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
