How to get the assignment group type in client script?

[Snehal2]

Hi Developers,

 I need to make a field(s_comments) visible on incident only if the Assignment group type="Supplier".

For this, I have written a UI policy on s_comments to hide it and a client script to control its visibility if the Assignment group type="Supplier". but its not working.

In client script I used the call back reference. Can any one let me know how can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of client script, better dot walk Assignment Group to get the type in UI Policy condition builder something like below

Hi Raju,

Its working as expected. Thanks a lot. It was simple but I was trying tough one.

But I m not getting why the tough one is not working..It was something as below. I tried(hardcoded) using sysID of group type Supplier but that was also not working...

Can u let me know whats wrong in below script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
	if (newValue === '') {
		return;
	}
		
	var grp = g_form.getReference('assignment_group',doAlert);

//alert(grp.type.getDisplayValue());

	 function doAlert(grp) { //reference is passed into callback as first arguments

//alert(grp.type.getDisplayValue());

		if(grp.type == 'Supplier')
 			{
//alert('Supplier'+grp.type);
 		  g_form.setVisible('u_s_comments', true);
 			}
	}
}

Hi Snehal ,

    in your client script you trying to refer assignment_group's type

1.you will get easily group by using getReference() method, which is field of sys_user_group table,

2.and you are trying to fetch the type of group..but in this case  group type field is type of glide_list (generally it contains list of references)

for glide_list refer the link

if useful hit like or mark correct!!
