Prevent update via UI action

[MarkNow]

Hi, I'm trying to prevent incident submissions with short descriptions (less than 10 characters) using a UI Action script. I've created the script to show an error message and prevent submission, but it's not working as intended. When I click Submit, the incident still opens even if the description is too short.

I've tried using a Client Script, and that works correctly. Is there a way to achieve this using a UI Action?

Additionally, I'd like to add two empty lines after the error message within the same frame. Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi @MarkNow ,

Can you share the UI Action scrript here???

you must use return false; if u r validation is in client side or use current.setAbortAction(true); if its in the Server side logic.

function onSubmit() {

    var field = g_form.getValue('short_description');

    if (short_description.length < 10) {

        g_form.showFieldMsg('short_description', 'The title is too short (less than 10 characters).'

        g_form.showFieldMsg('short_description', 'Please complete', 'error');

    }

    return false; // Prevent submission

}

Hi @MarkNow ,

There are erros in your code, here is the working code.

1)line number 2 - short_description.length < 10) --> this should be field.length<10

2)Line number 3 bracker is not closed

3)Return false is outside of the if block.

Here is the working code.

function onSubmit() {
    var field = g_form.getValue('short_description');
    if (field.length < 10) {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('short_description', 'The title is too short (less than 10 characters).');
        g_form.showFieldMsg('short_description', 'Please complete', 'error');
        return false; // Prevent submission
    }
}

Hope this helps!!!
