Can someone help me with my onsubmit client script , it is not working properly in an order guide it is still submitting after the attachment validation is false.
Code below:
function onSubmit() {
var appSysId = g_form.getValue('adt_application_name'); // 'adt_application_name' is the field ID
if (!appSysId) {
g_form.addErrorMessage('Application Sys ID is required.');
return false; // Prevent form submission if appSysId is empty
}
alert("Application Sys ID: " + appSysId);
var ga = new GlideAjax('global.AttachmentRequiredHelper');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getAttachmentRequired');
ga.addParam('appSysId', appSysId);
ga.getXMLAnswer(handleAttachmentRequiredResponse);
// Always prevent form submission initially
return false;
// This function handles the attachment-required response
function handleAttachmentRequiredResponse(response) {
try {
if (!response) {
alert('Error: No response from GlideAjax');
return;
}
var attachmentRequired = response.trim(); // Make sure there are no leading/trailing spaces
alert("Attachment Required Response: " + attachmentRequired);
if (attachmentRequired === 'true') {
alert('Attachment is required, checking for attachments...');
checkAttachments(g_form.getUniqueValue()); // Check for attachments if required
} else {
alert('Attachment is not required, submitting form...');
g_form.submit(); // Submit form if no attachment is required
}
} catch (e) {
alert('Error in handling the GlideAjax response: ' + e.message);
}
}
// This function checks for attachments
function checkAttachments(tableSysId) {
var gaAttachment = new GlideAjax('global.AttachmentRequiredHelper');
gaAttachment.addParam('sysparm_name', 'hasAttachments');
gaAttachment.addParam('tableSysId', tableSysId);
gaAttachment.getXMLAnswer(handleAttachmentsResponse);
}
// This function handles the response to check for attachments
function handleAttachmentsResponse(response) {
try {
if (!response) {
alert('Error: No response from GlideAjax');
return;
}
var hasAttachments = response.trim(); // Remove extra whitespace
alert("Has Attachments Response: " + hasAttachments);
if (hasAttachments == 'false') {
alert('No attachments found, preventing form submission...');
g_form.addErrorMessage('Attachment is required because "Attachment Required" is set to True for the selected app.');
// Prevent form submission by returning false
return false;
} else {
alert('Attachments found, submitting form...');
g_form.submit(); // Submit the form if attachments are found
}
} catch (e) {
alert('Error in handling the GlideAjax response: ' + e.message);
}
}
}
note that getxmlwait is not supported in portal.
