[sainath3]

function onCellEdit(sysIDs, table, oldValues, newValue, callback) {
var saveAndClose = true;
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if(newValue != 'abc'){

alert('allowed');

saveAndClose = false;

} else {

g_form.setValue('u_state_child','sai');
saveAndClose = true;

return;
}

callback(saveAndClose);
}

The thing about working in list view is the column/field values present are all server values. Unlike a form where the values exist on the client and then are submitted, these list cells are edited one at a time and only briefly exist on the client, so they wouldn't be set in the same way.

Several people in this community thread suggested using a business rule instead, or if you'd like to stick to your client script you could potentially make a GlideAjax call as suggested here. The value would have to be changed server side.

Hope this helps!
