Onchange client script not working

[sunil maddheshi]

Hi guys

I have a simple onchange client script on description field on incident table

My requirement is if user input is "//H$\\DB_Backup" then it should be accepted else not accepted

Below is script but everytime getting not accepted even for exactly same value

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}

if (newValue == "//H$\\DB_Backup")
alert("accepted");
else
alert("not accepted");
}

The backslash (\) is an escape character, so in the script you need to escape each one, if that makes any sense.

if (newValue == "//H$\\\\DB_Backup")

Hi @sunil maddheshi,

Can you try updating the below scripts.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    newValue = newValue.trim();

    alert("Trimmed Value: " + newValue);

    if (newValue.includes("//") && newValue.includes("_")) {

        alert("Accepted");

    } else {

        alert("Not Accepted");

    }

}
