Hi Experts,

 

I have a requirement where I need to restrict the users by adding multiple users using the list.

As you can see in the screenshot, here I can add n numbers of users. Can we restrict this to add only 2 users?

If yes, then please reply with a solution.

 

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Amol

Hi @Amol Pawar ,
You can use script below in onchange client script:

var variablename = 'variable name here';


var mylist = g_form.getValue(variablename).split(',');


var maxitem = 2;


       


       if (mylist.length>maxitem){


               var mynewlist = [];


               for (var i = 0;i<maxitem;i++)


               {


                       mynewlist.push(mylist[i]);


               }


               g_form.setValue(variablename,mylist[i]);


               g_form.showFieldMsg(variablename,'Only 2 items can be entered','error');


       }


}
Please mark my response correct/helpful as applicable!
Thanks and Regards,

Hi @Amol Pawar,

 

Updated scripts:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
	if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
		return;
	}

	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	var add_secondary_spocc = 'add_secondary_spocc';
	var mylist = g_form.getValue(add_secondary_spocc).toString().split(',');
	var maxitem = 2;

	if (mylist.length > maxitem) {
		var mynewlist = [];
		for (var i = 0; i < maxitem; i++) {
			mynewlist.push(mylist[i]);
		}
	}

	g_form.setValue(add_secondary_spocc, mylist);
	g_form.addErrorMessage('You can add only two secondary SPOCs');

}

Hi @Sagar Pagar ,

A small change in last few lines and it worked 😊

 

}

g_form.setValue(add_secondary_spocc, mynewlist);
g_form.addErrorMessage('You can add only two secondary SPOCs');
}
}

 

Thank you so much!

Amol.

Hi @Amol Pawar,

 

Yes. it should be your mynewlist array. as it contains only 1st two selected users.
