default value in choice list using 'javascript'

[ckjbeos]

Hi,

in my incident Forms i try to set the value of 'contact_type' field (field is a choice list)

using javascipt into default value, i want to set the value for user have a specific role

in first time i just try with role 'itil'

i write this :

javascript:if (gs.hasRole("itil")) {phone} else {portail};

but not work

later i will create a special role 'hotliner_role' and use this role.

regards,

Cedric

If you want to do this in a client script you could use an onLoad client script something like this. Note, this is untested...

if (g_user.hasRole('itil')) {

        g_form.setValue('contact_type', 'phone');

} else {

        g_form.setValue('contact_type', 'portal');

}

Hi Tomasi,

i know clientscript onLoad, but i think i t's more good to do this into default value, because i just need to set this value for new incident not existing

that's why i prefer to set it into the default field value

Hi Cedric,

You would then do this from the dictionary entry for that field with something similar to this:

javascript:if (gs.hasRole('itil')) current.contact_type = 'phone';
