Hide embedded list

[Marskh11]

I have a requirement to hide an embedded list. The article i was referencing to do so seems outdated as I receive an error that $$ is not a valid function. Does anyone know how to hide an embedded list based on a condition? Here is what I originally had before discovering in my debugger that $$ was not valid. 

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var list = $$('div[tab_caption="LABEL OF EMBEDDED LIST"]');

 var type = g_form.getValue('u_type');

if(list.hasClassName('embedded') && (type == 'sys_id of type field){
list.hide();
}

If you put you embedded list into a Form Section, you can hide it using vendor supported API:
GlideForm: setSectionDisplay(String sectionName, Boolean display)

Lets say your Form Section is called 'Embedded List Section'.
Your Client Script would look like this:

function onLoad() {

	/* Add yourCondition logic here */

	/**/

	if (yourCondition == true) {
		// Hide the embedded list
		g_form.setSectionDisplay("embedded_listsection",false);
	}

}

thanks Paul, that was helpful but was hoping to find a way specifically for embedded list on a form 🙂 thank you!

Hello,

I worked on similar issue today and found a solution that seems to be working just fine. This function would hide an embedded list (whatever the form section it's located in). The list_tablename is the table name it's referring to (ex : Affected Cis would be "task_ci").

it's working in London release and meet the strict mode requirements "New client-scripts are run in strict mode, with direct DOM access disabled."

function hide_EmbeddedList(list_tablename){
   var sections=g_form.getSections();
   
// Loop into all form sections
   for (var i=0;i<sections.length;i++) {

// Get elements with class 'embedded'
      var embedded_elements=sections[i].getElementsByClassName("embedded");

// Loop through those elements and when we get a valid match of the table name of the embedded list we hide it
      for (var i_element=0;i_element<embedded_elements.length;i_element++) {
         if (embedded_elements[i_element].getAttribute("tab_list_name_raw")) {
            if (embedded_elements[i_element].getAttribute("tab_list_name_raw").match("." + list_tablename + ".")) {
               embedded_elements[i_element].hide();
               return;
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Running in to the same error myself, wasn't sure if it was limited to scoped app or if it was happening globally as well. We're on Kingston.
