Setting variable field to mandatory on submit.

[ronyates]

I am trying to set a variable field (variables.score_range) to mandatory if any of these three conditions are true. The script set the field to mandatory no matter the condition. Any help would be apricated. I don’t know what I am missing.  

Conditions:

1. If score.range is null
2. If the is_the_enhancement_feasible = yes
3. Or is_the_enhancement_feasible = null

function onSubmit() {
var task = g_form.getReference("request_item");
var cat_item = task.cat_item;
var state = g_form.getValue("state");
var actName = g_form.getActionName();
if(cat_item == 'SysID' && (state == '3' || actName == 'close_sc_task'))
{
//Set feasibility analysis fields to mandatory on close.

g_form.setMandatory('variables.score_range', true);
if(g_form.getValue('score_range') == '' &&
g_form.getValue('variables.is_the_enhancement_feasible') == 'Yes' ||
g_form.getValue('variables.is_the_enhancement_feasible') == ' ');{
alert('Please complete feasibility and fill request sizing before closing the task.');
return false;

}
}
}

Hi @ronyates 

There's a semicolon (;) at the line If Statement in your script. Let's use SanjivMeher script and remove it out, it should do the trick.

function onSubmit() {
    var task = g_form.getReference("request_item");
    var cat_item = task.cat_item;
    var state = g_form.getValue("state");
    var actName = g_form.getActionName();
    if (cat_item == 'SysID' && (state == '3' || actName == 'close_sc_task')) {
        //Set feasibility analysis fields to mandatory on close.
        if (g_form.getValue('variables.score_range') == '' && g_form.getValue('variables.is_the_enhancement_feasible') != 'No') { //remove semicolon at this line
            g_form.setMandatory('variables.score_range', true);
            alert('Please complete feasibility and fill request sizing before closing the task.');
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Cheers,

This is still not working. When I select No for is_the_enhancement_feasible, the field should not be made mandatory but it still is.

I have tried several different varaitions of the if condition and still get the same results. 

I added this:

function onSubmit() {
var task = g_form.getReference("request_item");
var cat_item = task.cat_item;
var state = g_form.getValue("state");
var actName = g_form.getActionName();
if (cat_item == 'SysID' && (state == '3' || actName == 'close_sc_task')) {

//Set feasibility analysis fields to mandatory on close.

  var feasibility = g_form.getValue('variables.is_the_enhancement_feasible');

        if (feasibility != 'No')

        {

            g_form.setMandatory('variables.score_range', true);

            alert('Please complete feasibility and fill request sizing before closing the task.');

            return false;

        }

    }

}

I found the secret sauce. Now it is working 

function onSubmit() {
    var task = g_form.getReference("request_item");
	var cat_item = task.cat_item;
	var state = g_form.getValue("state");
	var actName = g_form.getActionName();
		if(cat_item == 'SysID' && (state == '3' || actName == 'close_sc_task'))
{
	var feasibility = g_form.getValue('variables.is_the_enhancement_feasible');
	var project_checkbox = g_form.getBooleanValue("variables.project_checkbox");

//Set feasibility analysis fields to mandatory on close.
        if(feasibility != 2 && project_checkbox == false)
		{ 
            g_form.setMandatory('variables.score_range', true);
            alert('Please complete feasibility and fill request sizing before closing the task.');
            return false;
        }
    }
}
