Issue with UI action with mandatory fields

[psyherin]

Hi All,

I am new to scripting and trying to get my head around with UI action script and making fields mandatory. I have built the script based on https://servicenowguru.com/system-ui/ui-actions-system-ui/client-server-code-ui-action/ . The script is performing field validation but it seems like if I update any one mandatory field with some data and click the button it moves ahead and updates the record. It should not submit the form until all the mandatory fields are updated.

Please advise what am i doing wrong with the below script:

function pending() {
    if ((g_form.getValue('category') == '') && (g_form.getValue('u_alignment') == '') && (g_form.getValue('u_overview') == '') && (g_form.getValue('u_solution') == '')) {
        g_form.setMandatory('category', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('u_alignment', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('u_overview', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('u_solution', true);
        return false; //Abort submission
    }
    //Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function
    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'pending_solution_approval'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action
}

//Code that runs without 'onclick'
//Ensure call to server-side function with no browser errors
if (typeof window == 'undefined')
    updateTask();

function updateTask() {
        current.state = '150'; 
        current.update();
        action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

Thank you

Hi,

you can check which field is not filled and then show the consolidated message

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

Can it not be dynamic ? or it has be static message ? 

	if(flag)
alert('Please update fields in category, alignment, overview & solution');
		return false; //Abort submission

Hi,

you can append the field name in every if statement since you know which field is missing

at the end show that combined message
