if (logged in user is ammber of group ='abc') {

g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true); //cab required field is a checkbox field
 var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');

what i did is i created one group and have assigned one role to that grp....so once user logged in users with that role only should be able to edit that field

note: 1- onload client script is on change_request table

so how to get current logged in user also how to get the role of that user.

eg: 

function onLoad() {

if (g_user.hasRole('role_name') && g_user.hasRole('admin')) {

g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true);
var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');
if (field == true) {
g_form.setValue('u_type', 'u_normal', 'Normal');
}
}

}

thanks

Hi,

Use g_user.hasRoleExactly instead of hasRole, because hasRole will return true if the user has admin role.

I suggest you create a Display BR and in that add your code.

if (gs.hasRole('role_name') && gs.hasRole('admin')) {
g_scratchpad.display=1;
else {
g_scratchpad.display=0;
}

Then write a onload client script, and in that check like this.

var display = g_scratchpad.display;
if(display==1) {
 g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true); 
 var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');
 if (field == true) {
  g_form.setValue('u_type', 'u_normal', 'Normal');
 }
} else {
 g_form.setMandatory('cab_required',false);
 g_form.setVisible('cab_required', false); 
}

hi asif

BR is working fine client script is not working properly....kindly check the below script:

function onLoad() {

//***********modified code************//

var display = g_scratchpad.display;
if (display == 1) {
g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true);
var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');
if (field == true) { //is the syntax is proper
g_form.setValue('u_type', 'u_normal', 'Normal');
}
} else {
g_form.setMandatory('cab_required', false);
g_form.setVisible('cab_required', false);
}
}

Hi,

Check the output and let me know what is it showing.

function onLoad() {
  var display = g_scratchpad.display;
  alert(display);
  if (display == 1) {
    alert("if1");
    g_form.setDisplay('cab_required', true);
    var field = g_form.getValue('cab_required');
    alert(field);
    if (field == true) { //is the syntax is proper
       
      g_form.setValue('u_type', 'u_normal', 'Normal');
    }
  } else {
    alert("else");
    g_form.setMandatory('cab_required', false);
    g_form.setVisible('cab_required', false);
  }
}
