Giving alert pop up for the first save only

[chaitanya_k333]

Hello All, I have given an alert message to a form. When I fill the form and click on Save button an alert gets generated. For this. I have written a simple client script. The code is

function onSubmit() {

    alert('" Are you sure you want to save this record ? You will not be able to change The Type after Save/ Submit."');

}

This is working accordingly when i Click on save button and saving it for the first time. Now the problem is occuring when I am doing any changes in the same form again and clicking save button, the same pop up is appearing again and again. How can I modify it like only for the first save, the alert should get triggered not when I am modifying the form again and clicking on save button. Please suggest

Create a field on the form which will count how many times Save button is clicked.

Then when first time,save button is clicked the field value exceeds to 1 ,then execute script.

Thanks,

Hiranmayee

Use g_form.isNewRecord() in if condition. More information in below link.

Hi Chaitanya,

                    Create on display business rule and store the operation;

g_scratchpad.operation_type   = current.operatiopn();

In onsubmit script.

function onSubmit() {

if(g_scratchpad.operation_type == 'insert');

{

    alert('" Are you sure you want to save this record ? You will not be able to change The Type after Save/ Submit."');

  }

else

{

continue;

}

}

Regards,

Harish.

yes. first save and insert are one and the same.so insert BR would work in this case.
