Prevent UI action modal from closing

[Mike114]

I have a UI action with "Workspace Form Button" checkbox checked. In Workspace, I am able to click that button and enter data in a field. There two buttons: OK and Cancel. When hitting OK, I would like to do a field validation entered by a user. If the field has a certain value, I would like to throw an alert and prevent the modal from closing. Is this possible? Here is the code:
================================

function onClick(g_form) {

var fields = [{

type: 'string',

name: 'new_date',

label: getMessage('Enter new date:')

}

g_modal.showFields({

title: "Enter new date",

fields: fields,

size: 'md'

}).then(function(fieldValues){

if(fieldValues.updatedFields[0].value == '2023-05-19'){

    alert("Today's date is not allowed. Please enter another date");

    I would like to add something here that would prevent the modal from closing and stay on the modal form

}

else{

alert('Valid date has been entered');

}

}

• Prevent the UI action modal from closing by using the "onBeforeClose" client script.

• The client script can be used to check whether the form is valid or not and prevent the modal from closing.

• The script can also be used to set a flag to indicate whether the form is valid or not.

• The flag can then be used to determine whether the modal should be closed or not.

• The onBeforeClose client script can also be used to execute a function before the modal is closed.
