Hide the "New" UI action button of the change_request from the related list of tasks.

[Maria Sol Arauz]

I need your help with a UI action on a related list of a change. I need to introduce the condition that the button disappears if the state of the change is implement, review, or scheduled. Can you help me?

Hi @Maria Sol Arauz ,

put this in the omit new script

var state = parent.state
if (state == -1 || state == -2 || state == 0)
    answer = true

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

@Maria Sol Arauz 

are you comparing correct state values?

also if you want to omit then ensure answer=true in script is set

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Maria Sol Arauz and @Ankur Bawiskar - I'm not sure how this response solves the issue.

Based on the script provided, it's a logic issue.

Check my response and solution which resolves the issue. Providing this response so as to help @Maria Sol Arauz and the community when looking back at this in the future.

As the condition is for omitting, it's a double negative as it were. Additionally, you can't use || when checking for multiple values. It needs to be an && check. 

if (parent.state != -2 && parent.state != -1 && parent.state != 0) {
	answer = false;
}
else{
	answer = true;
}

Hi @Maria Sol Arauz,

Change your script to the following. This is tried and tested on my PDI.

(It's a logic thing... when you use || (or) you still match the other conditions.) The below resolves this.

if (parent.state != -2 && parent.state != -1 && parent.state != 0) {
	answer = false;
}
else{
	answer = true;
}

Since the button is "omit new button," the values of the answer must be true for the condition you want to hide it. I was doing it the other way around.

Hi @Maria Sol Arauz,

Correct. This is why I reversed the logic us not equal to ("!=")

I'm glad you got to the solution.

This also works using inverse logic:
