[Supriya25]

Hi All,

When I selected 'None' value in reference field, alert message not coming.

OnChnage Client script
Field : Assignment Group

if(g_form.getValue('assignment_group')==''){

alert('Empty');
}

Hi @Supriya25 ,

if you have something like this in your code

when the group value is empty it will hit the return statement and other line will not run

you convert it to something like this

 if (!newValue) {
        alert('EMPTY');
    }

please share you code and client script screenshots if you are still facing the issue

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

Hi @Supriya25 ,

To detect when a reference field such as Assignment Group has been cleared (i.e. set to “ None ”), ensure your onChange client script does not exit when newValue === ''; instead, remove that condition so if (g_form.getValue('assignment_group') == '') { alert('Empty'); } will successfully trigger the alert.

Try this once and let me know. If you find this helpful, please accept this as a solution and hit the helpful button..

@Supriya25 

if it's a reference field then why it's showing None option and why it's a drop down?

what type of field is that? share screenshots

what's your business requirement?
