Hi,

Just add one more line as shown below:

g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name','Error Message: The entered value is not allowed','error');

g_form.clearValue('field_name');

// this will clear value , hope your field is mandatory so user won't be able to submit form with empty field

Or use same logic in on submit client script and instead of clear value use below:

g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name','Error Message: The entered value is not allowed','error');

return false;

Thanks,

Hi Vinay,

You can write an On Change type client script, which will run on that integer type field.

In the script you can have the validation as

if (g_form.getValue('<integer_field_name>') == 10 || g_form.getValue('<integer_field_name>') == 30 || g_form.getValue('<integer_field_name>') == 40) {
g_form.showFieldMsg('<integer_field_name>','Error Message: The entered value is not allowed','error');
}

This will add the validation to the field.

Thanks. 🙂

Hi K9,

Thanks for your reply but as I tried , given on change client script is not working.. it's unable to validate values and accepting the all integers although I have given 10 and 20 to be taken..

Can you please share screenshot of your client script?

Please try below logic:

if (g_form.getValue('field_name') != 10 && g_form.getValue('field_name') != 30 && g_form.getValue('field_name') != 40) {
g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name','Error Message: The entered value is not allowed','error');
}

Make sure client script is of type on Change and field selected is your integer field.

Thanks,
