Variable condition on catalog task

[munwala]

Hi All,

I have a variable which is displayed only on the catalog task form and I want to make it mandatory only when the State of the catalog task is updated to 'Closed Complete'.

In order to accomplish this I have a UI policy created which displays it only on the catalog task form and hides it elsewhere. Now the trouble I am having is how should I set up the condition where it should be mandatory only when the catalog task State changes to 'Closed Complete'?

Can it be done in the same UI policy or will I need a client script?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Pradeep,

Yes I will have to use onchange client script. Can you provide me with the code for the same please?

Thanks,

And also as I mentioned I want to make it mandatory when the catalog task state changes to 'Closed complete'.

Here you go.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

   return;

   }

   alert(newValue);

   var st = g_form.getValue('state');

   if(oldValue != newValue && st == 3)

   {

   g_form.setMandatory('short_description', true);

   }

   else

   {

   g_form.setMandatory('short_description', false);

   }

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below



}

Hi Pradeep,

What should I select under the 'Variable name' within the onchange client script.

I tried your above code but its not working.

I replaced short description with my custom variable which I have on the catalog item which I want to make it mandatory and force the fulfiller to fill it before they can closed complete the task. It's a reference type variable.

Am I missing something in my code which is why it is not working?

You might be making this a lot harder than it should be.   Using a catalog UI Policy is going to be a lot easier than trying to script it, plus it's easier to manipulate if you ever need to make a change.
