How to show an alert message on the form if user clicked on a button?

[Devi12]

Hi,

I have requirement to show an alert message on the form, if user clicks on a button. In "sn_vul_vulnerable_item" form I need to make the "Assigned to" field as mandatory when user clicks on a button "Request exception". I made it using onSubmit client script, but it is working only when user clicked on save or update button. I need to make the "Assigned to" as mandatory if user clicks on "Request exception". How can I do that?

Below are the attachments:

Currently I made Assigned to field as mandatory using dictionary override. This is also not working.

Hi Uday,

Thanks for the reply.

I already have the OOTB UI action named "Request Exception". In that UI action script I have added your script, not working.

No, I didn't get any alert message while clicking on "request exception" button

Hi @Devi12  How are you ?

Your requirement can be fulfilled by using UI Actions. First create a UI Action by giving table name and in the script paste the script i am pasting here.

function mandatory() {
	alert("You Clicked the Button");
g_form.setMandatory('assigned_to',true);
}

What i did was when the user clicks on the button it gives an alert and then it makes the assigned_to field mandatory.

My output:

Initially my assigned to field is not mandatory.

After clicking the button it gives an alert and then it makes the field mandatory.

My assigned to field label is implementer in the screenshot.

If my solution helps you please mark my Solution Accepted and Helpful.
