Make Close Code mandatory when trying to cancel change task by clicking UI button.

[Shidhi]

Hi,

I'm trying to make close_notes mandatory(by default this field will be read only) when canceling a change task using a UI button which i have created as below:

Action Name: cancelRecord
Client checkbox: True
onClick: cancelTask();

function cancelTask() {
    if (g_form.getValue('close_notes' == '')) {
        g_form.setMandatory('close_notes', true);
        g_form.showFieldMsg('close_notes', 'Enter Close Notes', 'error');
        return false;
    } else {
        alert('Cancelling the task');
        gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'cancelRecord');
	
	}
}
        if (typeof window == 'undefined') {
            cancelTaskRecord();
        }
        function cancelTaskRecord() {
        current.state = '4';
        current.update();
        action.setRedirectURL(current);
        }
	
    

But I can't make close notes mandatory. The control always goes into the else block, and I'm able to cancel it, but I'm not getting an error to fill in the close notes.

Please help me.

Thank you!

I tested the changes I and @Sandeep Rajput proposed, and it works in my instance. Seems you need to disable the UI Policy.  What state is the change_task in when you click the UI Action?

Hi @Bert_c1 

State is in Assigned and it is working for Task Assignee i.e., the field is editable whereas for Change Initiator it is Read Only. Any idea why this behavior.

Thank you!

@Shidhi Could you please check if there are ACL applying on the field which is making it read only?

Hi @Sandeep Rajput 

I have been checking there are no ACLs.

Thank you!

@Sandeep Rajput ,

Created a new ACL and it is now working only for Admins but not for other users. Could you please suggest any approach.

Thank you!
