That's possible to use g_form.showFieldMsg for multiple fields at the same time?

Hello guys,

That's possible to use g_form.showFieldMsg for multiple fields at the same time without having to repeat the script?

For example, I need to display an error message in the following fields: Category, Configuration Item, Assignment Group and Short description.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You'd have to use the script in a loop such as:

var fields = ["field1","field2","field3"];
for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
g_form.showFieldMsg(fields[i], "message", 'error');
}

Example:

Thanks a lot, Allen! That's worked well!

Hi, either repeat the script or make an array of field names then loop through it setting the field msg to true, along the lines of

var arr = ["category", "cmdb_ci", "assignment_group", "short_description"];
var arr1 = ["msg for category", "msg for ci", "msg for assig group", "msg for short desc"];

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
g_form.showFieldMsg(arr[i], arr1[i]);
}

Stupid script but its just an idea, as currently there isnt any mass showFieldMsg APIs from ServiceNow.

Great idea too! Thanks for your help!
