How to set up the duration of info message once so that we dont have to write time out at each time

[ChanchalG]

We have a requirement where they want to automatically close info message(g_form.addInfoMessage) after 30 sec. In order to do that i have to find and write time out to each info message in system. 

I am looking for is there anyway we can define it globally at some place so where ever the info message is written it will take 30 sec to  time out only?

I don't think you can define it globally, but you will have to use script and give timeout

// Display the info message
g_form.addInfoMessage('This is my info message');

// Clear the info message after 30 seconds
setTimeout(function() {
g_form.clearMessages();
}, 30000); // 30000 milliseconds = 30 seconds

Yes, you can create a client script that automatically detects and closes all info messages after 30 seconds without modifying each individual message. Here's the most effective approach:

function onLoad() {
    // Override addInfoMessage to mark auto-close messages
    var originalAddInfoMessage = g_form.addInfoMessage;
    g_form.addInfoMessage = function(message, persist) {
        var msgElement = originalAddInfoMessage.call(this, message, persist);
        if (!persist) {
            msgElement.dataset.autoclose = 'true';
        }
        return msgElement;
    };

    // Check for messages every second
    setInterval(function() {
        var messages = document.querySelectorAll('[data-autoclose="true"]');
        messages.forEach(function(msg) {
            if (!msg.dataset.closeTime) {
                msg.dataset.closeTime = Date.now() + 30000;
            } else if (Date.now() > parseInt(msg.dataset.closeTime)) {
                $(msg).fadeOut(500, function() {
                    $(this).remove();
                });
            }
        });
    }, 1000);
}
