Make entry in related list mandatory

LG2 · ‎01-27-2015

Hi,

We have a simple ttue/false field in our change form - u_relate_to_project - default is false

On submit, If this field is true, I need to check to make sure that there is at least one entry in the project>parent related list (which we also display on the change form related lists), if not then the user will get a notice to say they have to complete the project details.

Any suggestions please?

thanks

We are using Dublin Patch 7 and Project Management v3

Hi LG,

Here is the code.

Onsubmit script

________________

function onSubmit() {

var istrue = g_form.getValue('u_relate_to_project');

if(istrue == 'true')

{

var curSysid = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var ga = new GlideAjax('check_projects_exists');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name','isProjectExist');

ga.addParam('sysparm_currentsysid', curSysid);

ga.getXMLWait();

var answer = ga.getAnswer();

if(answer == 'Not Exist')

{

alert('Please select one project');

return false;

}

__________________________________

Includescript

Name : check_projects_exists

Active : true

Client callable : true

Script:

var check_projects_exists = Class.create();

check_projects_exists.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor,

isProjectExist: function()

{

var answer ='';

var cursysid = this.getParameter('sysparm_currentsysid');

gs.log('cursysid :'+cursysid);

var gr = new GlideRecord('task');

gr.addQuery('parent', cursysid);

gr.query();

if(!gr.next())

{

answer = "Not Exist";

}

else

{

answer = "Exist";

}

return answer;

}

});

Write a on Submit client script to query for the related list table to see if any entries are present related to the change.

If no entries exist, alert user and stop the form from saving by using "return false;"

thanks.. it's actually the script bit i'm struggling with, sorry.

If you can share the related list name and script you are working, i can be of further assistance

Thanks (sorry for the delay)

the related list is the project>parent list - where the change is the parent (Links to pm_project.parent)
