Using this UI action that is calling a script include, I am trying to check if a variable on the RITM is populated. If it's empty I want to show an error message. Unfortunately I am having trouble preventing the submission if the conditions are not met
if (current.variables.request_type != ''){
var apiUtils = new ServiceRequestAPI(); //POST service request information
var workOrder = apiUtils.generateWorkOrder(); //Call script include that contains POST message
var request_type = current.variables.request_type;
current.state = 2; //set the state to in progress
current.watch_list = current.variables.trimark_csr; //add the user selected to the watchlist
current.comments = ' WO Requested';
gs.addInfoMessage(' WO Requested');
current.update();
action.setRedirectURL(current);
} else {
gs.addErrorMessage('The following mandatory fields are not filled in: Resolution);
return false;
