Catalog Client Script

[DreDay3000]

Hello, I have a catalog client script that should display a message when a check box is unchecked after being checked.

When the box is unchecked, the error message should show

 

 This is the script I have so far: 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    if (newValue == 'false') {

        g_form.showFieldMsg(has_call_activation_number_for_this_tree_been_added, 'CANNOT CONTINUE! All items in required information section MUST be met before continuing. Refer to Instructions for more information.', 'info');

    }

}

 

 Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi @DreDay3000 , Try adding condition like this.

if (oldValue == 'true' && newValue == 'false') {
g_form.showFieldMsg('has_call_activation_number_for_this_tree_been_added',
'CANNOT CONTINUE! All items in required information section MUST be met before continuing. Refer to Instructions for more information.',
'info');

The script that you are currently using does not check what the current or previous value of the field is. The above script should work.

Hi @DreDay3000 ,

There are no quotes for variable/field you used in the script. Please use below updated script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}

if (newValue === 'false') {
g_form.showFieldMsg(
'has_call_activation_number_for_this_tree_been_added',
'CANNOT CONTINUE! All items in required information section MUST be met before continuing. Refer to Instructions for more information.',
'error'
);
}
}

If your goal is to block submission until the checkbox is true, you might also want to use an onSubmit client script instead of just onChange. That way, you can prevent the form from being submitted until the condition is met.

Mark it helpful if this helps you to understand. Accept solution if this give you the answer you're looking for

Hello @DreDay3000 ,

the mistake I'm able to see is only with the variable name as it is not quoted as a 1st parameter(<field_name>)..

replace this :

if (newValue === 'false') {
g_form.showFieldMsg(
'has_call_activation_number_for_this_tree_been_added',
'CANNOT CONTINUE! All items in required information section MUST be met before continuing. Refer to Instructions for more information.',
'info'
);
}

Note : To provides a "hard stop" consider adding onSubmit catalog client script..

Hi @DreDay3000,

As @pavani_paluri mentioned you have missed to add quotes to the variable.

Please try with below code, I have done it in the PDI. 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    if (newValue == 'false') {

        g_form.showFieldMsg('has_call_activation_number_for_this_tree_been_added', 'CANNOT CONTINUE! All items in required information section MUST be met before continuing. Refer to Instructions for more information.', 'info');

    }

}
