Cancel confirm window after clicking cancel button

[jesusemelendezm]

Hi SN folks,

What can I use to configure a confirm pop up - when clicking cancel button on the change form. If user press cancel - It will ask confirmation, if press OK - cancel change- if cancel It must return to change form without cancelling the record.

Thanks for your help.

As at Jan 2022:

Kalaiarasan's script seems to work well, but some notes for anyone having issues (as the original post is now seven years old) this worked for me:

1. If you're looking to cancel a "Change request", the state needs to be set to '4',

i.e. current.state = 4;   instead of current.state = 8;

2. The "Action Name" referenced in his comments appear to match the sys_id of your UI Action if you check the 'data-action-name' DOM element of the cancel button,

i.e.   gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), '5f2777b3Hb100200d71cb9c0c24c9c91');  //sys_id of your UI Action.

---------------------------------------Full Script Below--------------------------------------------

//Note: The 'Client' checkbox must be ticked on the UI Action.

//Note: The 'Onclick' field must contain the function name i.e. cancelChange();

function cancelChange(){

var answer=confirm("Are you sure you want to cancel the change request?");
   if (answer==true) {
        gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'your_ui_action_sys_id');
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined'){
   current.state = 4;
   current.update();
   action.setRedirectURL(current);
   gs.addInfoMessage('The change request has been cancelled.');
}

Thank you for all your responses. 

I have the same requireement but when the user click OK then it ask for some mandatory field. However after filling the fields pop up comes again. Is there any way to set user preferences here to avoid this pop up coming twice ?

return false(); doesn't work in onchange client script.

so if cancel is clicked for confirm box then value should remain old one and confirm box should vanish. 

how to achieve this??
