How to make a warning popup upon clicking a UI button?

[mitzaka]

Hi SNC,

I have a UI button which refers to a certain action (example: Reject) and I want when someone clicks this UI button, that he receives a message to fill a field before anything else happens. I know I could do a UI policy where I can make the field mandatory, but if I make it mandatory I have to use a condition based on state and I don't want to do this because in this state I have another UI buttons on the form like Approve, Publish, etc.

Is there a way I can say that the field will become mandatory only when a specific button is pressed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dimitar,

Upon clicking the UI Action button, you can set a Flag field value to true.

This Flag field need to be on the form, but you can hide this field unconditionally using a UI Policy.

Now using another UI Policy you can set any other field Mandatory on the basis of your Flag field turning True.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Subhajit

Hi Dimitar,

I suggest you can write a On Submit client script like

var ex = g_form.getActionName();

if(ex == 'Reject'){

g_form.setMandatory('field',true);

}

Let me know if you have any question.

Hi Dimitar,

You can refer to the second script in this guru link, I guess this is what you are looking for:-
