How to add confirmation message before deleting change request record

[Pratiksha2]

Hello,

I have created separate delete UI action for change request table to prevent deletion of change request if it has any open change tasks.

Now, I want to show confirmation message before deleting change request.

Can anyone help me to achieve this?

Please check my code below:

var id = current.sys_id;
var FinalUrl2 = new checkOpenChangetasks();
 var result2 = FinalUrl2.openChangetasks1(id);

if (result2 == true) {
 gs.addErrorMessage('Please delete change task(s) prior to deletion of the change request');
 action.setRedirectURL(current);

 } else {
 var tasks = new GlideRecord("change_task");
tasks.addQuery("change_request", current.sys_id);
 tasks.query();

 while (tasks.next()) {
tasks.deleteMultiple();
 }

current.setWorkflow(false);
current.deleteRecord();
 action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

code is working  to prevent deletion of change request if it has any open change tasks. but I am not able to add confirmation message before deleting record.

@Pratiksha2 so if there are change tasks then you are returning true from Script include and which is preventing the deletion right ? 

are you trying to delete the change record in script include and putting the error message in script incldue itself ?

If yes try to put the log in UI action code after you return the value from script include

add client script before like below

confirmDelete () {

var confirmDelete = confirm("Do you really want to delete ?"); //confirm returns true if pressed ok and returns false when clicked cancel

if (confirmDelete == true){

Use gsftsubmit to run the server side script

}

}
