OnChange Client Script: Listen to Field from Reference

[ipt_Phil]

I want to call some Script Include in case the value of a field of a reference changes. However, in a Client Script I can only chose the fields of the current table and I cannot show related fields and chose fields of a reference to listen to. Strangely enough, I can listen to fields of a reference in a UI policy condition. However, I cannot get a UI policy to execute everytime the value changes. It will only change once. I think using a UI policy to achieve this would only be a work around anyway and doesn't feel like it's the right way to do this. I think an OnChange Client Script is exactly what I want for my case. Is there any good way I can solve my problem? Preferably I just want something like "Show Related Fields" for the OnChange Client Script (like I have it for a UI Policy condition).

You can use getReference() method.

Lets say if you want to use assignment group name in your client script. Then you can use "g_form.getReference('assignment_group').name".
But this you can use the fields of a reference.

If you are going to use this please follow the recommended use here.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately that's not what I meant. I'm talking about the field marked in yellow below. I want to execute some code when the user changes the value of the choice field "Sender.ChannelType". However there is no way to select a dotwalked field in this dropdown like it is in many other places. It only lets me select fields that are directly on the selected table itself:

Hi Philemon,

You cannot dot-waking to the field directly via fields. However you can do the validation by using getReference at the script level.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
