Make an order guide variable "ReadOnly" on "choose options" tab

[Dacki]

Hi,

I have a field "Beneficiary" on an order guide .   This field is populated   on the order guide form.

I wrote a catalog client script to make it readonly   on the first tab .

When   I go back   by clicking   on     " describe needs" button, I want     the beneficaiary field can be editable.

My catalog client script is :

function onLoad() {

        if (g_form.getParameter('sysparm_active')!='') {

      // this stuff only runs if catalog item is viewed in Order Guide

      g_form.setReadOnly('Myvariable',true);

  }

}

So   I want   that when I am on "describe needs"   tab   the   "beneficiary" field to be readonly   but   not   on "choose options"   tab.

Thanks you in advance for you help !

You could try something like this in an onload catalog client script (assuming this is on a variable set?).

var thisGuide = $("sysparm_guide").value;

var thisItem = $("current_item").value;

if(thisGuide == thisItem) {

g_form.setReadOnly('Myvariable', true);

}

This should make the variable read-only as the order guide loads (or if you navigate back to the Describe Needs screen) but would take no action when a catalog item is loaded (when you click choose options).

Hi ,

Thanks you so munch for your answer.   It works.

I tried the   catalog client script   and it works as bellow :

1.   When I am on   "Describe   needs"   tab     the " beneficiary" field is   ReadOnly.  

2.   But when I am   on "choose option"   tab     the " beneficiary" field is   not   ReadOnly.

Could you tell   me   how to do the opposite   ?     That is finaly   the   request of   the customer .

Many Thanks

Hi.You should write the catalog client script for the Catalog Item present in the Choose Options tab.

Some thing like onLoad :

g_form.setReadOnly('Myvariable', true);

Did you get a response for this?  I'm currently looking to do the same - make it read only on the options page.
