List Control condition scripts

[lmbaxter]

Hi,

I am modifying a list control and within my Omit New Script, I want the list of the new roles that are currently set for the list control.

I want to avoid making a trip to the server to query the table just to get the value of the field when I am already in the form.

Is there a way to get the value of list controls new_roles field so I can use the values in my script in the Omit New condition field?

I have tried g_form, current, gs and countless other things.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi,

Can you share what logic you intend to write in the Omit New condition field?

I'm thinking you want to write a script (for Omit New condition) that checks the 'New Roles' for the current List Control before the page is generated?

So you're looking to write (effectively) a server side script to hide the 'new' button before the list is displayed?

So there will not be a g_form because it's server side, there won't be a current because you're not working on a record, and you won't be making a trip to the server, because your script will be running on the server.

... and that then begs the question of why you're writing a script to check at run time the value of the New Roles field, which is effectively static at runtime?

Thanks for the information. I have decided to use another approach.

To answer your last question, the way we are set up there is another variable in play in regards to the role, so I was wanting a way to get to the roles so that I could use them to loop through to make an additional check.

Thanks again.
