Newvalue and oldvalue in onsubmit Client script

Anburaj · ‎07-21-2017

I have requirement like in change request , while change manager is approving the change request

if proposed start date or proposed end date is changed that time, i need to throw a error message.

I need to do this scenario in onsubmit client script.

I got the proper query, but these proposed date change am having the problem.

using get value i got the proposed start date or proposed end date in a variable.

But in need to set new value of proposed start date != old value of proposed start date

or newvalue of proposed end date != old value of proposed end date.

How to achieve this in client script onsubmit?

Please help.

Hi Anburaj,

Good Day!

function onSubmit() {

var approver = g_form.getValue('approver');

if(approver != ''){
validateTravelEndDate();

return false;
}

else{

return true;

}

//Helper function which calls a AJAX script include called "ClientDateTimeUtils" which gives the response in a callback where i am deciding whether to submit the form or not based on the status of days result.

function validateTravelEndDate() {
var startDate = g_form.getValue('proposed_start_date'); //First Date/Time field
var endDate = g_form.getValue('proposed_end_date'); //Second Date/Time field
var dttype = 'day'; //this can be day, hour, minute, second. By default it will return seconds.

var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); // This is the script include which can be used for date validation.
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getDateTimeDiff');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', startDate);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_sdt', endDate);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype', dttype);
ajax.getXML(checkDateDiff);
}

// callback function where deciding to go ahead or not with form submission.
function checkDateDiff(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
if (answer <= 0) {
alert("Proposed End date must be after Proposed Start date.");
g_form.setValue('proposed_end_date', '');
g_form.showFieldMsg('proposed_end_date', 'Please provide a future date', 'error');
return false;
} else {
g_form.submit(); // This has some issue as it's going in the infinite loop and if we just return true/false from here as it's asynchronous call , it's not handled by the onSubmit function
}
}

PS: hit correct/helpful....if it helps

Thanks,

Priyanka R

I created as per your code..

but still i have problem...

function date(){

var startDate = g_form.getValue('start_date'); //First Date/Time field

var endDate = g_form.getValue('end_date'); //Second Date/Time field

var dttype = 'day'; //this can be day, hour, minute, second. By default it will return seconds.

var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); // This is the script include which can be used for date validation.

ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getDateTimeDiff');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt',startDate);

ajax.addParam('sysparm_sdt',endDate);

ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype', dttype)

ajax.getXML(checkDateDiff);

}

function checkDateDiff(response) {

var str_changeType = g_form.getValue('type');

var conflict = g_form.getValue('conflict_status');

var actionName = g_form.getActionName();

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

if (answer <= 0) {

if(actionName == 'approve_button'){

if(str_changeType == 'Normal'|| str_changeType == 'Expedited'){

if(conflict == 'Conflict'){

alert('Your change request has triggered a conflict condition');

if (answer == false){

return false;

}

else{

return true;

}
