g_form.getValue not working in a loop

[gunishi]

Hi there, 

I have a loop that checks through variables and checks their status (true or false).

I have the following code and the getValue function is not working. It works for the first variable and then not for the others, even though I know it is cycling through them as the message appears for every variable, however, it is missing the getValue part of the message after it has looped through the first variable.

Code:

for (var x = 0; x < mandatory.length; x++) { 

    g_form.addInfoMessage('Value of ' + mandatory[x] + ' is ' + g_form.getValue(mandatory[x])); 

}

Output:

Value of honey_mustard is true

Value of chilli is

Value of sour_cream_and_onion is

Value of mint is

Value of barbecue is

Value of mayo is

Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you fix it?

Many thanks in advance, 

G

@gunishi Could you please post the entire script here. This will give us some context, and will help in faster resolution.

Hi @Sandeep Rajput 

Thank you for the response. 

My code is adapted from this:

function onSubmit(){
    //Set the mandatory checkbox variable names and total mandatory count here
    var mandatoryVars = 'md,do,pa,pa_c,pt,pharm_d,aprn_cp,aprn_cnm,rn,lpn,ma,phd,lpc,msw,lcsw,ld,crna,mha';
    var mandatoryCount = 4;
   
    var passed = forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatoryVars, mandatoryCount);
    if(!passed){
        //Abort the submit
        alert('You must select at least ' + mandatoryCount + ' options.');
        return false;
    }
}

function forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatory, count){
    //Split the mandatory variable names into an array
    mandatory = mandatory.split(',');
    var answer = false;
    var varFound = false;
    var numTrue = 0;
    //Check each variable in the array
    for(x=0;x<mandatory.length;x++){
        //Check to see if variable exists
        if(g_form.getControl(mandatory[x])){
            varFound = true;
            //Check to see if variable is set to 'true'
            if(g_form.getValue(mandatory[x]) == 'true'){
                numTrue ++;
                
            }
        }
    }
    //If we didn't find any of the variables allow the submit
    if(varFound == false){
        answer = true;
    }
    if(numTrue<count){
        answer = false;
    }
    //Return true or false
    return answer;
}

It is not the exact same, but essentially the same structure. 

Thank you for your help. 

Kind regards,

@gunishi 

are you sure the mandatory variable which seems to be an array has correct variables inside it?

[gunishi]

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

Yes I am sure as the correct variable names are printed in the output, just not the values.  A bit stumped with this one!
