Compare Login User with the Assigned To reference field in the UI Action button

[BKSharma]

Hi,

I'm working on some UI Action. In the RITM form I've a UI Action button.

My requirement is to when a user click on that button, I need to validate, if the logged in user is the user mentioned in the assigned_to field or anyother user.

How I can validate this?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

I just tried below but it's not getting validated -

function checkMandatory() {

    if (g_form.getValue('state') == '5' && (current.assigned_to == gs.getUserID())) {

        if (g_form.getValue('comments') == '') {

            g_form.hideFieldMsg('comments');

            g_form.setMandatory('comments', true);

            alert('Additional Comments are mandatory when placing the requested item into Work in Progress.');

            return false;

        }

    } else

    if ((g_form.getValue('work_notes') == '') && (g_form.getValue('comments') == '')) {

        g_form.hideFieldMsg('work_notes');

        g_form.hideFieldMsg('comments');

        g_form.setMandatory('work_notes', true);

        g_form.setMandatory('comments', true);

        alert('Work Notes and Additional Comments are mandatory when placing the requested item into Work in Progress.');

        return false;

    }

    g_form.setValue('state', 2);

    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'requested_item_work_in_progress');

}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')

    serverWIP();

function serverWIP() {

    current.state = 2;

    current.update();

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

Can you please let me know, where I'm doing wrong?

My requirement is, if the logged in user is the Assigned To user, then Additional Comments (comments) is mandatory else, both Worknote (work_note) and Additional Comments (comments) are mandatory. 
This needs to be done through UI Action only. As there is a dedicated UI action button for the same.

update as this

function checkMandatory() {
    if (g_form.getValue('state') == '5' && (g_form.getValue('assigned_to') == g_user.userID)) {
        if (g_form.getValue('comments') == '') {
            g_form.hideFieldMsg('comments');
            g_form.setMandatory('comments', true);
            alert('Additional Comments are mandatory when placing the requested item into Work in Progress.');
            return false;
        }
    } else
    if ((g_form.getValue('work_notes') == '') && (g_form.getValue('comments') == '')) {
        g_form.hideFieldMsg('work_notes');
        g_form.hideFieldMsg('comments');
        g_form.setMandatory('work_notes', true);
        g_form.setMandatory('comments', true);
        alert('Work Notes and Additional Comments are mandatory when placing the requested item into Work in Progress.');
        return false;
    }

    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'requested_item_work_in_progress');
}


if (typeof window == 'undefined')
    serverWIP();

function serverWIP() {
    current.state = 2;
    current.update();
    action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

I just need one more validation here in the else part of the code - How I can check the logged In User is a part of same assignment group or not in the same UI action button?

[Ankur Bawiskar]

@BKSharma 

you can use display business rule and store g_scratchpad variable

that variable will hold and check if logged in user is part of same group or not

then access it in client side code of UI action.

I hope you are aware on how to create display BR and use scratchpad variable.
