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;

}
}
}

You need to nest the g_form.setMandatory() call inside your if statement. Currently it is outside of it so it will always be mandatory no matter if your conditions are true/false.

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('score_range') == '' &&
            g_form.getValue('is_the_enhancement_feasible') == 'Yes' ||
            g_form.getValue('is_the_enhancement_feasible') == ' '); {
            g_form.setMandatory('score_range', true);

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

Than you for the responce!

This still sets the field to mandatory if I select no for is_the_enhancement_feasible.

I have made few correction to you script. For ex g_form.getValue('score_range') should be g_form.getValue('variables.score_range'). Can you try below script? If variables.score_range doesnt work, another option is using Display Business Rule to get values of this variables in scratchpad and then use in the onSubmit script.

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');{
g_form.setMandatory('variables.score_range', true);
alert('Please complete feasibility and fill request sizing before closing the task.');
return false;
}
}
}

Thank you.

I made the changes, but still when I select no for the is_the_enhancement_feasible, the field scope.range is still made mandatory.
