HIde 'Closed Cancelled' state on catalog task when catalog item has the Cancellable checkbox checked

Hello everyone,

I thought this one was pretty straightforward so i made a client script, but when a catalog item has the Cancellable checkbox checked, i need the associated catalog tasks to not show the closed cancelled state as a choice in the dropdown, the script below is not working:

 

function onLoad() {
if(g_scratchpad.u_cancellable == 'false') {
g_form.removeOption('state', '4');
}

}

Can someone spot what my script is missing?

I was thinking, since the Business Rule and Client Script itself are oke, and the addInfoMessage is simply not displayed, and you don't experience this in general with other Client Scripts:

Do you have other Client Scripts on the same form? Might these be interfering? Have you tried disabling these and retesting to see if the new Business Rule and Client Script are working? If so, then you know there's an issue or conflict with the existing Client Scripts on your form.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

try removing the single quotes around false.  

Also remove the single quotes around 4 in the remove state.  State is a integer.

i removed the quotes from both of those, as Mark mentioned the issue seems to be with the client script, the logs on my client script are not displaying, but the log on my business rule displays.

I got this working in my PDI.  Here is the client script.  Although a state of 4 is closed incomplete not skipped 

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    if (g_scratchpad.u_cancellable == 'false') {
        //alert ('in if');
        g_form.removeOption('state', 4);
    }
}

My Business rule has this code in it.

g_scratchpad.u_cancellable = current.request_item.cat_item.u_cancellable;

Hi,

First thing if your Business Rule is on sc_task, then use

g_scratchpad.u_cancellable = current.request_item.cat_item.u_cancellable; instead of "g_scratchpad.u_cancellable = current.u_cancellable;".

else create new display Br on sc_task with "g_scratchpad.u_cancellable = current.request_item.cat_item.u_cancellable;"

Final one is the Client Script

use this updated client script:

function onLoad() {
if(g_scratchpad.u_cancellable.toString() == 'false') {
g_form.removeOption('state', '4');
}

}

Or,

function onLoad() {
if(g_scratchpad.u_cancellable == false) {
g_form.removeOption('state', '4');
}

}
