Is there a way to know if form has been updated from client side? instead using current.operation() == 'update' ?

[guille]

Hello,

At the client scripts side is there a way to know if form has been updated ? instead using current.operation() == 'update' ? for example like UI policies when state changes set the worknotes as mandatory however this only works for a simple field, would like to know if there is a way for all form fields .

Hi Guille,

You could have a script like the following in an onSubmit client script

function onSubmit() {

  var field1 = g_form.getControl('caller_id');

  //See if the 'changed' attribute is true

  if(field1.changed){

    return confirm("The Caller field has changed.\nDo you really want to save this record?");

  }

}

Thanks,

Berny

Thanks, but maybe I did not explain well, I'm looking something not for an specific field, we need the entire form, we could   do this by using a BR and use the following clause:

current.operation() == 'update'

That will let Servicenow know that my form have been changed regardless the previously updated field, I'm not sure if it possible.

Ok. You can use...

if (g_form.modified){
       alert ("Something has changed");
}

Thanks,
