Setting g_form.setMandatory to false not working on client script (backend form and portal)

[kemmy1]

I have a client script that sets a field to mandatory (true) onLoad.

If the status is "Draft" I want this field to not be mandatory onSubmit:

function onSubmit() {
var getStatus = g_form.getValue('status');
if(getStatus == 'Draft'){
g_form.setMandatory('field', false);
// I've tried this as well: g_form.checkMandatory = false;
}

Am I doing something wrong?

You need to write an UI Policy to make it not mandatory when the status is draft. You can't do it in onSubmit

I'm sorry, I should have been a little more clear.  I'd like the fields to still "look" like they are mandatory, but if the status is Draft, upon submit, those fields are not mandatory.
