How to get value of variable from catalog item in catalog task client script?

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

How can I make one field on catalog task form read only based on value selected in catalog item variable?

I have tried below code to get value of variable but not getting result.

g_form.getValue('variables.assignment_group');

Please provide your suggestions on this.

Thank you!!

Hello,

You can get the value of a field on the form by using:

g_form.getValue('field_name');

The above will get the value of both form fields and variables.

If you have a form field AND a variable named the same, then using the above will only get the form field whereas:

g_form.getValue('variables.field_name');

Will get the value of the variable that has the same name as a form field.

In your scenario, do you have both a form field AND a variable named assignment_group? And you're trying to get the value of the variable field named: assignment_group? If not...and you're trying to get the value of a form field named assignment_group, then please use the 1st example I gave.

From there, you can evaluate as you need and then set a field or variable to read only by using:

g_form.setReadOnly('field_name', true); //for form fields or unique variable names otherwise...
g_form.setReadOnly('variables.field_name', true); //for variables that are named the same as form fields
