Skip UI policy of mandatory fields validation

[nsfmab]

Hi,

Is there any way I can skip the UI policy of mandatory fields validation for certain UI action? The problem I'm facing now is, when the state changes back to draft (UI action: Reset to Draft), the mandatory fields validation should not take place at all. 

I was thinking if I can use BR before rule to skip the UI policy for this specific condition ie. state changes to draft, but I have no idea how should I write it in script.

Appreciate your help. Thanks!

As a cheat you can name your UI Action "action name" to sysverb_cancel. This allows the saving of the form and ignore mandatory fields.

Chuck covered this in his UI Action video found below

You can try below code on UI action. It will work.

function callClientScript() {
    //Client Script
    var arr = g_form.getMissingFields();
    for (var x = 0; x < arr.length; x++) {
        g_form.setMandatory(arr[x], false);
        alert("Following fields are set Non Mandatory: " + arr[x]);
    }
    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'update_to_p1'); // UI action name
}

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

function serverScript() {
    // Server Script
    current.update();
    action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

Please mark answer helpful if it helped.
