How to Script if State Changes in a Client Script

[Su522]

I have an onSubmit Client Script that I need to perform several validation checks on if the variables changed.

How can I script:

If State changes to In Progress

I'm unable to use an onChange Client Script for this scenerio.

Help is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,

I need to keep the OnSubmit Client Script, as a UI Action is affecting this. 

If the State changes, I need to have another validation and display a pop up window. 

I just need help on "If the State changes to a certain state"

Can you help?

Thank you

I tried the OnChange Client Script and it allows the pop up window to come up. But when I click "Yes" to confirm it takes me to a New Record and does not save the form changes on the record I was on.

I'm using GlideModel with this function.

            function onConfirm() {

                gFormAlreadySubmitted = true;

                gsftSubmit(undefined, undefined, g_form.getActionName());

Can you help?

You can write onchange client script on state field, Below is the sample code:

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

    // Check if the new state is "In Progress"
    if (newValue === '2') { // Assuming '2' represents "In Progress"
        // Perform validation checks
            // Display an error message
            alert('Validation failed. Please check your data.');
            // Revert the value to the old value
            g_form.setValue('state', oldValue);
        }
}
