Please validate the backend name of your choices inside dictionary of 'text' field. I am assuming Yes as true and no as false. Below is the script:

function onChangeText() {
    var output = g_form.getValue('text');
    if (output == 'true') {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Error message: You selected "Yes" for the text field.');
    } else {
        g_form.clearMessages(); // Clear any existing error messages
    }
}

Please Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Hi @Naresh43 ,

if your field is yes/no then the backend value is specify a value of 0 (false) or 1 (true). So if it is on onchange client script  on the same variable you can directly use newValue to get the value of selected variable. other than you can try the following code:

var output = newValue

   if(output=='true' || output== 1 )

{ 

g_form.addInfoMessage("This is true");

}

else

{

    g_form.addErrorMessage('error message)');

   }

Hi @Naresh43 ,

Please clear the variable value after the addinfomessage.

var output = g_form.getValue('text');

   if(output=='YES'){

    g_form.addErrorMessage('error message)');

g_from.clearValue('text');

   }

if that variable is mandatory and empty, then it wont allow to submit the form.

Hi @Naresh43 

As per your script, it will display only error message. But, if you want to restrict form submission then write On submit client script.

var output = g_form.getValue('text');

   if(output=='yes'){

    g_form.addErrorMessage('error message');

    return false;

   }
