Uncaught ReferenceError: g_list is not defined

[Justin Lucas]

I am writing an onSubmit catalog client script and I want to check if a value in a reference field is included in a list collector.   The purpose being that the same user cannot be listed in both places.   Here is what I'm trying to do:

var collectorName = 'add_employees_list';

var myListCollector = g_list.get(collectorName);

var selectedOptions = g_form.getValue(collectorName).split(',');

var approver = g_form.getValue('new_hire_approval_email');

if (selectedOptions.includes(approver) == 1) {

  alert("The approver cannot be included in the Additional Employees list.   Please select a different approver.");

  return false;

}

When I run this code, the console returns "Uncaught ReferenceError: g_list is not defined".   I'm not sure why g_list is coming back as undefined.   Any ideas?

Try to use g_form in the place of g_list

Actually I realized that the myListCollector variable wasn't even necessary for what I was trying to accomplish.   By removing the variable from the script, it worked.   Thank you for your response!

Here is something I got from wiki:

g_list is the variable used to access a specified list object. The g_list variable is not available to the related lists form link UI action. It is available to the lists form link UI action.
