Hide all empty field from a form

[xif1]

Hello SN community,

I'm actually trying to hide all empty fields from a from, I know a simple way with a client script like :

function onLoad() { 
     if (g_form.getValue('user_name') == '') 
               g_form.setDisplay('user_name', false);
}

It's perfectly working but when you have 40 fields, it the worst maintenable things ever.

I was wondering if there is a method to get all the name fields in a form, to handle this action in a while statement.

Regards,

Romain,

You need to do a GlideAjax for this.

Create a Script Include as:

Name : FieldsAjax

Client Callable : True:

Script:

var FieldsAjax = Class.create();

FieldsAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

  getFieldsEmpty: function() {

  var emptyFields = '';

  var gr = new GlideRecord(<<table_name>>);

  gr.get(this.getParameter('sysparm_id');

  var fields = new GlideRecordUtil().getFields(gr);

  for (var num = 0; num < fields.length; num++) {

  var field_name = fields[num];

  if(gr[field_name] == '')

  {

  if(emptyFields.length == 0)

  {

  emptyFields = field_name;

  }

  else

  {

  emptyFields += ',' + field_name;

  }

  }

  }

  return emptyFields;

  });

Now have a onLoad Client Script something like:

var ga = new GlideAjax('FieldsAjax');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getFieldsEmpty');

ga.addParam('sysparm_id', g_form.getUniqueValue());

ga.getXMLWait();

var fields = ga.getAnswer();

var fieldArray = fields.split(',');

for(var i=0 ; i < fieldArray.length; i++)

{

g_form.setDisplay(fieldArray[i],false);

}

Thank you Mani Kanta Korada, it works perfectly.

I got much more than I expected, appreciate a lot,

Have a good day !
