Hi Dell,

You can write the following code to check group membership

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi

what is the type of "u_type" field, I mean is it choice or string type any other

you can create one display business rule and get the group members and pass the g_scratchpad value into your onload client script it will return boolean values like true or false, 

Display BR

g_scratchpad.group = gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group) 

Client script

var grp = g_scratchpad.group

if (grp ='true') {

g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true); //cab required field is a checkbox field
 var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');
 if (field == true) {
 g_form.setValue('u_type', 'u_normal', 'Normal');// setValue method we will pass only two parameters one is filed backend value and one is setting value

 }

 }

please hit like if it helps you and close the thread accordingly

Hi,

group membership cannot be checked in client script; use display business rule on that table and use this

BR Script:

g_scratchpad.isMember = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('ABC');

Client Script:

function onLoad(){

if(g_scratchpad.isMember){

// show or hide fields you want

}

}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
