how to set priority based on list field?

KM SN · ‎05-08-2023

Based on the list field values i am setting priority and in the list if values are different priority will be with higher order based on values selected.

But here instead of declaring 20 variables how i need to check the values and if possible can any one write script using switch instead of if and else ifs.(Over all concept is we need to optimize the code)

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var a = g_form.getValue('abbuse');

var Deathofachild_p1 = 'be1d7d004f38e950a9a2a38021ad487d';
var PhysicalAbuse_p1 = 'd33c79cc4ff4e950a9a2a38021ad4846';

var prty = g_form.getControl('priority');

if (a.indexOf(Deathofachild_p1) > -1 || a.indexOf(PhysicalAbuse_p1) > -1 || a.indexOf(SexualAbuseExploitation_p1) > -1 || a.indexOf(HumanTrafficking_p1) > -1) {

Let me frame the requirement clearly

i have reference list field where we can find 20 values and 20 were belongs to 4 priorities.

(like if selected value have priority value 4 means low, if priority value is 1 means critical etc)

pls see SS for better understanding.

user can select multiple values or single value, if so we need set priority in case form based on lowest priority value as list consist multiple.

Example 1:

assume if list consists 5 abuses

Human Trafficking, Priority Value:1

Improper Care, Priority Value: 2

Abandonment and Safe Surrender , Priority Value: 3

Adoption in Violation of Law, Priority Value: 4

Emotional/Mental/Psychological Abuse, Priority Value: 3

then priority should be critical in our case form as one of list consist highest priority value as 1

Example 2:

if list consist two abuses

Improper Care, Priority Value: 2

Abandonment and Safe Surrender , Priority Value: 3

then priority should be High in our case form as one of list consist highest priority value as 2.

@KM SN

okay got it

then do this

1) create array for each priority so there will be 4 arrays

2) then check that array

Instead of defining arrays what my manager asking me it is i need to get the selected list priority values by dot walking or any other method and then i need to keep higher priority value to a variable and then setting it to priority on form.

he is saying that its static he need dynamic code so that if any other values inserted reference table along with this 20 our code should work.

I am unable to get selected list priority values into client script, any idea about it?
