Mandatory and read only fields after save

[scottjus82]

Hey all,

I now have a requirement to lock fields, make them mandatory and unlock depending on states and wondered what the best/quickest approach would be below is the flow and what locks/mandatorys are needed

When the phase is in definition nothing is mandatory. this is a draft phase and at this point the user can save, request 4 eyes check and delete the record. Once 4 eyes is requested all fields are locked down other than the one for the name of the 4 eyes checker and if its approved or not. Once approved fields are no longer locked and the majority of them become mandatory. I had thoght a simple UI policy would be fine but that makes fields mandatory as soon as the 4 eyes approves. They should only be mandatory once the change is saved as it will be someone else populating those fields. With the different locks,unlocks and mandatory s I wondered how others have done it. My initial thought was a hidden check box that ticks once 4 eyes is done I then base my UI policy on that tick box.

Any thoughts?

You could create an onLoad client script that checks the fields value.

That way it would be ok to edit until you save the form

you could then set your mandatory fields in the onLoad script

Hey Both,

thanks for the response. I have tried setting up a Client script for this as I will be adding a number of conditions and i believe being able to add multiple ifs and else would fit the bill. I have tried various scripts with no success. the latest version is below. I did have one script that set the fields to the relevant state but only when I clicked the button, once the page completed the buttons action (changing phase) the fields reverted back to the previous state.

function onLoad() {

    var hide = true;

    if (g_form.getControl('incident_state')) {

          var incident_state = g_form.getValue('incident_state');

          if (incident_state == '6' || incident_state == '7')

                hide = false;

    }

    if (g_form.getControl('state')) {

          var state = g_form.getValue('state');

          if (state == '6' || state == '7')

                hide = false;

    }

    if (hide) {

          g_form.setDisplay('close_notes',false);

          g_form.setDisplay('close_code',false);

    } else {

          g_form.setDisplay('close_notes',true);

          g_form.setMandatory('close_notes',true);

          g_form.setDisplay('close_code',true);

          g_form.setMandatory('close_code',true);

    }

}

Any thoughts on any obvious mistakes?

Wrong script. current script is:

function onLoad() {

    var hide = true;

    if (g_form.getControl('phase')) {

          var phase_state = g_form.getValue('phase');

          if (phase_state =! 'Waiting Technical Review' )

                hide = false;

    }

    if (g_form.getControl('phase')) {

          var phase = g_form.getValue('phase');

          if (state == 'Waiting Technical Review' )

                hide = true;

    }

    if (hide) {

          g_form.setMandatory('u_4eyes_checker', true);

g_form.setMandatory('u_4eyes_completed', true);

g_form.setReadonly('start_date',true);

    }

}
