@Naresh43 

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

@Naresh43 Could you please try the following and see if it works.

var output = g_form.getValue('guest_user_already_has_ferrero_guest_account_please_use_the_box_to_check_it');
   if(output=='true'){
    g_form.addErrorMessage('A new account is not needed.(probably the guest user manager must be updated)');
   }

Hope this helps.

hi @Sandeep Rajput 

Its not working like after giving yes option also form submitted.

i dont know what cause the isuue.

@Naresh43 Please update the script as follows.

var output = g_form.getValue('guest_user_already_has_ferrero_guest_account_please_use_the_box_to_check_it');
alert(output);
   if(output=='true'){
    g_form.addErrorMessage('A new account is not needed.(probably the guest user manager must be updated)');
   }

See which text shows up in alert and update the if condition accordingly.

@Naresh43 I am assuming you are using these lines inside an onSubmit script and you would like to stop the form submission if the value is yes.

In this case simply return false and the form submission would stop.

e.g.

var output = g_form.getValue('text');
   if(output=='yes'||output=='YES')){
    g_form.addErrorMessage('error message');
    return false;
   }
