How to Check Multiple Mandatory fields in UI action

RudhraKAM · ‎05-17-2019

I have a use case in UI action if the fields are empty we need to abort the action and display mandatory message ,, we already has UI policies for making mandatory for those fields , but when i click on UI action it is ignoring the mandatory conditions

function close(){

var dialogClass = window.GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
var gDialog = new dialogClass('close2_record');
gDialog.setTitle('Publish ' + g_form.getValue('display_name') + ' to record Catalog');
gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sys_id', g_form.getValue());
}

Try this ... I tested it out in a DEV instance. It will print the Error Message just like your UI Policy would.

function close(){

var arr = g_form.getMissingFields();
var labels = [];

if (arr.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
labels.push(g_form.getLabelOf(arr[i]));
}
g_form.addErrorMessage('The following mandatory fields are not filled in: '+labels.toString());
return;
}

var dialogClass = window.GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
var gDialog = new dialogClass('close2_record');
gDialog.setTitle('Publish ' + g_form.getValue('display_name') + ' to record Catalog');
gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sys_id', g_form.getValue());
}

Hello Allen

by adding this line to my code seems working to display the alert message

But how to abort the action if the alert is popup /mandatory fields are not filled

function close(){

var arr = g_form.getMissingFields();
alert("The ID s of fields that are mandatory are not filled : " + arr);

var dialogClass = window.GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
var gDialog = new dialogClass('close2_record');
gDialog.setTitle('Publish ' + g_form.getValue('display_name') + ' to record Catalog');
gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sys_id', g_form.getValue());
}

function close(){

var arr = g_form.getMissingFields();
 
if (arr.length < 0) {
alert("The ID s of fields that are mandatory are not filled : " + arr);
return;
}



var dialogClass = window.GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
var gDialog = new dialogClass('close2_record');
gDialog.setTitle('Publish ' + g_form.getValue('display_name') + ' to record Catalog');
gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sys_id', g_form.getValue());
}

This will cancel out of the UI Action if there is nothing in the arr variable, but it will not reset whatever values the user has already put into the form.
