Set Mandatory on UI action script for creating task from request related table

[Are Kaveri]

Hi,

I am working on Request form,

on my Request form i have a UI action called Create Task.

when i click on Create Task , The Task record gets created under Request task related list.

we have a Date field , which is mandatory to be filled before creating task.

Before Clicking on Create Task The below Requestor Task created date should be mandatory.

The task can be multiple for a Request. 

There is this below condition:

The Requestor Task Created Date must not be blank after Task creation.

if it is blank then throw below error.

The below is the script:

function createTaskClient() {

    if (!confirm('Do you really want to create an Task record?')) {
        return false;
    }

    /
    g_form.setMandatory('u_requestor_task_created_date', true);
     if (g_form.getValue('u_requestor_task_created_date') == '') {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('u_requestor_task_created_date', 'Requestor task Created Date is required in order to create task ', 'error');
        return false;

    } 


    // Call server side logic
    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'create_task');
}


if (typeof window == 'undefined')
    createtask();

function createtask() {

    var grtask= new GlideRecord('sn_request_task');
    grtask.u_request_id = current.getUniqueValue();

    grtask.insert();

   
    action.setRedirectURL(grtask);

    gs.addInfoMessage("task record " + grtask.number + " is created.");
}

The mandatory part was failing.

Please help me if anyone gets any thing wrong in the script.

Hi @Are Kaveri ,

Client script code does not work here as you are creating task via script. You can create a data policy for same and make mandatory for create.

@Runjay Patel  Thanks for the response.

it is client callable UI action.

Will my mandatory validation will not work here?

Can't i use this UI action for the same?

why Data policy why not UI policy?

On Data policy how can i script for error message if the field is blank?
