New (we do not wish this to occur once approval has been requested)
Planned start date - a range of dates that may be updated later
User does not have role - xxxx_CAB_all_standard_read (a custom role all CAB members have)
When a user selects 'Proceed' it keeps the planned start date and saves the form to allow submission.
When a user selects 'Cancel' it clears the planned start date.
Below is my 'onChange' Client Script on the 'change_request' table.
function onChange() {
if (!g_user.hasRole('xxxx_CAB_all_standard_read')) {
var startDate = g_form.getValue('start_date');
var parsedStartDate = new Date(startDate);
var startRange = new Date('2024-10-01');
var endRange = new Date('2024-10-31');
if (parsedStartDate >= startRange && parsedStartDate <= endRange && g_form.getValue('state') === '-5') {
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('are_you_sure_dialog');
gdw.setTitle('Confirm Submission');
gdw.setMessage('Change is being scheduled during the blackout period of October 1st-October 31st. Are you sure you wish to proceed?');
gdw.addChoice('proceed', 'Proceed', true);
gdw.addChoice('cancel', 'Cancel', false);
gdw.on('choice', function(choice) {
if (choice === 'Proceed') {
// Action for proceeding
g_form.save();
} else if (choice === 'Cancel') {
// Action for canceling
g_form.clearValue('start_date');
}
// Close the dialog after a choice is made
gdw.close();
});
gdw.render();
} else
// Optional: Handle the case where the user has the role
g_form.addErrorMessage('Change has been scheduled during a blackout period.');
}
}
I also created the below UI page that this script is calling. I'm not sure if anything needs to be passed here.
The issue I'm having is as an 'itil' user that does NOT have the custom role, I am still receiving the error message when impersonating. Additionally, when selecting a date in that window it's as if the dialog box attempts to load, but gets stuck loading.
Any advice on how to get this working is greatly appreciated!
