Restrict Choice List Options based on Group

Sam Ogden · ‎05-09-2018

Hi All,

We have a choice list field on the incident form of 'pending state' this has 5 options. We want to add a 6th option to the list but we only want our SM Release team to be able to select this option, how can we achieve this ?

Thanks

Sam

Hey Sam,

Good News for you. I worked on your code and was able to restrict the choice.

1. Add below code in UI HTML Page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<script>
addLoadEvent( function()
{
  onLoad();
});

</script>
	
<g:evaluate>
 var types = GlideScriptChoiceList.getChoiceList('incident', 'u_pending_type');
</g:evaluate>
	<style>
		.hide_this
		{
		display:none;
		}
	</style>
	
	<div style="padding-bottom: 10px;">
	<span style="float: left;padding-left: 10px;">Pending Type : </span>

		<select id="pendingType" style="margin-left: 20px;" onChange = "show_3rdparty_fields()">
			<j:forEach var="jvar_choice" items="${types}">                   
			   <option value="${jvar_choice.value}">${jvar_choice.label}</option>
			 </j:forEach>
		</select><br/> 
	<br/>
	<div class ="hide_this" id = 'partysupplier'>
	<span style="float: left;padding-left: 10px;">3rd Party Supplier : </span>
	<g:ui_reference name="supplier" id="supplier" table="core_company" query="manufacturer=true^ORvendor=true"/>
	</div>
	<br/>
	<div class='hide_this' id = 'partyreference'><span style="float: left;padding-left: 10px;">3rd Party Reference : </span>
	<input type = "text" id = 'pref' style ="padding-right: 5px; width: 55%;"/></div>
</div>

	<div style="padding-left: 10px;">
		<span>Additional Comments (Customer Visible)</span>
   <div>
			<textarea rows="4" cols="50" id="comments" style="margin-top: 5px;">
			</textarea>
	</div>
	</div>	
	<div style="padding-left: 10px;">
		
		<input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="return submit()" style="float:left;margin-right: 15px;"/>
		<input type="button" value="Cancel" onClick="return cancel()"/>
	</div>
</j:jelly>

2.Add below onLoad function into UI Page Client Script to restrict choice list options based on role.

function onLoad()
 {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	//Remove option of "Pending Release Baord" from anyone except Release Management
      var isRelMan = g_user.hasRole('release_admin');
      if (!isRelMan)
      {
       var opt=gel("pendingType");
       opt.options[6].disabled = true;
      }
      else
      {
        return;
      }
}



function submit()
{
	var pendingType = gel('pendingType').value;
	var comments = gel('comments').value;
	
	var thirdsupplier = $j('#supplier').val();
	var thirdreference = $j('#pref').val();
	if(pendingType != '' && comments.trim() != '')
		{
		g_form.setValue('u_pending_type',pendingType);
		g_form.setValue('comments',comments);
		g_form.setValue('incident.correlation_display',thirdsupplier);
		g_form.setValue('incident.correlation_id',thirdreference);
		gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'setpending');
	}
	else
		{
		alert('Please fill the details');
	}
}

function show_3rdparty_fields()
{
	var pending_type = $j("#pendingType option:selected").val();
	
	if(pending_type == 'Pending Other Party')
		{
		$j('#partysupplier').show();
		$j('#partyreference').show();
	}
	else{
		$j('#partysupplier').hide();
		$j('#partyreference').hide();
	}
	
}


function cancel()
{
	g_form.setValue('u_pending_type','');
	g_form.setValue('comments','');
	GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();
}

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi,

To hide and show option there is a method by name removeOption(). This method will hide options based on your condition.

Hi Shweta,

Thanks for the above. How would I best incorporate this? would it be best as an on load client script on the form to check if the user is a member of a certain group, if not then remove option?

Thanks

Sam

Yes, it is the best.
