How to make field visible by using client script in Private Task form?

[Gunashekar]

I have created 3 new fields in Private Task form (tam category, tam sub category and effort in hours) and want them to be visible only to users in a group I have created (TAM Cat and Sub Cat). 

I want to achieve this using either UI policy or Client script, don't want to use ACL's.

I have created the below client script however it is not working as expected. Please help me if I am missing something.

function onLoad() {

//if(g_user.isMemberOf('TAM Cat and Sub Cat'))

//return;

g_form.addInfoMessage('Scratchpad : ' + g_scratchpad.isMember);

//if(g_user.isMemberOf('TAM Cat and Sub Cat') && answer < -60 )

if (g_scratchpad.isMember == true)

{

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',true);

g_form.setValue('u_tam_category','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_category',true);

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category',true);

g_form.setValue('u_tam_sub_category','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_sub_category',true);

g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours',true);

g_form.setValue('u_effort_in_hours','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_effort_in_hours',true);

}

else

{

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_category',false);

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_sub_category',false);

g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_effort_in_hours',false);

}

}

Hi @Gunashekar use client callable script include. script include should look like this

var getUser= Class.create();
getUser.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	getGroupMembership: function(){
		var user = gs.getUserID();
		var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
		gr.addQuery('group.name', 'group name');
                gr.addQuery('user', user);
                gr.query();
                return gr.hasNext();	
	},
	type: 'User'
});

Client Script :

function onLoad(){

var ga = new GlideAjax('getUser');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "getGroupMember");
ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){

if(answer.toString() == 'true'){
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category', true);
}
else{
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',false);
}
});
}

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable.

Hi @Sid_Takali 

I tried the above code, it is hiding the fields however it is not making the fields visible to the users in group 'TAM Cat and Subcat.

var getUser= Class.create();
getUser.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	getGroupMembership: function(){
		var user = gs.getUserID();
		var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
		gr.addQuery('group.name', 'TAM Cat and Sub Cat');
                gr.addQuery('user', user);
                gr.query();
                return gr.hasNext();	
	},
	type: 'getUser'
});

function onLoad(){
var ga = new GlideAjax('getUser');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "getGroupMember");
ga.getXML(DatParse);
function DatParse(response){
	var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
if(answer == 'true'){
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category', true);
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category', true);
g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours', true);
} else
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',false);
g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category', false);
g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours', false);
}
}
