Want to hide a variable if the logged in user has a role using Catalog Client script

[jonathangilbert]

Hi All

I have been looking on the forum and I cant see a solution for what I am trying to achieve on a catalog item.

I am trying to hide a variable on the Portal Form if the user has a role, but the suggestions I have tried and tried to tweak do not work.

Here is my script:-

  function onLoad() {

    if (g_user.hasRoleExactly('New_starter_vip_colleague',true))

        return;

        g_form.setDisplay("colleagues_name",false);

}

So if the logged in user has the role "New_starter_vip_colleague", then hide the "colleagues_name" variable

Many Thanks all

Hi @jonathangilbert 

You should not use "return" in second line as next line code will not run.

Can you try this..!!

  function onLoad() {

    if (g_user.hasRoleExactly('New_starter_vip_colleague')) {
        //you need to make mandatory false if they are mandatory
        g_form.setMandatory("colleagues_name",false);
        g_form.setVisible("colleagues_name",false);

    }

}

@jonathangilbert 

do this

function onLoad() {

	if (g_user.hasRoleExactly('New_starter_vip_colleague'))
		g_form.setDisplay("colleagues_name",false);

}
