Unable to set value of checkbox using Catalog Client Script

[hetaldoctor]

Hi everyone

I am facing 2 issues

1. I am trying to set value of a checkbox using catalogclient script. But it is not working. I tried below options

g_form.setValue('x', true);

g_form.setValue('x', 'true');

g_form.setValue('x', 1);

g_form.setValue('x', '1');

2. I am setting checkbox to mandatory in a catalog ui policy. But that is also not working

Any ideas on this front will be welcome

Regards

Hello Hetal,

1- g_form.setValue('x', true);

2- Using Catalog Client Script you can make as mandatory.

function onSubmit(){
    //Set the mandatory checkbox variable names and total mandatory count here
    var mandatoryVars = 'option1,option2,option3,option4';
    var mandatoryCount = 2;
    
    var passed = forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatoryVars, mandatoryCount);
    if(!passed){
        //Abort the submit
        var message = 'You must select at least ' + mandatoryCount + ' options.';
        g_form.addErrorMessage(message);
        return false;
    }
}

function forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatory, count){
    //Split the mandatory variable names into an array
    mandatory = mandatory.split(',');
    var answer = false;
    var varFound = false;
    var numTrue = 0;
    //Check each variable in the array
    for(x=0;x<mandatory.length;x++){
        //Check to see if variable exists
        if(g_form.hasField(mandatory[x])){
            varFound = true;
            //Check to see if variable is set to 'true'
            if(g_form.getValue(mandatory[x]) == 'true'){
                numTrue ++;
                //Exit the loop if we have reached required number of 'true'
                if(numTrue >= count){
                    answer = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    //If we didn't find any of the variables allow the submit
    if(varFound == false){
        answer = true;
    }
    //Return true or false
    return answer;
}

Hi Nayan

This solution is in case where i want to validate on submit

In my case i want to make the checkbox mandatory (it works fine when i set the checkbox variable as mandatory in the variable definition itself) using a catalog ui policy

You need to check them in the onsubmit script

if (g_form.getValue('x')==false || g_form.getValue('x')=='')

{

g_form.showFieldMsg('x','Please check the box','error');

return false;

}

I have written below simple code in onLoad script and it is working.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
g_form.setValue('checkme',true);
}

similarly I have made this checkbox mandatory using UI policy. This is working too.

See screenshots.

Hope this helps.
