Hi Community,
I have been asked to configure the fields that represent project and demand names so users would be restricted to setup names longer than 40 characters.
The field is short_description and it's a shared field from the extended tables (task for demand and planned_task for project) which means I cannot update the dictionary record.
I have created a Client Script and a Business Rule to try and drive the behaviour, however I am struggling to enforce it when I create the project from a template (link: To create project from a template click here.)
The Client Script (onChange) is as following (it's similar for Demand and for Project)
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
if (newValue.length > 40) {
alert(getMessage('Project name must be 40 characters or less.'));
// Reset the field value to the previous value
g_form.setValue('short_description', oldValue);
}
}
The Business Rule (before insert) is as following (only for Project)
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
// check if Project name exceeds 40 characters
if (current.short_description.length > 40) {
current.setAbortAction (true);
gs.addErrorMessage('Project name must be 40 characters or less');
}
})(current, previous);
What am I missing and what do I need to do to make this work?
Thank you.
Paula
