how can i highlight a field on a form.

reyservicenow · ‎06-26-2017

during my research i have found:

but I was thinking to use that orange indicator for a change to the incident form that highlights the fact that a due date is about to pass or has passed.

how can I create a new indicator... and what is the best way to do this? with a business rule? a BR to run after the form has loaded? and then checks the due date field on the incident form?

suggestions anyone?

let me involve the CSS master jim.coyne

Thanks

I don't think you'll be able to do it in a business rule, but you could use a field style to do this if you don't want to use a client script.

Define field styles

And here's an example of using an advanced condition that involves dates.

Advanced style selection

What are you using and what exactly isn't working?

I am using

javascript:gs.dateDiff(gs.now(), current.due_date.getDisplayValue(), true) < 0

for the value field to check if the date is past today's date like this document says...Define field styles then it will highlight the field.
