Mandatory fields are accepting spaces, without having to enter any character.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are doing good. 🙂

Mandatory fields are accepting spaces, without having to enter any character. I need a script for checking single or multiple space too. I took reference from community and tried a code but it is working for a single space. If user will add multiple spaces so this code won't work. The code is given below:

Wrote an onChange Client Script for the field 

if (g_form.getValue('u_recommended_ltf') == ' '){ 

alert("Please fill Analysis Output field ");

g_form.setValue('u_recommended_ltf', '');

}
 

Could you please help me out for this script. 

 Kind Regards,

Swati

Hi Swati, Good that you found the solution. By the way, I have updated my suggested coding and is working now. If u free, you can have a looks so that you have another alternative in future.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading){ //|| newValue === ''){
      return;
   }

	var regex = new RegExp("^(?!\s*$).");
   if(!regex.test(newValue)){
	   alert("Please fill Analysis Output field ");
   }
   
}

HI Swathi,

Key is whether it is just whitespace or double space alone that you would want to be  stopped?

I would recommend you  to have a comprehensive validation code to ensure only valid content is added to the mandatory field.

Some good to have validations

1)Content should not start with space/double space (use trim() to remove leading and trailing spaces)

2)Content should start with only alpha numerals. and so on.

Put all that patterns into a script include and can be reused anywhere , anytime.
