Help on UI policy script to show a field message on specific field value

[JC S_]

We have a business requirement to show a certain field message depending on the value of the Priority field.

For example field message A will be shown when Priority is 4 and it will show message B when Priority is 1.

How can we implement this?

i would suggest you can use client script onChange() on priority to fulfill this requirement

ui policy always use to make field read only, mandatory and to make field visible.

if(g_form.getValue('priority')==1) 

{

g_form.addInfoMessage(' hey');

}

else if (g_form.getValue('priority')==4) 

{

g_form.addInfoMessage(' hey again');

}

Hello JC,



If you insist to achieve your goal via UI Policy - then, You may create a UI Policy against the respective table and condition: Priority | is | 4 - Low (for example). Then, you may use the Script section and Run script while adding the following script point in 'Execute if true':

function onCondition() {
if(g_form.getValue('priority' == 4)){
        g_form.showFieldMsg('priority', "Message A", "info");   
    }
} 

and this one in 'Execute if false':

function onCondition() {
g_form.hideFieldMsg('priority');
}

I believe you may use else if statements to add both the message in one UI Policy.

Hope this input will be of use to you!
