UI Action used for the form button "Close Task"

Cupcake

Hi there is a UI action for the Close Task button, the script is set to mark the task Closed Complete upon clicking that button, but I want the task to mark based on the state; therefore IF the state = Closed Complete then when you click the Close Task button the functionality should mark the task as Closed Complete and IF the state = Closed Incomplete then when the Close task button is clicked the functionality should mark the task as Closed Incomplete.

I am having some difficulty in making that happen.

function closeTask(){

      if(g_form.getValue('assigned_to') == '') {

          //Remove any existing field message, set comments mandatory, and show a new field message

          g_form.setMandatory('assigned_to', true);

          g_form.showFieldMsg('assigned_to','Assigned to is mandatory when closing the task.','error');

          return false;   //Abort submission

    }

      g_form.setValue('state', '3');

    //Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function

    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'close_Task'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action

}

//Code that runs without 'onclick'

//Ensure call to server-side function with no browser errors

if(typeof window == 'undefined')

    serverReopen();

function serverReopen(){

    //Set the 'State' to 'Active', update and reload the record

   

    current.update();

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

Thanks,

Karen

You should be able to say:



function closeTask(){


        var state = g_form.getValue('state');


      if(g_form.getValue('assigned_to') == '') {


          //Remove any existing field message, set comments mandatory, and show a new field message


          g_form.setMandatory('assigned_to', true);


          g_form.showFieldMsg('assigned_to','Assigned to is mandatory when closing the task.','error');


          return false;   //Abort submission


    }



if(state == 4) // or whatever your closed incomplete value is


      g_form.setValue('state', state);


else


      g_form.setValue('state', '3');



    //Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function


    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'close_Task'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action


}
