How to hide a mandatory field using catalog client script?

[The Matrix]

Hi All,

I've written a onChange catalog client script on Subcategory field. whenever a specific subcategory is selected then the description field should be visible and should become mandatory. After Subcategory value changes back to --None-- the description field should be hidden (vice versa). I have written below script. It is not working. 

And we are adding category and subcategory choices via catalog client script. As these variables are from Variable set. How can I achieve this same functionality via catalog UI Policy. 

if (newValue == 'create_a_new_local_gcajob/sub_family') {
        g_form.setDisplay('description', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('description', true);
}
else 
{
        g_form.setMandatory('description', true); 
        g_form.setDisplay('description', true); 
}

Hi @The Matrix ,

I tried your problem in my PDI and it is working fine for me

Can you please try with UI Policy, 

Create UI Policy Action 

Result

When Option one is selected description is mandatory

When Option two is selected description is not visible

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards,

try this once -> do clear the description when you are hiding it

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading)
        return;

    if (newValue == 'create_a_new_local_gcajob/sub_family') { // use correct value to compare
        g_form.setDisplay('description', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('description', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setMandatory('description', false);
		g_form.clearValue('description');
        g_form.setDisplay('description', false);
    }

}

Hi @The Matrix 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading) return;

// Target variable name: 'description'
if (newValue == 'create_a_new_local_gcajob/sub_family') {
g_form.setDisplay('description', true);
g_form.setMandatory('description', true);
} else {
g_form.setMandatory('description', false);
g_form.setDisplay('description', false);
g_form.clearValue('description');
}
}
