Onchange client script

[GBS]

I have written the below onchange client script to make Subcategory mandatory when the Category is Software but it is not working.

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

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    var category = g_form.getValue('category');

    if (category === 'software') {

        g_form.setMandatory('subcategory', true);

    } else {

        g_form.setMandatory('subcategory', false);

    }

}

Hi @GBS 

Create UI Policy

Thanks for the response, but I want to achieve it by script

Hi @GBS 

Description

When client script is used to make a field not mandatory, the field is instead made mandatory.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a client script to make the Short Description field of a change request NOT mandatory.
   An example client script is attached to this article.
2. Open a change request record.
   Note that the Short Description field does not appear to be mandatory.
3. Clear the Short Description field and try to save the record.
   A warning is displayed stating that the short description is mandatory and the record cannot be saved. 

Workaround

Work around the issue by setting your script to use a boolean argument rather than a string:

Before: g_form.setMandatory(field, 'false')

After: g_form.setMandatory(field, false);

Hi @GBS 

Syntax:

g_form.setMandatory('fieldname',true); // To make mandatory

g_form.setMandatoy('fieldname',false); //to make non-mandatory

g_form.setReadOnly('fieldname',true); // To make Readonly

g_form.setReadOnly('fieldname',false); //to make non-readonly
