How to look for field name in a client script

[DevtoSME]

Im trying to write an array to include two field names for the requested items table. 

do i use the control object or how do i write this into my script. my original client script works but the field is different in another environment. please help. still on my coding journey so any help would be appreciated.

Hi Joyea,

I tried in my PDI and used:

var fieldNames = ['incident.requested_for', 'incident.severity'];

as my client script is defined on the incident table. Seems 'control' is table_name.field_name.

Hi @DevtoSME ,

Here is an updated script-

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    // The array of field names to check
    var fieldNames = ['requested_for', 'request'];

    // Check if the control's name is one of the field names
    if (fieldNames.includes(control.name)) {
        // Check if the new value is empty
        if (newValue === '') {
            g_form.hideFieldMsg(control.name);
            return;
        }

        // Get the caller's reference
        g_form.getReference(control.name, function(userGR) {
            if (userGR) {
                // Access the user's grade of service
                var userGradesOfService = userGR.u_grade_of_service;
                if (userGradesOfService == "elite") {
                    g_form.showFieldMsg(control.name, 'This user is Elite', 'error');
                } else {
                    g_form.hideFieldMsg(control.name);
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

I suggest add

alert('control.name = ' + control.name);

as the first line in your client script, and test.

And why are you checking for field name in the code?  onChange client scripts use a table and field name.
