on change and onload Client script is not working

[tushar_ghadage]

Hi all ,

I have requirement where 

when i open a new change task record default state is pending (-5) 

so when its in pending state i want to hide close state (3). 

and after i save the form then when i change the state to any other choice like open , cancelled or in progress 

then close should appear back again ( both choices are in state field )

for this I wrote on load and on change client script: 

function onLoad() {

// Delay to ensure choices are fully rendered

setTimeout(function () {

// Always add "Closed" in case it's missing

if (!gForm.getOption('state', '3')) {

gForm.addOption('state', '3', 'Closed');

}

// If state is 'Pending' (-3), remove "Closed"

if (gForm.getValue('state') == '-5') {

gForm.removeOption('state', '3');

}

}, 300); // Wait 300ms for form to finish rendering

} 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading) return;

// Always re-add "Closed" in case it was removed earlier

if (!gForm.getOption('state', '3')) {

gForm.addOption('state', '3', 'Closed');

}

// If user selects "Pending", hide "Closed"

if (newValue == '-3') {

gForm.removeOption('state', '3');

}

} 

but both of them are not working

could any one suggest whats wrong here 

thanks!!

Hello @tushar_ghadage,

Business Rule for Subsequent State Changes:

• Name: Show Close State on State Change
• Table: Change Task
• Advanced: True
• When to run: After
• Insert: True
• Update: True
• Condition: current.state.changes() (This ensures the rule runs only when the state field is updated)
• Script: 

(function() {
  if (current.state.getDisplayValue() != 'Pending') {
    var closeState = g_form.getControl('close_state_field'); //Replace with your actual field name for the close state.
    if (closeState) {
      closeState.style.display = '';
    }
    // Or if using a choice list, you can use:
    // g_form.setDisplay('close_state_field', true); //Replace with your actual field name for the close state.

  }
})();

Are you sure this script will work?

@tushar_ghadage 

try this

1) create onLoad client script and write a helper function and the same can be invoked from onchange client script as well

Note: use correct state choice value & label to add

onLoad client script

function onLoad() {
    updateStateChoices(g_form.getValue('state'));
    g_form.setMandatory('state', true); // Optional: make state mandatory
}

function updateStateChoices(stateValue) {
    if (!g_form.getOption('state', '3')) {
        g_form.addOption('state', '3', 'Closed');
    }
    if (stateValue == '-5') {
        g_form.removeOption('state', '3');
    }
}

onChange of state

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) return;
    updateStateChoices(newValue);
}
