why on submit client script doesn't work on delete,discuss,follow, unfollow button

Hi @samreenayesha 

The "onSubmit" client script doesn’t work for buttons like Delete, Discuss, Follow, or Unfollow because these actions don't trigger the form submission process that client scripts are designed to handle. For these buttons, consider using UI Actions or server-side Business Rules to handle custom logic.

Happy Learning

The onsubmit client script will be only executed on action_name=sysverb_{insert|insert_and_stay|update|update_and_stay} UI Actions.

If you want a client script to be executed there you're unfortunately pretty limited.

E.g. you create a custom delete UI Action (with client = true) and override the ootb one. The Follow, Discuss and Unfollow buttons aren't real UI Actions afaik so you cannot do this there unfortunately.
