Comparing List Collector Values with another variable, if it matches show alert

[Nasir1]

Hi,

Sorry it might be a noob question but I have catalog item that has a list collector (employee_current_roles) which auto-populates user's roles with all the roles user is member of, I have another variable (role) on the form that is reference field and users can pick up any roles and log the request.

What I want to do is If any of the roles in list collector matches the value in referenced field I want a pop up to say User is already member of the role but I am not sure if what I am doing is correct, please help.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    var urole = g_form.getValue('role');
    var gr = g_form.getValue('employee_current_roles'); //  getting the List Collector Variable value
    var ar = gr.split(','); // split the list collector by comma
    
    for (var i = 0; i < ar.length; i++); 

    if (ar.indexOf(urole) == -1) //if field values are the same then send alert
       { 
        alert('User is already Member of the Selected role');
        g_form.clearValue('role');
    }

}

Only component that you need is :

 var urole = g_form.getValue('role');
var gr = g_form.getValue('employee_current_roles');
if( gr.indexOf(urole) > -1){
    alert("role already present");
}

Aman not working as intended, now when I select other role or any role it just pops up with the message 😞

Can you try to alert both field values as well when you are changing the field, and check if when you select a different value than the list what alerts you are getting.

The script that is suggested, is supposed to work

On which field do you have this onChange client script?
