Set field value true if the caller field has a particular person

[Community Alums]

On an interaction, I have a field name 'u_external_user'. It is a checkbox (True/False).

I want to toggle this field True if the Opened for field 'opened_for' is a user named External User. I believe a client script will be the best way to do this but need advice on this and code if anyone can help.

In the UI Policy, would I use a script to set the toggle to true?

No. 

In UI policy action, use that field and make mandatory.

Hi @Community Alums 

Sorry for confusion. I thought you want to make field mandatory but you want to set the value as True , so in this case client script is best option.

You can check the script shared by @Anurag Tripathi  and do this on client script onload.

if(g_form.getValue("opened_for") == "sys id of the external user)

{

g_form.setValue("<external_user_checkbox" , true);

}

else

{

g_form.setValue("<external_user_checkbox" , false);

}
