How to get field name when click on the UI macro button

[ramesh_r]

Hi All

I have created one Button in UI Macro and I used that in TWO different fields. 

Now i just want to know when user is click on the button it should alert the field name from where they clicked

 The below script i have used in UI macro

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<!-- <div class="contentcontainer med left" style="margin-left: 280px;"> -->

  <button onclick="myFunction()">Click Here</button> 
       
<script>
 function myFunction(){
					alert("Test")
	}
</script>

</j:jelly>

Hi there,

Just tested with below, works fine! Look at the g_form.addErrorMessage('${ref}'.split('.')[1]); part. This gives the field_name you're decoration is on.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
	<!-- <div class="contentcontainer med left" style="margin-left: 280px;"> -->

	<button onclick="myFunction()">Click Here</button> 

	<script>
		function myFunction(){
		g_form.addErrorMessage('${ref}'.split('.')[1]);
		}
	</script>

</j:jelly>

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark
