Is there an alternative for g_form.isNewRecord()?

[ahmedaabdel]

Hi

I want a similar method as g_form.isNewRecord() to return true on the submit of a form to be used as a condition for changing a field value using:

"g_form.setValue('u_customer_state', 'Assigned');"

as this work everytime when i use it in the else part but i want to change it to else if

function onCondition() {

    if(g_form.isNewRecord()){  

      g_form.setValue('u_customer_state', 'Open');

    }

    else{

        g_form.setValue('u_customer_state', 'Assigned');

    }

}

Why client script is required?

why not use before insert BR which runs only once and will set the value to Open?

OR

why not use default value as Open for that at dictionary level

Hello @ahmedaabdel 

Using an onSubmit client script is an ideal solution when you need to execute logic specifically during the form submission process.

function onSubmit() {
    if (g_form.isNewRecord()) {
        g_form.setValue('u_customer_state', 'Open');
    } else {
        g_form.setValue('u_customer_state', 'Assigned');
    }
}

Hope this helps!
