How to hide a choice list value based on user role

[Rhonda9]

Hello,

I am trying to hide a choice list value Category(category) on the work order form from a specific role.

I tried creating a onLoad client script but I must be doing something wrong because it is not working.

This is my script below which I am not good at.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

function onLoad(){

if(g_user.hasRole('wm_security'))

 return;

        g_form.removeOption('category(category)', 'electrical');

}

Do like this

• Remove the Option "Electrical" from the category choice list from the backend
• add the below code to Onload

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    if (!g_user.hasRole("wm_security")) {
        g_form.addOption("category", "electrical", "Electrical");
        var control = g_form.getControl("category");
        var options = [];
        for (var m = 0; m < control.options.length; m++) {
            var op = {
                "text": control.options[m].text,
                "value": control.options[m].value
            };
            options.push(op);
        }
        options = options.sort(function(op1, op2) {

            if (op1.text > op2.text) return 1;
            if (op1.text < op2.text) return -1;

        });
        g_form.clearOptions("category");
        for (var b = 0; b < options.length; b++) {
            g_form.addOption("category", options[b].value, options[b].text);
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
