On Change Catalog client script not working

[kartikey]

Hi Everyone,

i've created an OnChange client script on a variable set, the script should return false if the age (through DOB is more than 21 )and should not allow the submission of the record producer, but return false; is not working.

the script throws alert if age is more than 21 , but it still submits the form, i want to prevent form submission.

var dob = g_form.getValue('date_of_birth');

  // alert(dob);

   var ga=new GlideAjax('CallerDeatils');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getAge');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_dob',dob);

    ga.getXML(callBackFunction);

    function callBackFunction(response){

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

// alert(answer);

if(answer>21){

    alert(" example alert");

    //g_form.clearValue('date_of_birth');

    return false;

}

}

if i use g_form.clearValue('date_of_birth');

it works but if i select 'add'  after manually typing the date,

it throws the error but takes in the value under the variable set.

any support would be much appreciated.

Hi @kartikey 

You will have to abort the form submission, while te async function runs, and trigger form submission again after it has validated correctly.

var dob = g_form.getValue('date_of_birth');
if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid)
	return true;

var ga=new GlideAjax('CallerDeatils');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getAge');
ga.addParam('sysparm_dob',dob);
ga.getXML(callBackFunction);
//then return false to halt submission (for now)
return false;

function callBackFunction(response){
	var answer=response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
// alert(answer);
if(answer>21){
alert(" example alert");
//g_form.clearValue('date_of_birth');
return false;
}
	   var actionName = g_form.getActionName();
	g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;
	g_form.submit(actionName);
}

Hi Peter,

Hi @Peter Bodelier ,

it does work with onSumit to stop the submission of the form BUT only if greater than 21 age it submitted first via the variable set 

but if i input less than 21 i.e. test 2 record submitted first, it does not work
iterating only once on OnSubmit script

function onSubmit() {

    if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid)

    return true;

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var multiRowVariableSet = JSON.parse(g_form.getValue('dependants_please_include_all_information_required'));

for(var i = 0 ; i < multiRowVariableSet.length ; i ++){

    //alert(multiRowVariableSet[i].date_of_birth);

  var dob = multiRowVariableSet[i].date_of_birth;

  alert(dob);

   var ga=new GlideAjax('CallerDeatils');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getAge');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_dob',dob);

    ga.getXML(callBackFunction);

    return false;

        function callBackFunction(response){

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

        if(answer > 21){

            g_form.addErrorMessage('test');

            return false;

    }

    var actionName = g_form.getActionName();

    g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;

    g_form.submit(actionName);

    }

}

}

Hi @kartikey 

I'll try to rebuild your exact use case, and will get back to you.
