How to hide an embedded list using a client script or UI Policy

[mballinger]

Hello,

I have an ask to hide an embedded list onLoad() based off certain fields being populated. I am struggling to hide the embedded list. I have tried 2 different ways to hide the embedded list, but it is still not hiding. Please see below:

Method 1:

function onLoad() {

	var isDiscontinued = g_form.getValue('u_is_discontinued');
	if (isDiscontinued == 'yes') {
		g_form.hideRelatedList("REL:ced561fe1b6edd94e0b2feeccd4bedc5");
	}

}

Method 2:

function onLoad() {
        // Saw this method on snguru website
	var list = $$('div[tab_caption="Product Type"]')[0];
		if(list.hasClassName('embedded')){
			list.hide();
		}

}

I have tried both methods, and both methods are not working. 

Can someone please assist with this?

Thanks!

I don't see any reason why Method 1 wouldn't work - your code looks sound. So, basic troubleshooting - are you sure your 'if' statement is evaluating to true? That is, is the value of u_is_discontinued 'yes' or might it 'Yes' or '1' or 'true'? You've probably already checked that, but that would be my first step.

@Ron Legters - Thanks for your response! I checked all values and everything is there. The Embedded List is still displaying

OK - I still want to know if your 'if' statement is evaluating to 'true'. Have you tried putting an info message of some kind in there, just to be sure you're getting into that block? It's kind of clumsy, I know, but I find it really helpful. something like:

var isDiscontinued = g_form.getValue('u_is_discontinued');
	if (isDiscontinued == 'yes') {
      g_form.addInfoMessage('in the if');
		g_form.hideRelatedList("REL:ced561fe1b6edd94e0b2feeccd4bedc5");
	}

Is your embedded list name correct? - Product Type?

Also are you trying it on Service Portal?
