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');
    }

}

Try below,

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

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

}

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi Abhijit,

Thanks I have already tried that, @amankumar already mentioned it before but unfortunately the pop up displays everytime I change the value in the field.

Yes, it will show popup every time you change the value if that role exist, what's issue then?
