Hi Community,

 

Requirement: Make mandatory of Actual Start date and Actual end date fields in Change request at time of state is "Ready for deployment" but it will bypass this rule for requestor wants to cancel the change requests (means whenever requestor clicks the Cancel UI action button those Actual Start date and Actual end date fields are not mandatory and those can be cancelled

 

I have used below UI policy to Make it mandatory for Actual Start date and Actual end date fields, it works fine to set mandatory for those fields

Thanks,

You don't need to do anything. Your UI action is all server side. UI Policies are not enforced on the server side, only client side, and since your UI policy is driven by the state being Ready for Production Deployment, after clicking your UI action, the state will be changed to Canceled and the form will no longer require those to be mandatory client side automatically.

Hi @SrinivasuSagi ,

 

You need to make client callable UI Action, use below script in your script.

function cancelChange() {
  
  g_form.setMandatory('work_start', false);
 g_form.setMandatory('work_end', false);

  gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'cancel_rfc'); 
}
