Where can I find docs for "sys_action"????

[DrewW]

I am trying to do some client scripting, specificly making some fields manditory when you close an Incident. I found a sample script in the Wiki but it does not work. The reason it does not work is because sys_action.value returns bbddb6bbc0a81823adf328cbbba or something like it and the script is looking for "incident_close". So I am looking for documentation of what sys_action is supposed to do, it properties and any methods it may have.

The Wiki is very lacking in this area.

Can you post the script that you are developing?

It was a sample script in the Wiki and it did not work because of what the sys_action was returning.

function onSubmit() {
var form = gel('incident.do');
var sClsBtn = form.sys_action;
var inc_state = g_form.getValue('incident_state');

alert(sClsBtn.value);

if (sClsBtn.value == 'close_incident' || inc_state == '6' || inc_state == '7') {
var close_note=g_form.getValue('close_notes');
if (close_note == '') { ''
alert('Close Notes are mandatory!');
g_form.setMandatory('close_notes', true);
return false;
}
}
}

Try this script.

function onSubmit() {
// get the name of our form
var formName = g_form.tableName + ".do";
// get the form
var form = gel(formName);
var action = form.sys_action.value;
var state = '6';
if(action == 'close_incident'){
state = '7';
}


if(action == 'close_incident' || action == 'resolve_incident'){
g_form.setValue('incident_state',state);
g_form.setDisplay('close_notes',true);
g_form.setDisplay('close_code',true);
g_form.setMandatory('close_notes',true);
g_form.setMandatory('close_code',true);

if (g_form.getControl('close_notes') && g_form.getControl('close_code'))
if(g_form.getValue('close_notes') == '' || g_form.getValue('close_code') ==''){
return false;
}
}
}
