How to imitate mandatory like behavior on a field in UI Action

[ican]

Use Case:

I want to implement the mandatory behavior wherein after clicking the UI Action, after certain check if true it will highlight the field with red and sets the focus on that field.

I have tried:

if(condition == true) {
   var field = g_form.getControl('field');
   field.focus;
   field.style.border = '1px solid red';
   g_from.addErrorMessage('Error Message');
}

the field.focus will trigger the blue highlight on the field and it will be mixed with my field.style.border which is 1px solid red.

How to highlight it red and sets focus on that field.

Thanks.

Hi @ican 

There was a typo error in your script.

You can create onClick() UI action and put below code under this -

function onClick(){
   var field = g_form.getControl('short_description');
   field.focus;
   field.style.border = '1px solid red';
   g_form.addErrorMessage('Error Message'); // typo g_from corrected to g_form
}

Output:

Hope this help you.
