Trigger script when the tab is clicked in a form

[Aditya Prasad]

Hello Everyone, 

I have added a new section(tab) in Incident form. This section has a ui macro which loads more information by making REST api calls on load event(ui macro onload javascript). 

The sections are loaded as soon as the incident form is loaded. 

My requirement is, I want to call these APIs only when user clicks on this section.

So is there any script which I can run when the tab becomes active?

Thanks

Using DOM it might be possible but it's not recommended.

You can have some checkbox within the UI macro and based on that when it's checked the API calls will run and show the data.
